How do you unpublish a website on Wix?

To unpublish a website on Wix, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Your Wix Account:
– Open your web browser and go to www.wix.com.
– Click on the “Sign In” button at the top right corner of the page.
– Enter your login credentials (email address and password) and click “Log In.”

2. Go to Your Wix Dashboard:
– After logging in, you’ll be taken to your Wix dashboard.
– In the dashboard, you’ll see a list of websites associated with your account.

3. Select the Website to Unpublish:
– Locate the website you want to unpublish from the list.
– Hover over the website’s thumbnail, and you’ll see a settings icon (three dots) appear in the top right corner of the thumbnail.
– Click on the settings icon.

4. Access the Website Settings:
– Clicking on the settings icon will open a drop-down menu with several options.
– From the menu, select “Manage Site.”

5. Go to Site Settings:
– In the Wix Editor, you’ll see the left sidebar with various options.
– At the bottom of the sidebar, click on the gear icon labeled “Site.”
– This will take you to the Site Settings page.

6. Unpublish the Website:
– Scroll down the Site Settings page until you reach the “Advanced” section.
– In the Advanced section, you’ll find an option labeled “Unpublish Site.”
– Click on the “Unpublish Site” button.

7. Confirm Unpublishing:
– A confirmation pop-up window will appear, asking you to confirm the unpublishing action.
– Read the warning message carefully, as unpublishing a site will make it inaccessible to the public.
– If you’re sure you want to proceed with unpublishing the site, click the “Unpublish” button.

8. Verify Unpublishing:
– To ensure that you really want to unpublish your website, Wix may require you to verify your decision.
– Follow any additional prompts or steps provided by Wix to complete the unpublishing process.

Once you unpublish your website, it will no longer be accessible to the public. However, you can still access and make changes to your site in the Wix Editor.

If you decide to republish your website in the future, you can follow a similar process and select the “Publish Site” option instead.

Remember to consider the implications of unpublishing your website, as it will make your content unavailable to visitors. Make sure to communicate any necessary information to your site’s visitors or take any other appropriate actions before unpublishing.

It is also worth noting that while Wix offers a fun platform to play with and easily make your own website on, website’s built on the Wix platform often do not look professional. If you are looking to build a website for a business or to represent a company you might be better considering a more professional option.
