Making Your WordPress Site Live (Publicly Viewable)

Follow these instructions to make your WordPress site publicly accessible on the internet.

  1. From the Dashboard menu, hover over Settings and select Reading in the flyout menu.
  2. In the Site Visibility section, select one of the following options according to your preference:
    • Allow search engines to index this site — this allows your site to be added to web search indexes.
    • Discourage search engines from indexing this site — your site is still visible on the web. However, it sends back code to direct search engines to ignore your site.
  3. Select Save Changes. Your site is now live.
