    I bought a domain, bought hosting(Bluehost), installed wordpress on it. After that I bought a theme, installed and edited it, and now I’m ready to go online with it.
    Right now, when I go to my URL, I get to the coming soon screen and wp-login page.

    My question is how do I make it so that anyone who visits the URL can view the site homepage, ie how do I make my wordpress site go live?

    This is my first WP site so a detail answer would be well appreciated, thank you.

    That ‘coming soon’ screen on your africaawaken.com site appears to be specific to your hosting company; it is not part of a normal WordPress installation. I notice that the page includes the text:

    Are you the Site Owner?

    You should login to your WordPress installation and prepare your site for launch.

    To launch your site just click the link in the banner at the top of the screen.

    If the launch link referred to here is not obvious once you are logged in, you should ask your hosting company for help.

    Yes I dont see it when I log in. So If the screen wasn’t specific to the hosting company, how do you normally make a wordpress website go live?

    WordPress doesn’t have a coming soon page built in, so if you’re using a plugin or theme for it then you could simply deactivate the theme or plugin.

    Okay, so does this mean if I don’t have a coming soon page or plugin, the site is always live and visible to everyone?

    Yes – it is.

    Thanks, I figured it out, there was a MOJO marketplace plugin that was active, soon as I deactivated it the site goes on like and I can reactive it when Im working on it. Thank you Im new to this sorry for the newbie naiveness
