Publish

First look in the editor if your site has passed the boundaries of the publish zone box.

Then, move it back to its right place, or, look at the top menu –files- settings, and change your doc size according to your needs.

How can I "un-publish" my site / Make my Wix site invisible to search engines?

If you don't want your site to be visible to search engines, you can unpublish it by going to Settings> Privacy > uncheck "list in search engines".
Once you have unchecked "list in search engines" be sure to hit Save!
Please note: If the site has already been indexed it will take about one month to be updated in the Google search engine. A trick around this if your site has already been indexed is to open your Wix in the editor, go to File > Save As and save it under a new name. Then be sure to go to Settings > uncheck "list in search engines". Then go to your My Account and delete the one that has been indexed that you want private.

Can I connect more than one domain to one Wix site/document?

At the moment, you can only connect one domain (URL) to each Wix site.

But don't fear there is a simple solution if you do own more than one domain (for example: www.domain.com and www.domain.co.uk):

Step 1. Upgrade your Wix site (if you haven't already) and follow the steps to connecting your domain with 1 of your URLs e.g. www.domain.com.

You'll find instructions for how to do this here: http://support.wix.com/index.php/Connect_your_domain

Step 2. Once that domain is connected to your Wix site you simply ask your hosting company to point all your other domains (e.g. www.domain.co.uk) to the first domain. (www.domain.com)

That way only one domain will be pointing directly to your Wix site and all other domains will point to the domain that is connected to Wix.
