    Hi. I’m new here. I’m working on a website (http://kathleenkeenan.com/) and I took it offline while making changes. I thought I used the Maintenance Plugin to do so. Now when I deactivate the maintenance plugin I still get the “Coming soon” message as the homepage. I have spent hours searching for an answer but to no avail! Please help.

    Many many many thanks,
    Mandy

    I tried using myphp to reset the plugins to 0…if that helps.
    I looked at my index.php file and it does not have the coming soon message.
    I looked at my header.php file and it does not have the coming soon message.

    are you sure you only have one of those plugins installed? maybe theres another youre missing. if not, try going in with FTP to wp-content/plugins, and deleting or renaming the folder for that plugin.

    Thanks for your fast reply. I used FTP and deleted ALL of my plugins. There was an index.php in the plugins folder that I just left there. I’m dumbfounded b/c I cannot figure out where the Coming Soon message is coming from, though I or my predecessor must have edited it at one time b/c it is personalized with site info. I’m thinking I need to play around with the index.html or .htaccess file but those seem complicated. Any other suggestions? When I view the source of the Coming Soon page it says the stuff below. Can you tell where on my site this page is stored based on this info?

    Thanks!

    Check that you don’t have an index.html file in your root domain folder.

    I think I know where my root domain folder is, but maybe not. I did a search in my WordPress folder on my comp for index.html and there were no results. I then used myphp to search for it again, no results. Is there anywhere else I should be looking? I come up wtih a lot of index.phps but no index.html.

    Thank you for your help!

    You need to look on the remote server – not your computer.

    Ok, went to Filezilla- looked in the wp admin and content folders- no index.html. What to do?!

    not in wp-admin or wp-content. outside of there. in your public_html main directory. most likely the same directory where wp-admin and wp-content are.
