    Hello, I’ve been learning to use WordPress for a week now for my jewelry shopping mall website. I have it installed in a shared hosting server, not in my computer. I’ve just started making the site and I have a very basic question. If I finish making a post and click on the publish icon, does it immediately go online for everyone to see? What I’d like to do is to finish making the whole site and let it go online on the opening date.

    Welcome to WordPress!

    Yes, as soon as you hit publish, the post is live.

    What you can do is install a under construction or coming soon plugin. (google ‘wordpress plugin coming soon and try some). Thi will put up a default page for anyone not logged into the site. Once you are happy, you disable the plugin and the site is live.

    Good luck with your site.
