Title: Correct Website not Publishing Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Correct Website not Publishing * Resolved [candyrockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candyrockstar/) * (@candyrockstar) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/) * I have created a website using WordPress.org and finally figured out how to get WordPress installed and connected to Bluehost. However, after I installed WP and selected the database, etc, my website is only showing the generic WP site. I don’t know how to upload the website I created. * From the website I want to be published, I went to Tools – Export – Export all content. I’ve uploaded all those files via Filezilla to Bluehost. * So, I’m guessing I didn’t save my created website correctly or I entered the information wrong when I set up WordPress. * I have been talking to Bluehost customer service for three days and they are not helping. * My website is: [http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/](http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/) * I feel like I’m really close, I just have no idea how to fix it. * Thanks so much!

I have a custom made website that I can view when I login through WordPress. When I login to WordPress through Bluehost, I cannot see my custom site. * [webdesignerchristian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdesignerchristian/) * (@webdesignerchristian) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251343) * did u load your database to the new wordpress? * [basdsign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basdsign/) * (@basdsign) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251353) * Thread Starter [candyrockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candyrockstar/) * (@candyrockstar) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251374) * I don’t think so. I don’t really know what my “database” is. I exported my XML file from the website I created and imported to WordPress on Bluehost, but it’s not working. * Thread Starter [candyrockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candyrockstar/) * (@candyrockstar) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251375) * I tried to follow those steps, but Bluehost does not have a “Simple Script” option. * basdsign wrote: * Hello Candyrockstar, Please check below website, hopes this help.

My problem is that it’s a generic WordPress site, and not the one I created. I went to Tools – Import and imported my XML file, but it did not work. * [webdesignerchristian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdesignerchristian/) * (@webdesignerchristian) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251384) * when you goto live wordpress > pages/posts do you see a list of your pages/posts you created? * Thread Starter [candyrockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candyrockstar/) * (@candyrockstar) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251385) * Yes, somehow I now see all my pages and posts, but the generic WP site is still is what’s published: [http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/](http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/). * [webdesignerchristian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdesignerchristian/) * (@webdesignerchristian) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251394) * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page) * Thread Starter [candyrockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candyrockstar/) * (@candyrockstar) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251396) * Thanks. I have it set to a static front page, but it’s still showing the generic webpage. * It looks like when I try to access other pages the information is there but not the formatting I created, and it’s still pulling all the information from the generic site, as seen here: [http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/sunday-school/](http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/sunday-school/) * [webdesignerchristian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdesignerchristian/) * (@webdesignerchristian) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251397) * Great I am seeing your content. * [http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/sunday-school/](http://www.gloriadeifamily.org/sunday-school/) * now add your theme and plugins * also, what page to you set as your home page? * Thread Starter [candyrockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candyrockstar/) * (@candyrockstar) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251398) * How do I add my theme and plugins? * So, I have a “Welcome” page created, it says: * Permalink: [http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/](http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/) * And I set my homepage to the “Welcome” page.

It’s showing up in my dashboard, as well. Not sure if that helps. * [webdesignerchristian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdesignerchristian/) * (@webdesignerchristian) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/correct-website-not-publishing/#post-7251402) * [@candy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candy/), I am glad all is running and yes you can edit and should edit All “Settings” and yes the permalink too and set to use /post-name/ structure. * I also advise to set home page to one of your pages you created. further, just ftp your theme and plugins to live wordpress site. * You may want to youtube to learn the basics filezilla and ftp wordpress themes and plugins * finally, any theme specific questions should be directed to developer of Minamaze Pro 1.8.14 * Please mark thread resolved.
