    My company’s first site was on wix.com. We’re now switching to WordPress, and it’s caused issues.

    So basically how we have it, is we bought our domain, and we were redirecting it to our wix site. But now when I go to the wp-admin URL it tries to redirect it to wix.

    so ourcompany.ca/wp-admin redirects to a 404 on Wix.

    Is there anyway to have it still redirect to Wix but to be able to use that URL to do some work on our new site?

    Yes you can. But you need to contact your host about it for them to give you a temporary URL. But it’ll be complicated if you build it using that coz you will have to change all link back to the original domain name.

    Sample of temp. URL using Linux Server.
    http://servername/~username/wp-admin or Windows/Linux
    http://IPaddress/~username/wp-admin

    So you will be building the site using the temp. link IPaddress/~username. Then once you’re finish with the project and ready to publish it, you need to change all the links back to your original domain i.e http://yourdomain.com
