I do NOT want my site published before it's done.  How can I prevent that?!  Frustrating.

If you don't want your changes live, simply don't publish your site again until you're totally ready.

I just "published" my first website, using the weebly.com extension (free).  When I google search for it on the web, it is not found.  Why?

It can take a little while for Google to find and crawl your site, and even longer for it to come up based on certain keywords. For more info about SEO, I'd recommend taking a look at our SEO guide:

i have been waiting 3 hours for my page to publish its just circling and circling,,how long til done?? i made surei exited out of everything else. this is crazy

It should never take that long to publish, @saraballin. Try exiting the editor, clearing your cache, then publishing again.

I am using my own domain (transfer) for my website.  I built the website on weebly and published the build.  How long does it take to publish?  Also, what if I want to make adjustments to it?  how do I go about doing that?

Thank you

Publishing is instant, although it looks like your domain isn't pointed to us right now. If you point your domain to us like shown in our guide it should load your site:

My site hasn't published yet either. It goes up instantly?

It is strange.

Hi

What is the domain name?

hi 

I recently purchased a domain from godaddy to use on weebly. when i make the changes it says it went through but when i publish it it still says my website name .weebly.com. is there a way to fix it or does it just take a little while to load the new doamin? if so how long does it take for the custom domain to uplaod?

p.s. i purchased a 5 dollar plan for one month. does that have something to do with it?

Hi @MellozEDM9 You need the plan to publish the site to a personalized domain name. There's two steps in order to connect the domain. You need to update the domain on Go Daddy's end to point to our IP address and you also need to assign the domain from the Weebly editor. Click on Settings, then Site Address. You should be able to choose an option to connect a domain you already own. What is the name of the domain? I can check your settings for you. Thanks! 

hi bernadette i am actually having the same issue as @MellozEDM9 but i did change the ip address through Godaddy.com just this very moment. But i go to settings and i dont even have the option of "Site address change" i dont see it at the top or anywhere. What would your input be? 

From your designer dashboard, go to Websites and click on the site, then click on the "..." button, @Noname241. You should see an option there to set the site address.

Hi Adam,

Can you confirm if my domain is pointing to Weebly?

Hi there @lifestylecredit.

Thanks for reaching out. Can I please get your URL website? I'd be happy to help. 

Hello, I purchased a domain and a yearly subscription through weebly.com, set up my website and published it 16 hours ago. Will it populate to the internet eventually or is there another step I need to take?

Hi @mccartneyfan 👋

It looks like you purchased the yearly Pro plan, but have not registered the domain yet. The plan includes a 1 year domain registration which will automatically apply to the cart at checkout. 

Please click Website > Domains > Connect a domain. Search for the domain you wish to use, then follow the prompts to complete the registration. 

Once the domain is registered, it can take up to 24-48 hours to fully setup on the backend. It is usually a much faster process, though, so your site could be ready to go immediately, or within a few hours. 

Please let us know if you have any questions about this.
