  When I preview my site (through the App) it looks as it’s supposed to. When I access it through the web or try to publish, it is different – It is one of the different set-ups/ themes I had previously tried out, with none of my content???
  The site I am working on (and what it’s meant to be like) is:
  https://rosecounsellingni.wordpress.com/?page_id=2
  However, it then alternatively displays this: https://rosecounsellingni.wordpress.com/ Can you help? Thanks.

  Site: https://rosecounsellingni.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  Go to My Site ->Pages.

  You’ll see two pages there: One titled “Rose Counselling Northern Ireland” which is currently set to draft, and one that is untitled, and set as the front page.

  So you’re seeing two completely different pages here. The one you’re previewing is the one that hasn’t been published yet, and that isn’t set as your front page. The one you see at your site’s homepage link is the published, untitled one.

  To have Rose Counselling Northern Ireland display as your homepage, first publish that page. Then go to Appearance ->Customize ->Homepage settings, and select that one as your front page instead of the untitled one that’s currently selected. Save, and you should be all set.

  Once you have the correct page set as front page, you can then delete the other one if you don’t want it.
