  Hi there,

  Go to My Site > Click Settings > Scroll down to the Privacy section > Coming Soon > Save.

  More info is here: https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/

  Hope that helps.

  Hi,

  Thanks for your quick reply. Followed steps and do not see the Privacy section. Selected My Site on wordpress.com and nothing. Selected setting from dashboard and got options for a privacy statement.

  Hi there,

  Could you please tell us the address of the site you need help with?
  Maybe it is not a WordPress.com website?

  Hi there,

  Your website jauntytraveler.com is not hosted on WordPress.com, but on Bluehost. So it uses the open source version of WordPress software, which is not exactly same as the one used on WordPress.com. As far as I see there is no default Coming Soon option on WordPress open source software, but you can install custom plugins to get the same result. Here is one good article that might help you: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wordpress-maintenance-mode.

  If that does not help, you can ask the WordPress.org community for advice or look for solutions on existing forum threads: https://wordpress.org/support/forums.
