  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hi,

  Can you talk a bit more about what you mean when you say “draft website”? Is it a site that you have built locally on your computer? Or is it one that is built here on WordPress.com and needs to be launched? Or…. something else?

  Hi Rootjosh,

  Yes, it’s a website built with WordPress and would need to be launched.

  Thanks, Ralph

  Hi there, so it sounds like you have a site running the software from https://wordpress.org/

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two very different things https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/ we’re very limited in the help we can offer here.

  With that said, if you’re seeing something about the site not being launched, likely that’s something you’ll need to do through your hosting provider.

  If you let us know the site’s URL, we may be able to offer more specific recommendations.

  Or, if you’re building the site on your computer in a localhost environment, you can transfer it to WordPress.com by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-an-entire-wordpress-site/
