  If I log out of my account, and enter my website address in my browser search, it takes me to it although it is not launched yet.
  
  In Settings/Site visibility it says “Your site hasn’t been launched yet. It’s private; only you can see it until it is launched.” But logged out of WordPress, I can still access it, which I shouldn’t be able to.
  
  Anyone knows what’s going on with that? I still want my website to be private as I’m still working on it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I can confirm the site is publicly visible from my end, which is unexpected for a site that hasn’t been launched yet. I’ve added the modlook tag so the staff can investigate as soon as possible.

  In the meantime, try clearing both your browser and site cache in case that helps.

  Hope this helps, the staff will be in touch soon!

  Thanks for the reply and for confirming this. Something is definitely off.

  …and the same happens not only with my main browser, Firefox, but with Safari and Chrome too, so it’s more than a browser and site cache issue.

  Hi there, this is what I currently see on your site when logged in and logged out in Firefox

  

  Do you still see your site?

  Hi @bernardguymedia, I see you’ve received a response via email and now your site isn’t visible to the public anymore. To avoid any confusion, I’ll be closing this thread. If you have any questions, feel free to reply to the email we sent.
