Why Your SeedProd Coming Soon Page Isn't Showing (And How to Fix It)
Content
You've installed the 'Website Builder by SeedProd — Theme Builder, Landing Page Builder, Coming Soon Page, Maintenance Mode' plugin, designed a beautiful coming soon page, and activated it. But when you visit your website... nothing has changed. Your regular WordPress site is still visible to the world. This is one of the most common frustrations users encounter, but the solution is often simple.
Why This Happens
Based on community reports, this issue typically occurs for one of a few key reasons:
- You Are Logged In: The plugin is designed to show the coming soon page only to visitors who are not logged into your WordPress site. This allows you, the site administrator, to continue working on your site while the public sees the "Coming Soon" message.
- A Hosting "Coming Soon" Page is Active: Many web hosts (like those using Mojo Marketplace) install their own default "Coming Soon" or "Holding" page when you first purchase hosting. This host-level page will override any plugin, including SeedProd's.
- Incorrect Page Assignment: If you created a Landing Page instead of using the dedicated "Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode" feature, you may need to manually set that page as your homepage in WordPress settings.
- A Cached Version of Your Site: Your browser or a caching plugin on your site might be serving an old, saved version of your homepage.
How to Troubleshoot and Fix the Issue
1. Test While Logged Out
The first and most crucial step is to view your site as a visitor would. Log out of your WordPress dashboard completely, or simply open your website in an incognito/private browsing window. In most cases, you will immediately see your SeedProd coming soon page. If you see it while logged out but not while logged in, the plugin is working correctly.
2. Disable Your Host's Default Coming Soon Page
If you still see a generic placeholder page or a message from your host (like Mojo Marketplace) even when logged out, you need to disable it. This process varies by host but often involves logging into your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel) and looking for a "Coming Soon," "Holding Page," or "Site Publisher" feature to disable. The 'Website Builder by SeedProd — Theme Builder, Landing Page Builder, Coming Soon Page, Maintenance Mode' team has a guide on disabling the Mojo Marketplace page which is a common culprit.
3. Check Your Page Assignment
Ensure you have activated the correct mode. Navigate to SeedProd > Coming Soon / Maintenance Mode in your WordPress admin and confirm that "Coming Soon Mode" is toggled to "Active". If you built a standalone Landing Page and want that to be your public-facing homepage, you may need to deactivate the Coming Soon mode and instead set your Landing Page as a static homepage under WordPress Settings > Reading.
4. Clear All Caches
Clear your browser's cache and cookies. If you use a caching plugin or your host provides server-level caching, be sure to clear those caches as well. This ensures everyone is seeing the most recent version of your site.
5. Verify the Correct Template is Published
If your page appears but is blank (white), double-check that you have published the correct template. After selecting and editing a template from the SeedProd library, you must save and publish it. Then, ensure that this specific design is the one assigned to your active Coming Soon page.
By methodically working through these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and have your Coming Soon page display correctly for your visitors.
