Troubleshooting: Removing the Coming Soon Page in Betheme

Many users of BeTheme find themselves frustrated when they can’t seem to remove the “Coming Soon” page from their site, even after taking steps to disable it. This post aims to clarify the issue and share insights based on user experiences.

Understanding the Problem

When a website is under construction or in development, it’s common to use a “Coming Soon” or “Maintenance Mode” plugin. A user named cyhubbard reported difficulties after using the SeedProd plugin, which he disabled, deactivated, and deleted. Despite these efforts, the “Coming Soon” page remained visible, leading him to wonder if the issue was related to BeTheme’s structure rather than the plugin itself.

Finding a Solution

After some investigation, cyhubbard discovered that the persistent page was actually a part of the BeTheme settings. By navigating to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Pages > Under Construction, he was able to turn off the feature and finally remove the “Coming Soon” page. His experience highlights a common issue: sometimes, theme settings can override plugins.
