Publish to UiChemy Sites
Put your AI Website Creator project live as a real WordPress site on uichemysites.com in a few minutes, with no hosting or plugin setup.
Publish sandbox puts your design online as a real WordPress site at an address like your-site.uichemysites.com. UiChemy creates the WordPress site, installs what it needs, and imports your pages for you. You get a live link to share and a WordPress admin where you can keep editing in Elementor.
Publish sandbox is in Beta. It is enabled for signed-in users, provided UiChemy hosting is configured on the server.

Why It Matters
- Live in minutes: no hosting account, no plugin upload, no WordPress install.
- A real WordPress site: your pages land as editable Elementor pages, so you can keep working in WordPress after you publish.
- Easy to update: made changes in the Design Editor? Click Update site and your live pages refresh.
Use Cases
- Showing a client a working site before you buy hosting or set up their WordPress.
- Testing a design on real devices with a link you can open on any phone or laptop.
- Getting started without WordPress experience: publish first, then learn the WordPress admin at your own pace.
Publish Your Site
Open Publish
In the Design Editor, click Publish in the top-right corner. It unlocks once your design is at least 70% generated. See The Publish Panel.
Choose Publish sandbox
Keep WordPress selected, then click Start on Publish sandbox ("Live on uichemysites.com in about 3 minutes."). The Publish sandbox screen opens: "Put your site online in one click. No plugin, no hosting setup."
Pick your site address
Under Site address, type the first part of your address. UiChemy suggests one from your project name and checks it as you type. When it's free you'll see "your-site.uichemysites.com is available". If it's taken or reserved, click the suggestion after Try.
Choose your pages
Under Pages, every generated page is ticked. Untick any page you want to leave out. The counter shows how many are selected and how many are generated. Pages that aren't generated yet are listed under "Not generated yet, so not published".
Publish
Click Publish. A progress list shows Saving your latest changes, Preparing your pages, Setting up your site, and Publishing pages. Keep the window open. When it finishes, you'll see Your site is live.
Your site address can't be changed after the first publish. Pick it carefully.
Publish as
Under Publish as, WordPress site ("Edit it later in WordPress and Elementor.") is the option to use. Astro site is marked Coming soon here. For an Astro site today, use the Astro card in the Publish panel instead. See Deploy to Cloudflare or Download an Astro Project.
Manage Your Live Site
To manage your site later, click Publish, then Start on Publish sandbox. The panel opens on Your site is live, with how many pages are live and when you last published. You'll see your live address with a copy button, plus:
| Row | Button | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress admin | Edit in WordPress | Opens your site's WordPress admin, already signed in. |
| WordPress login | Get login details | Shows the Login URL, Username, and a new Password, each with a copy button. |
| Unpublish site | Unpublish | Asks "Take the site offline?". Click Unpublish to confirm or Keep to cancel. |
At the bottom, click View site to open it in a new tab.
Copy and save the password right away. UiChemy doesn't keep it, and a new password is created each time you click Get login details.
Want to give a teammate or client access? Sign in to WordPress, then go to Users → Add New so they get their own login.
Update Your Site
Make your changes
Edit your design in the Design Editor as usual.
Open your site's panel
Click Publish, then Start on Publish sandbox.
Update
Click Update site at the bottom. The Update your site screen opens with your pages. Check the ones to publish, then click Update site again. Updates usually take 1 to 2 minutes.
If the publish finished with warnings, they appear in a yellow note at the bottom of the site's panel.
Unpublish
Unpublishing deletes the WordPress site. The address stops working and is freed for anyone to use. Your design stays in UiChemy, so you can publish again any time.
You can unpublish from the site's panel (Unpublish site) or from Published Sites (see below).
Your Published Sites
Open the account menu, click Account Settings, then Published Sites in the left sidebar. It lists "Sites UiChemy hosts for you on uichemysites.com", with a counter such as "1 of 3 sites used". Each site shows its status, its address, and when it was last published.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Live | The site is online. |
| Setting up | UiChemy is still creating the site. |
| Not published | The site exists but isn't online. |
| Failed | Setting up the site didn't work. The reason is shown next to it. |
Actions on each site:
- Open project: jumps to the project's Design Editor.
- WordPress admin: opens the site's WordPress admin.
- Unpublish: click it, then Delete site to confirm, or Cancel.
Limits
- One site per project. Publishing a project again updates its existing site.
- Sites follow your project limit. You can have as many published sites as projects your plan allows. When all are in use, unpublish one to publish another.
- Signed-in accounts only. If you're trying UiChemy as a guest, you'll be asked to sign up before you can publish.
When Something Goes Wrong
If a publish fails, the panel explains what happened and what to do, with Try again and Close buttons. Common messages:
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| That address is taken | Pick another site name. |
| That address can't be used | Use 3-63 lowercase letters, numbers or dashes. |
| You've reached your site limit | Unpublish one of your sites, or upgrade your plan. |
| Your site is still starting | Give it a minute, then try again. |
| Your pages couldn't be prepared | Save your latest edits and try again. |
| Nothing to publish yet | Generate at least one page first. |
| "Your latest changes could not be saved" | Check your connection and try again. |
