  2. Choose what you want to update:

    • Publish status: View whether your site is published or not. Click Unpublish to remove your site from appearing online. You can publish from the Wix Vibe Editor.

    • Site name & SEO: Edit your site name or go to your SEO settings to customize how your site appears in search results.

    • Wix site address (URL): View the URL of your live site and click custom domain to connect your own domain.

    • Favicon: Upload or replace the favicon, which is the small icon that appears in browser tabs and bookmarks.

    • General social image: Set the default og:image (Open Graph image) used when your site is shared on social networks. It can take time for Facebook to update the image. Learn how to use the Facebook debugger.

    • Facebook username: Enter your Facebook username so links and previews can reference your official page.

    • Site history: Review and restore previous versions of your site if you need to roll back changes.

Wix Headless


  1. Go to Website Settings in your site’s dashboard.

  2. Choose what you want to update:

    • Project name: Edit your project name to make is easy to find in your dashboard.

    • Wix pages domain: Change the last part of your Wix domain or connect your own custom domain.

      Note: When visitors are redirected to a Wix-hosted page (such as login or checkout), the web address they see is based on your Wix domain. Edit the domain path to better match your brand, or upgrade to use your own domain throughout the user experience.

    • Favicon: Upload or replace the favicon, which is the small icon that appears in browser tabs and bookmarks.

      Note: This is especially important if visitors are redirected to a Wix-hosted page. Without updating the favicon, visitors see the Wix logo, so we recommend uploading your own favicon or upgrading to keep your branding consistent.

  3. Click Save.
