Wix Blog: Adding Profile Pages for Your Blog Writers
5 min read
When you add Wix Blog to your site, you can choose to also add a Member's Area if you don't already have one. A Member's Area lets your site members access features including the ability to login, create a public profile, and comment on blog posts. Learn more about the Member's Area
You can also use a Member's Area to create dedicated profile pages for your Blog Writers to help your readers get to know them. You can customize the information that's displayed on the profile pages such as name, bio, image, and recent posts that they've written.
Before you start, you need to:
- Add Wix Blog to your site
- Add a Member's Area if your site doesn't have one
Step 1 | Select who has profile pages
You can choose to let only site members who you have set as Blog Writers or as managed writers have profile pages on your site, or let every member have a profile page. Select your preferred option in the Member Pages settings on your site's Editor.

Step 2 | Customize your Blog Writers' profiles
Each profile page for your Blog Writers can include information such as their display name, title, an About section, and any recent posts that they have written. You can customize your own profile on your live site or your dashboard, and customize the profiles of your writers in your dashboard.
