Wix Blog: Adding a Login Bar to Your Blog
6 min read
Site visitors get more out of your blog when they log in with the help of a login bar.
Anyone who comes to your site can read, like, and share blog posts, but to follow and comment on posts, visitors need to sign up, become members, and join the community. Additionally, you and other writers need to log in to write blog posts on your live site.
In this article, learn more about:
Adding a Members Area that comes with a login bar
When you add the Wix Members Area to your site, visitors can log in and gain access to all members pages, including special pages for Wix Blog, Wix Stores, and Wix Bookings. Learn More
Adding the Members Area also adds a page to your site where blog members can view, follow, and access each others' profile. If you want the Members area, but without this page, you can hide it.
To add the Members Area to your site:
Wix Editor
Studio Editor
- Click Add Apps
on the left side of the Editor. - Enter "Members Area" or "Wix Members Area" in the search bar.
- Select the Wix Members Area app.
- Click Add to Site.
Adding a blog login bar
In addition - or instead of - the Members Area login bar, you can add a standalone blog login bar which appears next to your blog menu.
Like the Members Area login bar, it grants visitors access to all members-only pages and blog pages, but not to special pages for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, etc. In addition, it doesn't add a separate members page to your site.
To add a blog login bar:
Wix Editor
Studio Editor
- Click your blog feed in the Editor
- Click Settings.
- Click the Display tab.
- Click Blog Menu.
- Click to enable the Login from blog menu toggle.
Tip:
To edit the login button design, click the blog in the Editor, click Settings, and in the Design tab, select Blog Menu
Customizing your login settings
You can customize your login settings to display sign up/log in first, allow social logins from Google or Facebook, and display links to your terms of use.
To customize your login settings
Wix Editor
Studio Editor
- Click Pages
on the left side of the Editor. - Click Signup & Login.
- Click Member Signup Form (Default).
- Go through the tabs one by one to set up the signup form:
