Wix Blog: Setting Member Profile Privacy When Signing Up
3 min read
The Wix Blog works together with the Members Area to give exclusive features to signed in members. When you add the Members Area to your site, anyone visiting can sign up as a member (you can require manual approval if you don't want to let everyone in).
Signed in members gain access to members-only pages. If you limit your blog page to members only, only signed in members will be able to access it. However, the Members Area offers an additional feature to blog readers when they signup to your site with a public profile.
When members agree to a public profile they can engage with other members by commenting on blog posts, following posts and more. In addition, their profile appears on your Members Area page and other members can see them there.
Setting member profile privacy when signing up
When a site visitor clicks the "Sign Up" button on your site, they reach the Sign Up window. Here, they can automatically become part of your site's community by selecting the "Sign up to this site with a public profile" checkbox.
You have the option to enable all new members with public profiles when they sign up, or offer the checkbox to give your new members the option to choose if they want a public profile or not.
To set member privacy when signing up:
Wix Editor
Studio Editor
- Click Pages & Menu
on the left side of the Editor. - Click Signup & Login.
- Select Member Signup Form (Default).
- Select the Social & Community tab.
- Select an option under Signup privacy footnote customization:
- Footnote only: Members signup with a public profile: Members profiles are automatically public.
- Checkbox for members to choose profile privacy on signup: Members can select or deselect the checkbox to allow their profile to be public.
- Enable the Sign up to this site with a public profile toggle.
