Member profile pages

With the Members Area installed on your site, site visitors can view each members profile page. In addition, they can see their public blog activities (posts they've written, comments they've made, etc.).

Public member pages

The following blog pages are public and can be viewed by any site visitor:
  • Profile
  • Blog Posts
  • Blog Comments
  • Blog Likes

Private member pages

Some pages are private, meaning that each member can view their own pages, but other members do not have access:
  • My Drafts
  • My Account
  • Notifications
  • Settings

Site's with member-only pages

When a site visitor logs in, they are logged in to all parts of your site. Some parts of your site have their own special member sections. For example, if you have Wix Stores on your site, customers can log in and access their "My Orders" page, where they can view store orders.
