Wix Groups: Customizing Your Group Page
6 min read
Each group you create has its own page where members can interact and engage with each other. Customize this group page to edit its layout, display, placeholder text, and design. For each individual group, you can create a custom tab and edit the existing ones.
Important:
- The group page is a dynamic element. Changes you make to it apply to the group page for every group on your site. This does not apply to content tabs, which are unique to each group.
- Make sure to publish your site after creating a group so the group page appears in the Editor.
