Setting up a Members Area

Site Members: Adding a Profile Page to Your Members Area

Give your site members their own personal profile, where they can express who they are to your online community. Members can customize their profile to show a description they wrote about themselves, images, videos and more.

Tip:

When using social apps (e.g. Wix Blog, Wix Forum, Fileshare), the Profile page is automatically added to your site. You can check if it already exists in the Pages panel.

Adding the Profile page to the Members Area

If the Profile page isn't already part of your Members Area, you can add it directly from the Pages panel in your Editor.

You can also add and remove tabs right from your editor. Click the Member Page element in the editor and click Manage Member Pages to add and remove tabs from your Member Menu.
