Setting up a Members Area

Site Members: About the Member Tabs and Pages

This article refers to the new version of the Members Area app which is not available to all users yet. If you're using the previous version, read the information here. Click here to check which version you're using.

Your site's Members Area can include different kinds of tabs and pages, based on your needs.

Some tabs are automatically added to your Members Area based on the apps you're using, like My Orders for Wix Stores. Other tabs are available for you to add, like the public Profile tab. In addition, you can create private member pages with your own content.

Did you know?

The Members Area comes with 2 types of menus: the Member Menu (on the Member Page), and the Login Bar Menu. Both show member tabs, but only the Login Bar Menu shows private member pages.

Private tabs

These are tabs that would usually include every member's personal info. Nobody else, including other members, can see each other's private tabs.

By default, your members get private My Account, Notifications and Settings tabs where they can manage their profile and update their personal details.

Additionally, some Wix apps include private tabs where members can securely manage their activity. For example, if you've added Wix Stores, your members can see a My Orders tab with a list of current and past orders. Since this is a private tab, members only see their own orders.

Public tabs

Public tabs are visible to any site member. Each member gets their own tab, but it's public and accessible to other members. This is a great way to grow your community by getting members to interact with each other.

Some Wix apps include public tabs where members see each other's activity. For example, if you've added a social app like Wix Blog, every member gets a Profile tab where they can share details about themselves and get to know other members.

Custom private pages

Create your own private pages with exclusive content for members. You can design the page as you like with the elements and content you need. These pages are automatically added to the Login Bar Menu for easy access.

FAQs

Click a question below to learn more about tabs and pages in the Members Area.

What's the difference between member tabs and member pages?

The member tabs are all part of the same site page – the Member Page. This is the first page members see after logging in. The private member pages you create are separate site pages, additional to the Member Page.

The differences that members see as they browse their account:

  • Private member pages don't show the Member Menu element, it only appears on the Member Page.

  • Private member pages only appear on the Login Bar Menu, while the Member Menu only shows tabs.

Why do some tabs not appear on the menu?

Some tabs are hidden from the Member Menu as site members access them from a different place.

For example, the "Followers" tab appears under each member's profile, allowing other members to see their followers list. Since the tab is individual to every member, it does not appear on the general menu.

Can I re-add a tab I previously deleted?

Yes. If you remove a tab from the Member Menu, you can re-add it at any time from the Manage and Navigate panel.
