In this video we’ll show you how to create a members only page, add a member login button and manage and approve your site members.
Make pages on your site that are for members only and require a login and password for access. For example, if you’re a teacher, you may want to create an area on your site just for your students, where you can share worksheets and test materials.
Once you have site members, you can easily manage them in your Wix Account. Keep in mind that Members Only pages will not appear in Google, so they won’t show up in search results.
How to create a members only page
Go to the Pages Menu located in the top left corner.
Choose the page you want, click the circle icon on the right and select Permissions.
Pick Members Only. Then click Member signup settings HERE.
There are two ways people can become a site member. They can sign up to join instantly or wait for your approval.
Decide if you want people to first sign up or log in. You can switch this at any time.
Next, you can allow people to log in using their social accounts. Click here to enable Google+ and click here to enable Facebook. When you’re ready, click Done.
Hit Publish to make it live. Click view site to try your Members Only page.
Now, go to your Members Only Page.
This is how your sign up page will look.
And this is how your log in page will look.
How to add a Member Login button
Once you create a members only page, give people an easy way to log in or out by adding a members login button
On the left, click Add and choose More.
Underneath Site Login Buttons, choose Member Login HERE.
Drag it onto your Header so it will appear at the top of all your pages.
Click on your Member Login Button to see what you can do. You can get more information about Restricting Pages, view settings, customize, and animate. If you need any help, hit the question mark.
To customize the way your button looks, click Design.
Here you can choose the color, font and size.
Click Preview to try out your new login button.
Click on Login/Sign Up to see how it works.
When members are logged in, they’ll see their email in place of the button.
How to manage and approve your site members
First, go to your Wix account.
Every time you get a new site member, you’ll receive an email and notification in the top right of your account.
Look for the bell icon HERE.
To manage your site members click on your notification or go to Contacts.
Here you can manage all your contacts,
Customers, Site Members and more.
When you select a Site Member you can create invoices, Block users, send newsletters, delete a site member or add them to a group.
If you chose to approve all your site members, their requests will appear here under Requests. Select the contact and click Approve or Block.
Site members you approve will get an email letting them know.

Now you’re ready.
