Member websites allow you to create exclusive content for different communities. Here's how to customize their experience:

Member Homepage Customization

The member homepage serves as the landing page for your member website and appears in:

  • Confirmation emails
  • Welcome emails
  • Member account menu

To set a different page as homepage:

  1. Open "Pages" menu
  2. Find your member website
  3. Click "..." on the desired page
  4. Select "Set as Member Homepage"
  5. Confirm your choice

Navigation Options

Choose from these navigation styles:

  • Replace primary navigation (default) - Shows member navigation when logged in
  • Show in account menu - Displays pages under the Account menu
  • Hide navigation - Allows custom navigation on homepage

Checkout Customization

Create custom payment forms to:

  • Collect member information
  • Get feedback
  • Display terms of service

Note: Free member websites don't show payment forms.

Email Notifications

Customize these automated emails:

  • Welcome email
  • Cancellation email
  • Account-related emails
  • Opt-in confirmation (for free memberships)

Paywall Settings

Member website content is protected behind a paywall. Visitors see the paywall when:

  • Not logged into their account
  • Not subscribed to the membership

Design Options

Customize your member pages using:

  • Style adjustments
  • Design menu options
  • Custom navigation layouts

For deleted homepages, the first listed page becomes the new homepage automatically. If no pages exist, members will see a 404 error.

All member websites share the same navigation style - individual styling isn't possible.
