Content-gated websites offer exclusive access to your content through a membership system. Here's how to set up and manage member sites effectively:

Creating a Member Site

1. Enable Member Sites:

• Open Member Sites panel
• Toggle Member Sites switch on
• Note: Some templates have this pre-enabled

2. Add Your Member Site:

• Navigate to Pages panel
• Click + icon next to Member Sites section
• Name your member site
• Set pricing (recurring subscription, fixed amount, or free)
• Click Done

Adding Content to Member Sites

1. Create Members-Only Pages:

• Open Pages panel
• Select your member site
• Click Add Page
• Choose layout
• Enter page title

2. Move Existing Pages:

• Drag and drop pages into member site
• Note: Can't move course/video pages already in pricing plans
• Duplicate pages for multiple member sites

Managing Access

1. Protect Your Content:

• Pages automatically hidden from search engines
• Non-members see paywall
• Create sign-up page with digital product blocks
• Add preview content using summary blocks

2. Pricing Options:

• Set up recurring subscriptions
• Offer one-time payments
• Provide free membership options
• Customize pricing plans anytime

Important Considerations

1. Navigation:

• Add external links to member navigation
• Consider page limits for better navigation
• Create custom member navigation for large sites

2. Content Security:

• Member sites exclude SEO options
• Pages removed from site map
• Consider additional content protection measures

3. Deletion Process:

• Notify members before deletion
• Pricing plans remain active
• Pages become unrestricted
• Members retain account access

Remember to add your member site to a pricing plan to avoid paywall errors and regularly update your content to maintain member engagement.
