Question:
Hi! I’m confused about the member blog capabilities. I clicked Member Manage Pages and added the My Posts page that says “Let members create their own posts and drafts”. When I log in as a member, I get the Blog Posts (My Posts) page, but when I click Create Post, it takes me to We Couldn’t Find This Page. (See screenshot)
My goal was to have each member be able to create their own personal blog on my website (and then share it if they want to).
So you want members to be able to write their own blog posts which they can publish on your site. For that, you will have to manually mark members as blog writers for them to get the necessary permissions for adding their own blogs.
Oh, OK. I was hoping that each member would automatically be given the capability to keep their own blog. I see that you can mark members as blog writers to give them permission, but I believe you are limited to 10 with the standard Business Plan and even “only” 100 with the top-line plan.
Do you have any ideas for a workaround to still give each member this kind of blog writing experience? Where they could write their own blog and share it on the website so other people can see it too?
I would suggest that you explore other apps such as Wix Groups or Wix Forum and see if that fulfils your needs. Else you can try designing a completely custom blog built on top of the Wix CMS, but that will be quite challenging, time consuming and will probably involve a good amount of custom code.
