Default member notification settings

I am using the Wix members app to password protect a blog page. It is intended to be one-way only blog page - ie. the admin has write access, but general members have read-only access.

Currently, it appears that when a new member gets access to the site, they have to go to profile icon, click on My Account, then click Settings, then click Subscribe under Blog Subscription or order to be notified of new entries in the blog page. A lengthy process for some.

How do I change things so that when a new member joins my site, they automatically subscribe to the blog posts, with the option to unsubscribe?

Also, is there any way to modify the Wix members app forms to remove superfluous items such as “Blog Likes” and “Blog Comments”?

On Member Signup Settings make sure that you have ‘Join the community is checked by default’.

As for removing Blog Likes and Blog Comments, simply go to your Member Pages and on the settings for whatever page you don’t want to see, simply turn on both hide from for ‘Member Menu’ and Login Bar Menu’.
