How can I disable the 'Make profile public' option

I want to have the Wix Blog on my site but I do not wish to have all my members to be able to post content. I wish to have this controlled by my site’s Blog editors but want to leverage all other features of Wix Blog. I am able to do this as I wanted except for the ‘Make profile public’ button and the community page URL that shows up on the Member area. These elements only show up when you add ‘Wix Blog’ to your site.

This is bit of an annoyance as it is not the purpose of my site to have that as an option and there doesn’t seem to be an option to disable this from the member card component’s settings.

As a workaround I had hid these elements behind a container box which serves the purpose. The problem now though is that the ‘Save’ option in the Member card component gets hidden behind the container box and so my users can’t update their profile pic or username.

I am aware certain elements and components are proprietery and can’t completely change its functionality. I am hoping someone might have an idea for a better (more elegant) work around for me to be able hide this from my site members? Please help.

You might want to ask about this in the blog community forum and see if anyone there has any ideas.

Thank you for that. I have posted it there now.
