We have a client, an author, who is adding a blog to her site. Her blog will include general posts as well as short fiction. She’d like to limit access to the short fiction to people willing to give her their email addresses.
It’s my understanding that we can limit access to members – but that limit would apply to all blog posts – we can’t pick and choose. It’s also my understanding that we could use subscriptions to limit access to specific posts; however, subscriptions (even free ones) seem like an over-complicated hack.
Are there other options (or have I perhaps misunderstood the options mentioned above)?
Steven, thanks. As I understand it, this enables me to control access to the blog as a whole, but not to pick and choose specific posts – making some of them public and limiting others to members-only. Do I misunderstand?
@jim75924 hi! As you probably already know, members-only pages are pages that visitors need to sign up for in order to get access.
What your client can do is create a “short fiction” category in her blog, add a members only page, then add a post list (allows you to showcase posts from any page on your site) on that page. This will allow only members who have signed up (providing their email address) to access the short fiction posts.
You can learn more more about displaying different blog categories on different pages here .
Hope this helps! 
@stevenjose Steven, thanks! This is exactly what we need. I was aware of both capabilities (member pages and post lists). I don’t know why I didn’t put the two together as a solution.
@jim75924 glad I could help! 
If anyone else lands here because they want a blog for member’s only, this is not a secure solution. Even if blog posts are hidden from the list, anyone can see all posts by going to /blog.
This is unacceptable if you’re trying to give any sensitive information to members only.
When you go to the blog page permissions and set that page for members only, then Wix automatically prompts login if the person is not logged in when they land on that page.
It is most definitely secure. You can do this for any page.
