    How does search and privacy work within Wix forums.

    in Forum Discussions

    I'm looking to get my local club on board with allowing me to create a new web site on Wix and incorporate a Wix Forums page. Looking to have about 4 forums based on different topic areas and I have two questions:

    1) Can the forum landing page showing the 4 forums to join be public, but the forums themselves be private until they become a member?

    2) Can members of a forum search for specific posts, or follow them so they don't lose the string of posts?


    Thanks

    Sue

    Perfect! thanks. I just wanted to get my facts correct as I'm selling them the idea at our next meeting. :)

    Regarding 1. What specifically are you wanting, if it's for the page, e.g. wix-forum-community.com/forum to be public, but then the other pages such as wix-forum-community.com/forum-discussions to be members only it's possible.


    Optional: Control who can view a category.

    Regarding 2. Users can search for posts using the searchbar in the top right corner. Users can follow posts (to receive email notifications and have updates displayed on the notifications page) using the follow button on the right hand side of the post, or from the 3 dots on the top of the post.
