Please have someone explain to me what a private members page is for if the member cannot do anything on that page.
There is no tool for uploading photos or videos, and the tools for that cannot be embedded in the private page.
This doesn't make sense to me.

Hey,
This page is a private page - meaning it is only for the member to see it, this page can be used to create private content for members in your Members Area, it can be used to share content such as forms, updates, or whatever you wish. This is highly recommended for use with Wix Data. You can follow this article for some more ideas - https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-custom-member-profile-pages I would be happy to schedule a short call with you in order to understand your needs and hear some of your feedback. If you’re interested please add your contact information here. I hope it helps 😀.
