Wordpress is Wix’s biggest competitor. They have all of the features we need, but they cost a lot. I support Wix. We need to add on features quickly, though.
These are the top features I can think of:
Verified Members
Private messaging between users
After clicking on a post/category, and going back to the page, go to the SAME place you left off
Allow users to make friends
Tagging users like this @username
Wix Forum Ads REMOVED with the purchase of premium where it says ’remove wix ads’ because currently it’s not accurate or true.
Different Ranks, customisable in name and badge design/ style etc
Display Online Users
Customise the category style, rather than massive shapes
Profile % complete
The ability to add a free bot that automatically deletes any posts with inappropriate media
The ability to stop authors of a post from deleting any comments (its about freedom of speech)
Ability to see which users visit your profile (with or without notifications)
A better username and profile system!!!!!! Currently there are 3 different profile pages, and it makes it awkward for users to navigate and simply change their profile! There is clicking on their profile picture to take them to their profile, the members area and clicking above the log out button ’my profile’ Just create one profile page which is easy to use and appears from all links to it!
Username displayed on your screen should be the same as your username
Unique Usernames
Users should be able to make groups (private messaging groups, not just involving 2 people)
If you agree with these, feel free to drop a comment and like! Lets show Wix what we need! If you think I’ve missed something, lets help out Wix and add it here! Keep it on one post!
Dr Yannick please stop posting the website url for your website, you do this in so many of your posts it is like spam.I do not care about your website I care about mine and want WIX to improve the forum that is why we are all here. thanks
I have Private messaging on my website ... please check how is working ...
it's working good ... very good ...
Hope these features come fast
Nice, thanks Rafi!
Once I can share more info, I'll do it :)
Agreed john
It would at least be nice to know when some of these features are coming out so that we can make preparations and plans for our sites.
I completely agree with everything here, Rafi please give us an update!
Hopefully these features will come out relatively soon...
ETA on current features please? Private messaging is needed fast
I love you <3
This is a very competitive list and hopefully Wix will pay attention to all of it!
Most of us are using Wix as a stepping stone to then move to other platforms simply because of two reasons - the list of features mentioned here and speed!
