Hi Wix Forum Community 👋
How are you? Here’s a summary of the recently released features.
Interact with members using polls
Create a poll by asking a question, customizing the answers and then let people vote. Polls can be fun for your members to take part in, and informative for you or your business.
Will you use polls?
- Yes, I'll be using polls in my forum
- No I don't need them right now
Customize the new post button
Now you can change the text of the button used to create a post to whatever you like. You can add emojis too. Different categories can have different new post buttons. This helps you customize your forum to suit your site.
New navigation
Forum tabs give navigation a makeover! Jump into categories, all posts, or just the posts you’ve created using the new tab navigation. We’d love to get your feedback on this feature as it’s really going to change the way people experience moving around discussions in the forum.
Visitor mode for branded app
Wix recently launched the App Builder, for building your own mobile app with your own branding. Before members had to log in to access any part of the branded app, but now your members can browse the forum and won’t be asked to login until they want to interact in the posts and comments.
Increased the number of posts
We’ve upped the number of posts displayed on a single page from 20 to 30 posts for more scrolling pleasure.
See forum posts in a member's profile on the app
Just like on the web now you can go into a member's profile and see the posts they've created.
As always, let us know what you think. Until next time, happy forum-ing everyone!
So we love the new "categories" updates - it makes the forum infinitely easier to navigate for those of us with a lot of categories. The 'breadcrumbs' scrolling version was buggy, difficult to differentiate between main and subcategories, and took forever to scroll. Just wanted to contradict the naysayers above and say you should absolutely keep this feature - it's just so much more functional!!
Sorry if I annoy, but my comment was ignored and I am still waiting to find the answer. @Greta Galubauskaitė do you have an answer? (comment copied below) Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for the new toys, WIX team!!
@Fi — you mentioned this (quoted) and I have a question below it
QUESTION: I have the tabs already in one of my forums (where I can see all of my own posts), but will I be able to have all of a member’s posts visible soon, too, like you say in the post here? Because I am still only getting about 20 of their posts to view. We are a mentoring forum and being able to access earlier posts by a member to be more helpful to them is something I have been waiting for for so long! ;oD … please tell me it is coming, too!
Aha :) Thank you Kate!
@John they have changed the format a bit but it works similarly, From within the post, you see under the title, is written: in bla category and that is a link back to the category. You can also go to all categories above.
Quick fix? Did something happend @Kate Bradshaw - WebToday Sydney Australia?
Any breadcrums somewhere?
Wow @Greta Galubauskaitė and @Eglė Kažytė thank you so much for the quick fix! You are both so awesome!! Koala hugs to you from Australia! <3
NO NO NO NO. I need the breadcrums!
Working on a big project and made an index with link to all pages. We need the abillity to go back to index after working on a page!
Dont mess with this please?
The categories on the right is also gone? Why? Why do you mess with the best parts of Wix forum? Not a good idea!
If you absolutely must change something, go ahead and change the world, not wix ;)
Does anybody know of an APP to use for getting breadcrums back?
Thanks
John
