Wix Groups: Designing Your Group


The Wix Groups app adds two group-related pages to your site. The Groups page shows all your groups and posts together. The Group page is for each separate group.


You can change how these pages look by editing the layout, text, pictures, tab names and more.


You can also design add-ons like the Groups Cards, the Groups List, and the Groups Feed and place them on any of your site's pages.

Notes:


  • The group page is a dynamic element. Changes you make to it apply to the group page for every group on your site. This does not apply to content tabs, which are unique to each group.

  • Make sure to add and set up Wix Groups so you can follow the steps in this article.

  • Publish your site after creating your group so the group page appears in your editor.



Customizing your Group page


Your Group page uses the same layout and design for each individual group. Customize the design that's used by each group on this page. You can customize the group page from your editor, the Wix app, or while logged in as an admin on the live site.
