How to Log in as a Site Member

If you’ve set up membership for your site, your members will log in through your site in order to access members-only content or contribute to your website. Members enter their email address and are emailed a temporary link to complete logging in.

The login URL will always be your site address plus /a/login, e.g. mysite.com/a/login, which you could provide to your members. However, there are a couple ways you could make this easier.

Enable Login and Signup Buttons

The first method is enabling login and signup buttons in your site navigation. Open the website editor by clicking Edit Site on your dashboard, then click on your header. On the options panel that opens on the side of the editor, expand the Login and Signup options group and toggle on the Show Login and Signup option.

Add a Login Link

If you’d prefer links rather than buttons or only want a login link alone, you can also edit your navigation to add a link. Click on your header while in the website editor, then expand the Navigation options group. Click on Add Link, choose System, then choose Login. Finally, click Save and publish your site again.
