Unlocking the Power of Wix Forums: Your Guide to Building an Online Community in 2025

Online communities are thriving in 2025, and for website owners in the USA and UK, Wix forums offer a seamless way to connect with visitors, spark discussions, and boost engagement. Whether you’re a small business owner, a blogger, or a hobbyist, adding a Wix forum to your site can transform it into a lively hub where ideas flow freely. This guide dives into everything you need to know about Wix forums—from setup to customization—and how to leverage them effectively. Plus, we’ll explore platforms that enhance your forum experience and help you grow your audience.

Wix, known for its user-friendly website builder, includes a powerful forum app that’s perfect for fostering interaction. Curious about how to get started or why it’s worth your time? Let’s break it down with practical tips, platform insights, and a clear path to success.

Why Wix Forums Matter in 2025

In an era where engagement drives traffic, Wix forums stand out as a tool to keep visitors coming back. They’re not just discussion boards—they’re community builders. Here’s why they’re a game-changer:

Boost Engagement: Visitors who post or comment are invested in your site.

SEO Benefits: Fresh, user-generated content signals activity to Google, potentially lifting your rankings.

Community Loyalty: A space for like-minded people (e.g., gardeners sharing tips) fosters a sense of belonging.

For UK and USA users, where online interaction is a cultural staple—think Reddit’s popularity or the BBC’s comment sections—Wix forums tap into a ready audience. Whether you’re troubleshooting Velo code or debating the best luxury wallet, a forum fits any niche.

Getting Started with Wix Forums

Setting up a forum on Wix is straightforward, even if you’re new to web design. Here’s how to do it:

Add the Forum App In your Wix Editor, click “Add Apps” on the left, search for “Wix Forum,” and hit “Add to Site.” Instantly, two pages appear: the Forum Page (where posts live) and the Members Page (for community interaction).

Customize Categories From your dashboard, go to “Forum,” then “Categories.” Add topics like “General Chat” or “Tech Tips.” Customize headers with colors, images, and descriptions (max 65 characters) to reflect your brand.

Post Your First Thread Click “Create New Post” in the Forum settings. Write a welcoming message—say, “Join our Wix forums UK community!”—and pin it to the top for visibility.

Set Permissions Decide who can post: everyone, members only, or owners. Guests can read and like, members can comment, and you (the owner) can manage it all.

It’s that simple. Within minutes, your site has a buzzing forum ready to grow.

Top Tips for Running a Successful Wix Forum

1. Encourage Participation (Informational Intent)

Ask open-ended questions like “What’s your favorite Wix feature?” to spark replies. Share how-to guides—e.g., “How to use Wix forums for beginners”—to draw in curious users.

2. Customize for Appeal (Transactional Intent)

Tweak fonts, button colors, and layouts via the “Design” tab. A sleek look keeps users browsing longer—think a crisp blue banner for a UK tech forum or a bold red for a USA lifestyle one.

3. Monetize with Paid Categories (Commercial Intent)

Wix lets you lock premium content behind a paywall. Offer exclusive “Wix forum subscriptions” for tutorials or insider tips—perfect for entrepreneurs.

4. Moderate Smartly (Navigational Intent)

Pin key threads (e.g., “Wix forums login help”) and delete spam. Use the Wix mobile app to manage on the go—search “Wix app forum settings” in the App Store.

5. Leverage SEO (Informational Intent)

Sprinkle keywords like “best Wix forum tips” or “Wix forums USA guide” in posts and titles. User-generated content naturally boosts organic reach.

So I'm not much of a reviewer, but I'm thinking of offering to check out people's commissions websites that would like feedback on if they should improve anything with it

I would do my best to not be biased based on my personal preferences. For example, I'm not a huge fan of minimalism, but I know it can make or break the look of something, so I would keep that bias out of my advice

I'm not going to critique blog themes, just simple websites and businesses/freelancers

heh-the anon who said i js sent my first ask and now this is my second!!!!

ok so....is there anything from the 2K event YOU want to write/expand on? like smt YOU wanna do.....cause this is me telling u to do it <3

i love everything youve written so far and i think you should write smt that you kinda wanna do....if that makes sense....not saying ur not happy abt ALL of the asks-i can tell u love ur readers-but js, smt you want to do yk?

this is SO sweet of you my dearest anon, thank you so so much<33 hahaha it's silly but you make me feel seen, thank you for daring to send asks! proud of you. in general, i want to write more drabbles for the valkyries, but i've also had magical!dealer!remus on my mind lately, so that's what we're going for !

✶・•・✦・•・✶・✶・•・✦・•・✶

i will EXPLAIN magical!dealer!remus

carina's 2k celebration

✶・•・✦・•・✶・✶・•・✦・•・✶

cw: kind of drugs but it's mostly magical, systemic injustice, wizarding war without casualties

remus who can't get a stable job seemingly anywhere in the wizarding world because he's a registered lycanthrope

despite the fact that he essentially helped save the entire wizarding world with the rest of his friends – most of which were offered honorary positions in the ministry for their efforts

not remus

he was dirt poor, burnt out and pessimistic about life and institutions

james and sirius tried to various extents to help support him financially, but he would not accept it unless he physically had to

he lived with sirius without paying rent but tried his best not to think about it – especially because after the war he couldn't really stand being away from his friends

still:

"i'm not your charity case, prongs, you have a kid to look after"

"i don't want you to use me to pay off your sins sirius"

"i can take care of myself"

i think he would angrily say "fuck this shit" for a while and work in a muggle bookshop in london while

and maybe he would even enjoy the reprieve

but he would quickly feel isolated

in the wizarding world, he feels that he is not fully understood because he's a werewolf, but in the muggle world he has to even hide the fact that he's a wizard

he winds up applying to random jobs in wizarding london again, everything from shopkeeps and waitressing to pharmacies

throughout his life, remus has used a lot of different medications, ranging from potions to muggle medication to various ~herbs for pain relief

and at hogwarts he always made sure he did as well as physically possible to "make up" for being otherwise highly unemployable

he particularly excelled in DADA, potions and herbology, for obvious reasons

at some point when struggling to pay for the super overprized ingredients he need for the next full moon at an official apothecary that had rejected his application weeks prior, i think a bulb would go off in his head

he would more or less run home to sirius and they would have this conversation:

"if i were to start a business, would you sponsor me?"

"i've been trying to shove money down your throat for years moons, you already know this"

"would you be willing to get your money dirty?"

".... go on"

remus pitches this: he opens a "chocolate store" on the outskirts of diagon alley to serve as a front for him dealing various magical and non-magical herbs, potions, medication, drugs. etc.

everything and anything that unconventional wix could need to get through life that's hard to access

whether that be other werewolves, other "half-breeds", those with permanent magical injuries/conditions that the ministry ignores, those with ptsd from the war, etc.

you need to show registrations or prescriptions to get most lycanthropy potions, pain remedies, etc. which makes it hard to get for anyone flying under the radar or too poor for medical documents

not with remus – anyone can come in and ask for anything

thus, a form of dealership

his intentions are 1) be anti-establishment and say f u to the minister 2) supply the people with what they need without the hellish and discriminatory bureaucracy of the ministry

(unless kingsley becomes the minister in this au, in which he would begin working on the problems from the inside while turning a blind eye to remus' endeavors)

i think remus would also have a designated section for helping treat addiction of different sorts

his pitch stretched on for forever but sirius was with him from essentially his first word

"hold up, i need to rope james into this"

james immediately suggests that the front store should be called "moony's delights"

"... i'll think about it"

the front store would serve as a regular chocolate shop to the average bypasser, so there would often be children stopping by getting chocolate

remus would sell regular chocolate – that i imagine marylily help bring to life – to regular customers

but his real services were to the non-regular wix, for which he's got stacks on stacks of alternative chocolates, in addition to his shelves upon shelves of ingredients and potions

i imagine remus fetches most of the ingredients and brews most of the potions himself, utilising all his expertise

for once, he allows his friends to join in because in his mind they're not just helping him but also the greater good

lily becomes his partner who helps with both chocolates and potions

molly prewett/weasley grows some of the herbs lol

sirius and james supply both any legal patents they need to put down to get a shop and then they preemptively set up a team of top notch lawyers for protection

by the time remus gets around to this, one of the best educated lawyers is their dearest order-member emmeline vance who is more than happy to help out

i believe frank longbottom could be her apprentice

the order of the phoenix remained close friends and kept an "it takes a village" mentality to everything, whether that be getting friends back on their feet or raising the little baby phoenixs

(because they fought way too hard to keep this village to not utilise it to its fullest extent)

it takes a while to get the shop up and running efficiently, of course

at first it's something you need to have heard about from a friend, but as it surges in popularity, more and more wix know where they need to go if they need a fix of any kind

within the "underworld" of the wizarding society, i believe word spread the fastest

and perhaps the knowledge that "moony's delights" sold potions and herbs specifically for various "half breeds" may be contained to just this underworld

while more everyday wix know that they can get general pain relief or help chilling the fuck out

there are so many reader insert ideas i have within this au that could be requested

customer!reader would be fun, but so would business partner!reader who is brought in by lily or emmeline and eventually falls in love with remus

in general i think little punk remus lupin would 100% open a semi-secret dealership while the marauders and co protect him

Every time I see your Draco I AUTOMATICALLY think of the worm on a string 😭

THEM

Ah yes, Draco's Animagus form 😌

Fun fact: These are toys from the 70's called "Squirmles" and I headcanon that they're a magical creature that Wix made toys of, and they somehow made it into the Muggle world.

Because they feed on magic, Squirmle Secretion is an ingredient commonly found in most Magic Replenishing Potions✨️

[bunabi]

Do you have a website you'd recommend for portfolios?

Oddly enough: carrd.co

The second-tier plan has all you need — gallery, forms, custom domain support, analytics — and the site-builder is simple

It would cost me around $30 per year to host eriart.net with Carrd, compared to the $50 I pay annually hosting via Wordpress, the $147 Weebly wanted me to pay after eliminating standard plans, and the $204 the complete freaks at Wix are charging people

I'll probably switch over to it before my renewal period

[marsdemo]

We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!” Many of the prohibitively long lists going viral on social media do the exact opposite of this strategic and impactful approach. They include hundreds of companies, many without credible evidence of their connection to Israel’s regime of oppression against Palestinians, making them ineffective.

Consumer boycott targets - The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands carefully selected due to the company's proven record of complicity in Israeli apartheid. (Siemens, Puma, Carrefour, AXA, Hewlett Packard (HP), SodaStream, Ahava, RE/MAX, Israeli produce in your supermarkets)

Divestment targets - The BDS movement is pressuring governments, institutions and investment funds to exclude and divest from as many complicit companies as practical, especially weapons manufacturers, banks, and companies listed in the UN database of business involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise, as well as the WhoProfits and AFSC Investigate databases of companies enabling the occupation. Below we give some of the targets we are campaigning against. (Elbit Systems, HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB, Barclays, CAF, Chevron, HikVision, TKH Security)

Pressure (non-boycott) targets - The BDS movement actively calls for pressure campaigns against these brands and services due to their complicity in Israeli apartheid. We have not, on strategic grounds, called for a boycott of these brands and services, instead we strategically call on supporters and institutions to mount other forms of pressure on them until they end their complicity in Israeli apartheid. (Google and Amazon, Airbnb/Booking/Expedia, Disney)

Organic boycott targets - The BDS movement did not initiate these grassroots boycott campaigns but is in support of them due to these brands openly supporting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. (McDonald's, Burger King, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, WIX, etc)

Last Line Tag

Got tagged twice so I'm playing twice~

So for the tag from @redroomroaving here's part of the next Raphael x Haarlep Prequel series, The Scent of Cinnamon

“Ar—” the insulting nickname dissolved on the tip of their tongue, hardly befitting the form rendered from raw might that was slowly creeping towards them, “Raphael?...”

The game should be to tag as many people as there are words, but unfortunately that requires far more memory capacity than I'm capable of, especially with a line this long... 26 people? If you're not tagged in, and want to be, I'm tagging you now (or let me know in a comment and I'll tag you in the future!)

Slytherin and Parsel

Parseltongue, Parselscript, and Parselrune are all languages that regular wixen can learn. It takes time and effort, as learning most languages does, and they’ll always have an accent/trouble pronouncing some words because human vocals aren’t really made to speak Parsel. In fact, in many countries outside of the UK, where snakes and Parsel doesn’t have a bad rep, it’s taught as a second language course, like French and Spanish are. Many Indian and African countries have Parselspeakers. However, being a Parselmouth is different. Parselmouth is an inherent ability to speak and understand all forms of Parsel, and rarely the ability to cast in it. It’s similar to Metamorphmagus in that it’s a family trait, given by family magic. Aside from instant comprehension, Parselmouths anatomy has slight changes that allow for proper pronunciation. In this AU, Parselmouths were introduced into the Slytherin bloodline via a Naga ancestor (half human, half snake). This allowed the Parselmouth trait to become integrated in the family magic, along with the chance for more snake-like or naga traits to appear. For example, if a member of the line is a Parselmouth, they also have a high chance of having fangs, slitted pupils, secondary eyelids, preference to heat over cold, an enhanced sense of smell and olfactory nodes on their tongue, etc etc.

It’s rare for a member of the Slytherin line to have many of these traits, and they often instead have one or two. This is primarily because of the decline of the bloodline through inbreeding and witch hunts. The last person to have all of these traits (and more), was Salazar Slytherin’s granddaughter, Edel, who was the mother of the squib twins that would become ancestors to Charlie and Harry. I imagine on top of the traits previously listed, she would also have scale patches dotting her legs—a callback to the naga roots— a higher propensity for multiple births (homage to snakes and their clutches), and a tiny nub of a snake tail.

I think it would be very fun if Charlie was able to smell magic; some wix can sense magic if they have a high enough sensitivity for it, but that sense tends to be visual or tactile. Charlie’s ability to smell would be a direct relation to her Slytherin bloodline. She can do the thing snakes do, and open her mouth the catch the scents on her tongue. This ability only increased in potency once she claimed Lordship — the family magic enhanced her snake like traits. In a similar vein, I think that once Charlie claimed Harry as family, and named him as Heir, he gained a better sense of smell (but not to the point of smelling magic). His eyes probably got more bright, more Slytherin green, and maybe his bones/joints became a little bit looser to allow for better feats of agility. He probably also got some other traits, but I’m not sure which ones I want to commit to. I think it’d be really funny if he could unhinge his jaw. Just as a little treat.

[mountmortar]

anyways if any of you WANT a different social media to go to if/when tumblr blows up then i would highly recommend you pillowfort for the closest experience to tumblr (with some differences of course it IS its own thing) and tentatively recommend you bluesky (which has its own problems but it's not unusable like twitter is) for the closest experience to twitter. dreamwidth is good if you like long-form writing and not a lot of action (so it may not be as popular with younger folk) and is probably the most immortal and rock-solid site out there right now. of course there's making your own website (with hosting services like neocities, nekoweb, and more) and getting involved in that circle (which is where you'll find links to lots of different forums if forums are your thing) if you're interested in that, but if you don't want to/can't learn html/css (and don't want to use website layouts made by others, of which there are a LOT) then some drag-and-drop website builders that aren't wix include straw.page and mmm.page. this isn't meant to sound overwhelming but rather just give you options if you want them! but whatever you do. for the love of god. i cannot stress this enough. do NOT touch cohost with a ten-foot pole
