# Setting Up

The Members feature allows you to turn any site into a membership business with member signup, paid subscriptions and email newsletters.

**Digital Nomad** offers flexibility in managing access to website content for users. Choose between custom [**Sign In**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/sign-in-page.md), [**Sign Up**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/sign-up-page.md), [**Subscribe**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/subscribe-page.md), [**User** **Account**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/account-page.md)**,** and [**Membership**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/membership-page.md) **pages** for a personalized experience, or streamline the process by using the **Ghost Portal**.

To fully leverage the membership features in Digital Nomad, users can opt to utilize the integrated Ghost Portal for streamlined access management, providing an out-of-the-box solution for sign in, sign up, subscribe, user account, and membership management. Alternatively, for those seeking a more tailored approach, custom pages for each of these functions can be created, offering flexibility to match your site's unique design and user experience requirements.

### To use Ghost Portal interface:

* Go to **Settings > Portal settings** from the admin menu
* Go to **Look & feel** tab
* Toggle the **Show portal button** to the ON position.

When activating the **Ghost Portal** interface by **showing portal button**, links (that built into the theme) located in the header, mobile menu, and other navigation elements of your site, which traditionally directed users to custom [**Sign In**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/sign-in-page.md) and [**Account**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/account-page.md) pages, will now trigger the [**Ghost Portal interface**](https://ghost.org/help/customize-portal/) instead.

### To use custom pages:

* Go to **Settings > Portal settings** from the admin menu
* Go to **Look & feel** tab
* Toggle the **Show portal button** to the OFF position.

**If you want to use custom pages for members feature**, you need to create the [**Sign In**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/sign-in-page.md), [**Sign Up**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/sign-up-page.md), [**Subscribe**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/subscribe-page.md), [**User** **Account**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/account-page.md)**,** and [**Membership**](/digital-nomad-user-documentation/membership/membership-page.md) pages to avoid the **404 errors.**
