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

Paradigm offers flexibility in managing access to website content for users. Choose between custom Sign In, Sign Up, Subscribe, User Account, and Membership pages for a personalized experience, or streamline the process by using the Ghost Portal.

To fully leverage the membership features in Paradigm, 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 and Account pages, will now trigger the Ghost Portal interface 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, Sign Up, Subscribe, User Account, and Membership pages to avoid the 404 errors.
