Preview a page as a member
This guide shows you how to see a page exactly as a specific audience will — a signed-out visitor, a prospective member, or a member of a particular level. It’s the best way to catch a gated-content surprise before you publish.
Who can do this: Admins with the Web Editor role (the website:edit permission).
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Open the page you want to preview in the editor.
- If you want to check who sees which sections, set up your audience rules first — see Restrict a page or section to members.
- In the page editor, select Preview.
- Under View as, choose the audience you want to check:
- Anonymous — a signed-out visitor.
- Prospective member — someone who hasn’t joined yet.
- Member of a level — then pick the level under Membership level.
- Look over the page. Members-only sections show the way that audience would see them — either the join prompt or a teaser, never the full gated content.
- Select Exit preview to return to editing.
Verify
Section titled “Verify”You’ll know it worked when the canvas switches to a read-only view under a “Previewing as…” bar, and any gated block shows its teaser or join prompt for an audience that shouldn’t see it. That confirms your gating is set up correctly before the page goes live.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”- A members-only section shows its full content in preview — you’re likely previewing as a member who has access. Switch View as to Anonymous or Prospective member to check what non-members see.
- The preview won’t load — close it and try again. If it keeps failing, your page may still be loading; give it a moment.
