After making changes, members need to scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes to apply their updates.

โš ๏ธ WARNING: Email addresses can only be changed once every 24 hours. If a member reaches out about not being able to change their email, this is likely why, and they'll need to wait until the 24-hour window has passed.

They'll have two options:

  • Continue via email: Sends a password reset link to their inbox

  8. They may enter the new password and click Save New Password

FAQs

A member updated their profile, but the changes didn't save. What should I tell them?

Ask them to try refreshing the page or restarting their browser. If the issue persists, suggest trying a different browser or device. Make sure they're clicking Save Changes at the bottom of the page after editing.

A member wants to change their email, but it's not working. What's going on?

Email addresses can only be changed once every 24 hours. If the member recently changed it, they'll need to wait before trying again. If they entered the wrong email during signup and can't log in, you can update it from the admin side under People.

Where does the Display Name appear?

The Display Name is shown on Community posts, comments, and Live Chat. The member's Full Name is still used for billing, email communications, and invoices. If a Display Name hasn't been set, the Full Name will appear in the Community instead.

A member is getting an error when saving their Display Name. Why?

Display Names are checked against a basic profanity filter. If the name contains a flagged word, the save will be blocked. Ask them to try a different name. If they believe the filter flagged their name incorrectly, you can update their Display Name from the Manager Area on their behalf.

What happens when a member deletes their account?

All personal information, purchase history, and content access are permanently removed. This action cannot be undone. The member's web subscription will also be canceled.

Can members change their passwords from the mobile app?

Yes, members can reset their password through the mobile app via the Account tab by selecting Sign In and following the password reset process.

What if a member isn't receiving the password reset email?

Ask them to check their spam or junk folder. If the email still isn't there, verify they're using the correct email address. You can also check the member's email under People to confirm it matches.
