In most cases, you will want to provide a way for members of your site to change or update their member information.
Doing this in MemberGate is quite easy - if you follow these guidelines.
- Very important, the 'change user information' content page MUST be in a members only department. If you have a 'member resource' department, and if that department is a 'members only' department, we suggest you put the change user content page there.
- To create the 'change user information' content page, select the 'add content page' option from your control panel.
- Select a 'members only' department to place this page. The 'change user information' page can only work in a members only department.
- Enter a headline for the page - ie - Change User Login Information
- Enter content for the page - something like:
Use this form to change your email address, username or password.

- Click the 'add content page' button, and then make the page active.
