Webview Page

Puts a page you designed into your navigation, looking the way you designed it. Your site renders it, so a page-builder layout keeps its own styling — without your theme’s header, footer or navigation, which an app already has.

Before you start

Plugin	None. WordPress core
Endpoint group	Content — for the page picker in the builder
Also needs	Memberside 2.22 or newer on your site
Plan	Every plan

Add it to your app

1. Drag Webview Page onto a navigation bar, usually the side drawer.
2. Choose the page.
3. Set the tab’s label under Appearance.

Settings

Setting	What it does	Default
Page	Which published page your site renders	None — you must choose one
Padding	Space inside the content, on all four sides	None
Margin	Space outside it, on all four sides	None
Restrictions	Which roles see the tab	Everyone

This feature has no Title or Description. Your site draws the whole screen, including whatever heading the page already carries, so a second heading above it would repeat the first. Use Page when you want the app to own the heading.

Padding and margin

Dropping your theme’s header and footer also drops the wrapper markup that indented your content, so without these the text sits hard against both edges of the screen.

Both are the four-sided box used everywhere else in the builder, in px, em or %. They need Memberside 2.24 or newer on your site; an older plugin ignores them and renders flush.

Padding insets everything, full-width sections included — a hero designed to reach the screen edge will stop short of it. Where that matters, use margin instead, or leave both empty and let the page’s own design carry the spacing.

What your members see

The page, as it appears on your website, minus the parts of it that belong to a website. Your theme’s header, footer, navigation and the admin bar are left out. Everything else loads: the stylesheets, the fonts, the scripts and the page-builder markup.

A signed-in member stays signed in. The app passes a one-time token so the page opens as them, which is what makes a members-only page work here.

Links to your other pages

A link on that page to another page or post on the same site opens the same way — no header, no footer, and the same padding and margin you set here. Following one looks like turning a page rather than leaving for a website. Back steps through the pages the member opened, one at a time, before it leaves the tab.

External links are left alone and open in the tab as they always did, as do mailto: and phone links, in-page jumps such as a table of contents, and download links.

Needs Memberside 2.50 or newer. On an older plugin every link opens with your theme’s header, exactly as it did before.

A link to a category or the blog index still shows your header

This rendering is for one page or post at a time, so an archive — a category, a tag, the blog index, a shop page — arrives with your theme around it. Link to the pages you designed, and use a Posts or Catalogue feature where you want a list the app draws itself.

Which page builders this works with

Most builders keep their output in the page’s content, or produce it while WordPress renders the content. Those work.

Builder	Works	Why
Gutenberg and block themes	Yes	The content lives in the page
Elementor	Yes	It renders while WordPress renders the content
Beaver Builder, WPBakery	Yes	Same
Divi, on a Builder page	Yes	Its layout is stored in the page
Divi Theme Builder templates	Partly	A body template is assigned by rule, not stored on the page, so only the page’s own content comes through
Bricks, Oxygen	No	Both keep the layout elsewhere and render it from their own template

Bricks and Oxygen fall back rather than break

Memberside detects them and stands aside, so the page renders normally — with your theme’s header and footer around it. You get a working page that is not what this feature promises, rather than an empty one.

Webview Page, Page, or Custom Link

Three features can show a page on your site. The difference is who draws it.

	Webview Page	Page	Custom Link
Drawn by	Your site	The app	Your site
Page-builder layout	Kept	Lost	Kept
Site header and footer	Hidden	Not applicable	Shown
Matches your app’s design	No, it matches your website	Yes	No
Speed	A web page load	Faster	A web page load
Best for	Pages where the design is the point	Text your app should own the look of	Anything not on your own site

Turning it off on your site

The rendering only happens when the app asks for it, and it shows nothing a visitor could not already read. To switch it off anyway, in a plugin or your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'memberside_bare_view_enabled', '__return_false' );

Four more filters exist. memberside_bare_view_wrapper_class changes the class on the element wrapping the content, for a theme that scopes its typography to its own wrapper. memberside_bare_view_builder_owns_template tells Memberside about a page builder it has not heard of, so it stands aside for that one too. memberside_bare_view_rewrite_links turns off keeping your own links in this rendering, and memberside_bare_view_rewrite_url decides a single link — return true to adopt a www. alias or a second domain of yours, false to send one page to your full site.

When it does not work

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Your theme’s header and footer appear	Memberside is older than 2.22	Update the plugin
They appear after tapping a link on the page	Memberside is older than 2.50	Update the plugin
They appear on a linked category or blog index	Expected. The rendering is for one page at a time	Link to a page, or use a list feature the app draws
A link to www.yoursite.com opens with your header	A www. address is a different address, so it is treated as somebody else’s	Link without the www., or adopt it with memberside_bare_view_rewrite_url
Header and footer appear on one page only	Bricks or Oxygen built that page	Expected. Use the builder’s own settings, or a different page
The page picker is empty	The Content group is off, or there are no published pages	Enable it, and publish a page
The tab shows your site’s home page	No page is chosen yet	Choose one in the feature’s settings
The content looks unstyled or misaligned	Your theme scopes its CSS to its own content wrapper	Set that wrapper’s class with memberside_bare_view_wrapper_class
A members-only page asks members to sign in	The Account group is off, so the app cannot mint a sign-in token	Enable it
The page is missing after a slug change	Nothing — the app falls back to the page id	Expected. Re-pick the page to refresh the stored link
Nothing loads and the screen stays blank	The page is a draft, private, or was deleted	Publish it, or choose another
