Wix.com". Below you'll find step-by-step instructions to resolving this challenge.
[edit]Summary
Most current versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox contain built in pop-up blockers.

links to Wix.com that open in separate windows.

2. Select “Options…”
3. Select “Content”
4. Click “Exceptions” opposite “Block pop-up windows”
5. Type “www.Wix.com” and click “Allow”
6. Click “Close” to close Allowed Sites - Popups
7. Click “OK” to close Options
From now on, you will be able to use Wix.com.
Note: In the Mac OS X version of Firefox, you need to select Preferences on the Firefox menu, instead of
Options on the Tools menu.
If you see the pop up when logging in your editor, simply click on "Options":

[edit]Steps for Google Chrome
If you want to disable the Google Chrome pop-up blocker please follow this link .

Click on "Windows" on the left side.

[edit]Clear Browser's Cache
1. Close every instance of the browser currently running. Please make sure that no instance of the
browser is left in memory.

blank tab.

Chrome). Then:
a. In Internet Explorer: Make sure that "Temporary Internet Files" is checked in the dialog. Then click
"Delete".

make sure that, of the available checkboxes, "Cache" is checked. Then click "Clean new".
c. In Chrome: make sure that the "Clear data from this period" combo-box is set to "Everything". This is
vital. Also make sure that, of the available checkboxes, "Empty the cache" is checked. Then click "Clear
