Can't open the Wix editor or Wix templates? It's likely because you have to "allow pop-ups from Wix.com". Below you'll find step-by-step instructions to resolving this challenge.

Most current versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox contain built in pop-up blockers.
As many of the features in Wix.com feature pop-ups or automatically open a new browser you will need to allow pop-ups from Wix.com.
Don't worry. It's simple to fix. Just follow the steps below.

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":

Click on "Windows" on the left side.
Select "Open all pop-ups" in the Pop-ups list.
Click "OK" on the bottom.

1. Close every instance of the browser currently running. Please make sure that no instance of the browser is left in memory.

2. Open the browser on a blank page. If your browser's-homepage is Wix, close this tab and open a new blank tab.

a. In Internet Explorer: Make sure that "Temporary Internet Files" is checked in the dialog. Then click "Delete".
b. In FireFox: make sure that the "Time range to clear" combo-box is set to "Everything". This is vital. Also make sure that, of the available checkboxes, "Cache" is checked. Then click "Clean now".
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 browsing data".
