We've moved subscription providers to give our readers the best possible experience. As part of this change, you will no longer need a password to log in. To log in, while on The Western Journal, click the “Login” button found on the top right header of the page. Then enter your email address in the pop-up login window. You should receive an email with a link; click the link to log in to your account. You can also use your Google or Facebook account to login if that’s what you were using previously.
Membership charges for current and new subscribers will appear on your card or bank statement as “WesternJournal” or "WJ Membership".

Before purchasing a membership, you can login and create a free account or log in to your existing one. Just click the “Log In” button in the header of any page (on mobile, this can be found in the sections tab indicated by the “☰” icon). Once you’re logged in, you can upgrade your account by visiting westernjournal.com/subscribe. After upgrading, you’ll continue to use the same account to access your ad-free reading experience across all your favorite devices. If you're already logged in, the “Log In” button will appear as “Manage.” Click it to view your account and update your payment method.

Our ad-free* memberships are separate from newsletter emails from The Western Journal. It is free to join The Western Journal newsletter and does not require any payment or login. If you don’t want to pay for a membership, you can still subscribe to our free newsletter here. If you are already subscribed to the newsletter, you will continue to receive emails as you normally would.

The ad-free* experience can be accessed by logging into an account with any paid membership level while reading WJ. Articles marked ‘Premium’ are unlocked for you as a paid subscriber!

You can cancel your membership to The Western Journal at any time. First, log in to your account. Next, click the “Manage” button on the header of the website to view your account information. You should see a section that shows your current subscriptions where you can cancel it. Cancellations will be effective at the end of your current billing period. Should you have any trouble attempting to cancel please message us at support@westernjournal.com or go to Contact Us and select 'Question about my Western Journal Subscription".

First, log in to your account. Once logged in, there will be a “Manage” button on the header of www.westernjournal.com.

Simply click + Add payment method, enter your new payment info, and click the Add button. Once that is done, click the three dots next to your old payment method and then click Delete.

Yes. Because these are two separate platforms, the login you use to comment on articles is separate from the ad-free* membership login. To purchase a new ad-free* membership, you will need to create an account to complete the transaction. You can still sign up for our commenting widget without having to purchase a membership.

This means that even when logged in, video ads served from third party players, outside of The Western Journal's control, may still appear. Additionally, highly native "Site-Takeover" content may still appear. Periodically, we may introduce new features or benefits, the continuation of which is not guaranteed, and these additions may include advertising. WJ Games are not part of the ad-free* experience.

Please refresh the current page and the ads should disappear. If you continue to see ads, please contact us at support@westernjournal.com for further help.
