Newsletters

Usage

Open Appearance → Customize → Settings → Newsletters and choose how visitors sign up. Newsletter switches between Mailchimp, Gravity Form, and Page:

• Mailchimp: copy the URL, User, and List values from your Mailchimp embed code. Paste only the highlighted part shown under each field, not the whole link.
• Gravity Form: enter the ID of the form that collects email sign-ups. Requires Gravity Forms.
• Page: pick a Newsletter Page, then set the Button Text and Button Style for a button that links to it.

The footer newsletter area is turned on under Footer & Contact → Appearance with Show Newsletter.

When to use it

• Adding an email sign-up to the footer.
• Switching from Mailchimp to a Gravity Form (or back) without rebuilding the footer.
• Sending visitors to a separate sign-up page when the form is too long for the footer.

Tips

• Mailchimp needs all three fields before the footer form appears. Until then, the preview shows a setup reminder.
• Gravity Form ID is the same number you use to add that form to a page or the pop-up.
• Understated is the default Button Style for the Mailchimp submit button.
• To collect sign-ups in the pop-up as well, set a Gravity Form ID under Pop-up → Content.
