Newsletters

Usage

Open Appearance β†’ Customize β†’ Settings β†’ Newsletters and choose how visitors subscribe. Newsletter switches between Mailchimp, Gravity Form, and Page:

  • Mailchimp β€” paste the URL, user, and list values from your Mailchimp embed code (only the marked segments, not the full URL).
  • Gravity Form β€” enter the form ID that collects email sign-ups. Requires Gravity Forms.
  • Page β€” pick a Newsletter Page and set Button Text plus Button Style for a link instead of an inline form.

Footer newsletter copy and visibility live under Footer & Contact β€” turn Show Newsletter on there after you connect a provider here.

When to use it

  • Launching a footer email capture bar on the default footer layouts.
  • Switching from Mailchimp to a Gravity Form (or vice versa) without rebuilding the footer template.
  • Sending sign-ups to a dedicated landing page when the form is too long for the footer strip.

Tips

  • Mailchimp needs all three fields (URL, user, list) before the footer form renders β€” incomplete values show a setup reminder in the preview.
  • Gravity Form ID is the same number you use when embedding that form on a page or in the pop-up.
  • Button Style options match theme button presets β€” Understated is the default arrow submit on Mailchimp forms.
  • Pair with Pop-up β†’ Content when you want the same list inside a modal instead of (or in addition to) the footer.
