How to customize Subscribe By Email form?

Hey,

2 Questions:

1. How can i customize the subscribe form? (like your example – which is red?)

2. How can i place the subscription form anywhere in my site? and not use the widget on the sidebar?

Thanks

    Hello again @gilad,

    1. How can i customize the subscribe form? (like your example – which is red?)

    You will have to write some custom CSS to change that on your theme… If you provide a link to a page on your site where the form is visible we can help you do that.

    2. How can i place the subscription form anywhere in my site? and not use the widget on the sidebar?

    I haven’t tested this, but perhaps this plugin will do the trick for you: http://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,

    Ari.

    Thanks for thereply Ari.

    I figured out how to customize the form through the CSS, and i’ll check the plugin. Thanks for that.

    Now i have a question regarding testing mails.

    I subscribed with my own email, and chose not to recieve a confirmation mail, but i did recieve one. why is that?

    also, i had a schedule for sending all the posts from the last 24 hours (so i can see exactly how it looks with content from my site, and not the ‘test content’:wink: but i never recieved any mail. why is that?

    Thank you

    I subscribed with my own email, and chose not to recieve a confirmation mail, but i did recieve one. why is that?

    If I’m not mistaken administrators do get the notifications.

    Could you please try this with a different email address?

    also, i had a schedule for sending all the posts from the last 24 hours (so i can see exactly how it looks with content from my site, and not the ‘test content’:wink: but i never recieved any mail. why is that?

    Have there been any new posts in the past 24 hours?

    Do you by any change have any sort of aggressive caching on your site?

    Please advise,

    Ari.

    Hey Ari,

    I have a new problem.

    Today every user got 3 identical emails. Why is that?

    I did change the default 80 mails every 30 minutes to 210 mails every 30 minutes. Is it possible that was the problem?

    Thanks You,

    Gilad

    The plugin sends out every mail 3 times.

    Either the daily mail with posts from last 24 hours (every subscriber recieves the same mail 3 times), or notifications about new subscribers and/or removed subscribers (i also get them 3 times).

    when sending a test mail, i recieved it once. tests works fine. but every other mail does not.
