Add mail opt in on wordpress side bar

To add a mail opt-in form on your WordPress sidebar, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Install and activate a plugin

You'll need a plugin to create and manage your opt-in form. I recommend using "MailChimp for WordPress" or "OptinMonster". Both plugins are popular and easy to use.

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Plugins" > "Add New".
  2. Search for "MailChimp for WordPress" or "OptinMonster" and click "Install Now".
  3. Activate the plugin.

Step 2: Create a MailChimp list

If you're using MailChimp, you'll need to create a list to store your subscribers. Log in to your MailChimp account and follow these steps:

  1. Go to "Lists" > "Create a List".
  2. Enter a list name, description, and any other required information.
  3. Click "Save" to create the list.

Step 3: Create an opt-in form

Now, you'll need to create an opt-in form using your plugin. Here's how:

MailChimp for WordPress:

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "MailChimp" > "Forms".
  2. Click "Create a Form" and select "Sidebar" as the form location.
  3. Choose the MailChimp list you created earlier.
  4. Customize the form settings as needed (e.g., form title, description, fields).
  5. Click "Save" to create the form.

OptinMonster:

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "OptinMonster" > "Forms".
  2. Click "Create a Form" and select "Sidebar" as the form location.
  3. Choose the MailChimp list you created earlier.
  4. Customize the form settings as needed (e.g., form title, description, fields).
  5. Click "Save" to create the form.

Step 4: Add the opt-in form to your sidebar

Now, you'll need to add the opt-in form to your WordPress sidebar. Here's how:

MailChimp for WordPress:

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Appearance" > "Widgets".
  2. Drag and drop the "MailChimp Form" widget to your sidebar.
  3. Configure the widget settings as needed (e.g., form title, description).
  4. Click "Save" to add the widget to your sidebar.

OptinMonster:

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Appearance" > "Widgets".
  2. Drag and drop the "OptinMonster Form" widget to your sidebar.
  3. Configure the widget settings as needed (e.g., form title, description).
  4. Click "Save" to add the widget to your sidebar.

That's it! Your mail opt-in form should now be displayed in your WordPress sidebar.
