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.
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Plugins" > "Add New".
- Search for "MailChimp for WordPress" or "OptinMonster" and click "Install Now".
- 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:
- Go to "Lists" > "Create a List".
- Enter a list name, description, and any other required information.
- 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:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "MailChimp" > "Forms".
- Click "Create a Form" and select "Sidebar" as the form location.
- Choose the MailChimp list you created earlier.
- Customize the form settings as needed (e.g., form title, description, fields).
- Click "Save" to create the form.
OptinMonster:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "OptinMonster" > "Forms".
- Click "Create a Form" and select "Sidebar" as the form location.
- Choose the MailChimp list you created earlier.
- Customize the form settings as needed (e.g., form title, description, fields).
- 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:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Appearance" > "Widgets".
- Drag and drop the "MailChimp Form" widget to your sidebar.
- Configure the widget settings as needed (e.g., form title, description).
- Click "Save" to add the widget to your sidebar.
OptinMonster:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Appearance" > "Widgets".
- Drag and drop the "OptinMonster Form" widget to your sidebar.
- Configure the widget settings as needed (e.g., form title, description).
- 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.
