Email Subscriptions

[imawake]

Hi,

Just switched our site to wp and your theme has been amazing! Our new site has merged our blog with our store and I am wondering how best to implement a blog subscription widget on our blog post pages so that new users can be notified via email of a new post. This feature was a widget in our previous wp.com blog, but I don’t see anything like that in this theme. Is there a plugin you recommend that does this/integrates well with Neighborhood?

Thanks for your help,

Hi,
Please install Mailchimp newsletter plugin . This plugin provide short-code for signup form so you can put this code at Header through Admin -> Theme Options -> Header Options and Footer through footer widget . Hope that will help you sure .

Hi

You could add an RSS widget in the sidebar. If you have a search I’m sure you will find one 🙂

Thanks Mohammad and Kyle, for your quick responses. I’m not sure which Mailchimp plugin it is. There are many when I search and none specifically called newsletter. I am looking for something that when someone enters their email address, they will then automatically be sent our new blog posts via email. In the “Users” section I can add new users as subscribers, but this requires that someone enter a username and password, which is not as easy as just filling in their email. Is there a way to become a subscriber without creating a username and password?

We do use mailchimp for our newsletters, but that is separate from our blog so I’m not sure how that would work, except to add a checkbox for blog subscription and then manually enter them as users (subscribers) on our site.

Hope this makes sense.

For people to get blog notifications, that is RSS. So you will need to find an RSS plugin that suits you
