Subscribe form replaced with simple email entry

[fanlokbun]

Hi
I have set up a mailchimp newsletter. I want to change the subscribe dropdown to a simple email entry box like used on this site http://www.celticandco.co.uk/. How would I go about this in Neighbourhood theme?
Thanks

Hi

In Mailchimp just create a form with only an email field, then copy the embed code

Thanks for the speedy response Kyle. Sorry I meant not in a dropdown but embedded in the page (like on http://www.celticandco.co.uk). If I just copy the form code from mailchimp won’t it still be a dropdown?

No of course not, the dropdown is created in that section only

I’m sorry Kyle you will have to bare with me as I am a new convert to WordPress and Neighbourhood theme (Excellent by the way) and still finding my feet.

The simpelest code I can get from mailchimp is below:

<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="//rahandco.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=000000000000000000amp;id=00000000000" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
	
<div class="mc-field-group">
	<label for="mce-EMAIL">Email Address </label>
	<input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL">
</div>
	<div id="mce-responses" class="clear">
		<div class="response" id="mce-error-response" style="display:none"></div>
		<div class="response" id="mce-success-response" style="display:none"></div>
	</div>    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->
    <div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;"><input type="text" name="00000000000000000000000000000" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
    <div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
</form>
</div>

<!--End mc_embed_signup-->

I have tried using just the form field but I am still getting the dropdown. What should I extract from the above code to just get the email entry field and title without the dropdown.

Many thanks

Apologies, I thought you meant you wanted to add it somewhere else (not in the header)

Using the subscribe area in the header will present a drop down, if you want to change that I’m afraid you will need to hire a developer
