Subscribe forms - Verba

Header and footer

A signup form can go anywhere text or a block goes. The places it can go in Verba are the same for every service; only the source of the form changes.

#With Mailchimp

The Mailchimp integration draws the form itself and talks to Mailchimp directly, so you don't need a forms plugin, a newsletter plugin, and a third plugin to connect them. It installs from the theme dashboard and needs the Pro plugin with an active license. See Installing and managing plugin integrations.

Connecting your account, the fields, the wording, and the four ways to place the form (block, shortcode, widget, Elementor widget) are all covered in Mailchimp integration.

#With another service

Mailchimp isn't required, and this route works in the free theme too.

Your service has a WordPress plugin. Almost all of them provide a form shortcode. Put it in the call to action above the footer with Action type set to Shortcode, or in a zone on the Content Zones tab of AppearanceCustomizeVerba ThemePages.

Your service gives you form code. The content zones take it as rich text. With Pro, two more places open up: a modal window through the Modals integration, and the injected blocks inside a post. See Content zones and insertions.

#Where to put it

The call to action above the footer, a content zone, or the sidebar and footer widget areas. Two signup boxes on one page look like a site that wants your address more than it wants to be read.

A subscribe form collects personal data. Handle consent and link your privacy policy from near the form. See Cookie consent and GDPR.

Contact forms are a different job with a different integration. See Contact Form 7 integration.
