Creating a newsletter form in WordPress is a relatively simple process. First, create a new theme or plugin and add the following code to your functions.php file:
function myNewsletterForm() {
$form = new WP_Newsletter_Form();
$form->set_title(‘Newsletter Form’);
$form->add_element(‘name’, ‘Name’);
$form->add_element(’email’, ‘Email Address’);
$form->add_element(‘message’, ‘Your Message’);
return $form;
}
Now, add the following line to your theme’s header.php file: Next, add the following line to your theme’s footer.php file: Finally, add the following line to your theme’s main() function: function myTheme() { register_activation_hook( ‘blogger’, array( &$this, ‘activate’ ) ); } Now you’re ready to create your newsletter form! To get started, first create a new blog post. In the post’s content area, add the following HTML code:
Upon submitting the post, your newsletter form will appear in the post’s comments area. You can now configure the form’s fields as you see fit. For example, you might want to include a field for subscribers to enter their email addresses so that you can send them updates about your blog posts. To do so, simply modify the code above as follows:
Finally, you’ll need to create a subscriber list.
To do so, go to your blog’s Settings page and select Subscription Options from the left-hand menu. In the Subscription Options area, under Subscribed Blogs, click Add New Subscriber. Enter a name for your subscriber list and click Save. Your newsletter form will now include a field for subscribers to enter their email addresses. Whenever someone submits a blog post with an email address entered in the “Email Address” field, WordPress will automatically subscribe that person to your newsletter list. You’re now ready to send out newsletters! To do so, simply click on the “Send Newsletter” button on your form and fill in all of the necessary information. Congratulations! You’ve created a functional newsletter form in WordPress!.
