Sign Me Up
This plugin is a widget that adds a simple sign-up form to your WordPress site, allowing visitors to subscribe to your mailing list. It serves as a front end to phpList, the most popular open-source newsletter manager (over 1.5 million downloads according to their website). The widget connects to phpList via AJAX, which allows a visitor to subscribe without leaving your WordPress page – no refresh or redirect is necessary.
Features:
- Add a simple “sign-up to our newsletter” form to your WordPress site
- Provides a back-end connection to the powerful open-source mailing list manager, phpList
- Maintains the consistent look, feel, and branding of your WordPress site
- Uses AJAX – no page refresh or redirects. Status & feedback are displayed on the same page as the form
- Minimal, elegant, simple. Seamlessly blends in with your theme by incorporating existing styling rules
- Easy customization – change the text of each form element so it says exactly what you want
- Widgetized – easily add it to your site via drag & drop
- Error checking – client side validation via popular jQuery Validation library provides immediate feedback to the user and reduces erroneous data

Hỏi đáp
- Do I need to use phpList?
-
Yes, this plugin specifically designed to use phpList as the mailing list manager to store the email adresses
- Will it work with other mailing list services such as MailChimp?
-
No, this plugin will not work with MailChimp or other mailing list services. It is designed as a free open-source alternative to these paid services. So, instead it works with phpList.
- Can I add additional fields for the user to fill out, such as Name?
-
Unfortunately, no. Currently there is no provision in the AJAX code in phpList to parse these additional parameters. As a workaround,
it is possible to request for these fields (Name, Zip Code, etc) in any of the confirmation emails sent by phpList, or have
the user update their profile with these additional details. - Can I use more than one Sign Me Up widget?
-
You can only have one widget per WordPress page. But, you can setup multiple widgets that each reside on a different page of your website. For example, one widget on the “Contact Us” page, a different widget on the “Latest News” page, etc. This allows you to customize the message of the signup form to whatever content you are displaying on that page.
- How do I customize the response message?
-
The messages for a successful response can be customized via the Subscribe Page in phpList. Unfortunately, the error messages and failed submission messages cannot be customized.
- Can I use the hosted version of phpList?
-
Yes, this should work with no issues. Just make sure that you enable cross-domain AJAX first. For more detailed instructions, see Cross-Domains.
- Can phpList and WordPress live on different domains or subdomains?
-
Yes. Again, just make sure that you have enabled cross-domain AJAX. For more detailed instructions, see Cross-Domains.
- I get the following error: “Unfortunately a network error occurred. Please try again. If this problem persists, please contact the webmaster.”
-
This could be due to a number of issues:
- Cross-domain issues, see Cross-Domains
- WWW-prefix issues, see WWW-prefix
- Old incompatible versions of phpList or WordPress, see Requirements
