Newsletter sign up form on wordpress

Question

I've installed for the first time civiCRM.. and he is great... I have a wordpress website so I was wonderind what is the correct procedure to set up a newsletter subscription form. Thank you

Answer 1

Essentially you want to display a form on your wordpress that takes in the personal details (name, email address) of your subscriber. these details will be fed into the civicrm on your wordpress and where the civimail module will pick up to send the newsletter to.

In quicksteps: 1. Create Profile (under Admin) 2. Select the fields required for this profile, these are fields that will appear in the subscription form 3. Expose the profile in the wordpress page (refer How do I expose CiviCRM forms in WordPress?)

You can refer to this website on setting up the form on wordpress in details: https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/integration/wordpress/forms/

Answer 2

The other way is to make the Groups 'public' and then provide navigation to a link to civicrm/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/mailing/subscribe&reset=1
