What You Need
- A self-hosted WordPress website. My area of expertise is gradually becoming WordPress. I know almost nothing about Wix and the other alternatives to WordPress.
- Mailchimp Account. FREE is good. At least for starters.
- A code embed plugin. Install and activate it on your site. Complete the necessary settings. What I use is the INSERT HEADERS AND FOOTERS PLUGIN.
I don’t touch my Theme Editor. In fact, I don’t even go near it.
Similarly, I believe you too would want to keep your site far far away from any wahala.
Next. Follow the order here. Keep moving from one to the next.
- Go to your Mailchimp Account
- Audience
- Manage Audience
- Signup Forms
- Embedded Forms
- Choose Form Type. *Please note. CLASSIC is normal. CONDENSED is best for your Sidebar. HORIZONTAL is best for your Footer. I honestly think UNSTYLED is ugly. But it’s your preferences we are talking about here. So please yourself. You can click on each option and view what it looks like.
- Copy and Paste Code. Unless you know what you’re doing toying with code and your theme editor, I strongly advise that you paste your code inside the plugin field I mentioned earlier.
That’s all. Now you know how to embed a Mailchimp signup form in WordPress. You can refresh your website’s frontend to see the result.
