Hello! I am looking into getting the subscribe form functioning on the footer.

The first field and button was on the demo page and doesn't seem to work. The second one is pasted from another support ticket and seems to work but I don't get the email. I put in my email address the form.php file and my mailchimp api / list in subscribe.php file . Can you see what I have done wrong?

Hello,

Thanks for your Kind Patience!

Consider using the following code instead replacing the existing codes:
[ch_pre]






Subscribe

[/ch_pre]

and also please use only the include/subscribe.php File where you add your Mailchimp API key and List ID. If you would like to receive the responses of the Subscribe Form to your Email, then simply replace the action Attribute of the `` with this: action="include/subscribe-email.php" and then add your Email Address inside.

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Hello sir, Thanks for your response, I had followed this tip from another ticket.

if( !empty( $merge_vars ) ) { $data['merge_fields'] = $merge_vars; }
and replace it with:

$data['merge_fields'] = $merge_vars;

Reverted back to default and it works!

How do i get the confirmation message to show up on a standard looking page? https://robertburdick.com/macro/

When I use a different demo template it shows the message on the page nicely like here https://robertburdick.com/macro/demo-interior-design.html

Hello,

Glad this was resolved.

For the Subscription Forms to work correctly, the js/jquery.js, js/plugins.min.js and the js/functions.js Files should be included at the bottom of the Page just as the Default Templates provided with Canvas. Also, the Subscription Form must be wrapped within .subscribe-widget DIV and the should have a Blank .widget-subscribe-form-result DIV for the Notification to be displayed. Here is a sample Subscription Form for reference:
[ch_pre]





Subscribe


[/ch_pre]

Hope this Helps!
