Derrick – Home Page – Subscribe Box

Our subscribe box is using a plugin called Gravity Forms. Gravity Forms is a premium plugin and the developer of this plugin does not allow us to provide a developer license. If you would like to use this form plugin, you will have to purchase a license. 

If you would prefer to go another route, there are many free contact form plugins available for WordPress. Just visit WordPress.org to find one that meets your needs. 

If you do opt to use Gravity Forms for the subscribe feature:

Go to Appearance -> Widgets

  • Drag Form widget over to your desired sidebar
  • Select desired form from Gravity Forms list
  • Insert a title for the widget (we used Subscribe and Received Updaetes for the demo)
  • Save

If you would like to have your form look like the demo sidebar form here are the steps.

  • Go to Forms and add/edit the desired form
  • Add the Name field to the form
  • Select Simple from the Name Format drop down
  • Click on the Advanced tab
  • Set the Field Size as Large
  • Add gf_left_half to the CSS Class Name
  • Add an Email field and mark as Required
  • Click on the Advanced tab
  • Set the Field Size as Large
  • Add gf_right_half to the CSS Class Name
  • Save

Remember to click your teal “Update Form” button to save your changes.
