Subscription Form Block

The Noptin Newsletter Form block lets you add a newsletter subscription form to a WordPress post, page, template, or block-enabled widget area without writing code.

You can use the block to display an existing Noptin subscription form. If you need a form with custom fields, text, or styling, first create a newsletter subscription form using the Noptin form editor.

How to add the Newsletter Form block in WordPress

Follow these steps to embed a Noptin newsletter signup form using the WordPress Gutenberg editor:

1. Edit the post or page where you want the newsletter signup form to appear.
2. Click the + (Add Block) button to open the block inserter.

3. Search for Noptin and select “Newsletter Form“.
4. Finally, select the subscription form you want to display.

When you’re finished, save the post and preview it. The selected newsletter form will appear where you inserted the block. You can move it to another location in the WordPress block editor.

Change the newsletter form displayed by the block

You can display a different Noptin newsletter subscription form without deleting the block or adding a new one.

1. Open the post, page, or template containing the Newsletter Form block.
2. Select the Newsletter Form block.
3. Choose another saved Noptin subscription form from the block settings.
4. Click Update to save the change.

What if the Newsletter Form block is not available?

If you cannot find the Newsletter Form block in your current WordPress editor, you can embed a Noptin subscription form using a Shortcode block instead.

1. Open Noptin → Forms and find the subscription form you want to embed.
2. Copy the shortcode associated with that form.
3. Open the destination post or page and insert a WordPress Shortcode block.
4. Paste the form shortcode into the block, then click Publish or Update.

Alternatively, use [noptin] to display Noptin’s default newsletter subscription form.

See the Newsletter Subscription Shortcode guide for additional options, including displaying a specific saved form.

Test your newsletter subscription form

After publishing your page, test the newsletter form to confirm that visitors can subscribe successfully. An editor preview confirms where the block appears, but a test submission verifies the subscription process.

1. Open the published page in a private browsing window.
2. Check that the correct subscription form, input fields, and submit button are visible.
3. Submit an email address you control, preferably on a staging website.
4. Check that the expected confirmation message or post-subscription redirect appears.
5. Open Noptin → Subscribers and verify that the subscriber record and expected field values were saved. If double opt-in is enabled, also verify the confirmation process.

Troubleshooting: Newsletter form not showing

If the newsletter form does not appear on your published WordPress page, check the following:

• Confirm that the selected Noptin subscription form is saved and published.
• Clear any active WordPress, server, or CDN cache and reload the page.
• Noptin can hide subscription forms from existing subscribers. Test the page in a private browser window or disable that option.
• Review any visibility or page-targeting restrictions configured for the subscription form.
