Hi and welcome to another training tutorial! ^^,
When using the Easy Sign Up form plugin you will notice it has a very ordinary appearance.
Visitors should be able to see the sign up form CLEARLY so in this training I'm going to do just that, make it stand out! So that is looks something like this:
In this tutorial I am going to show you how you can change your form to any color you like. I know this is not the best looking example but currently this is the best CSS code I could find. You can play around with the html if you know what you are doing.
You should already have the "Easy Sign Up" plugin installed.
If you want to install this plugin Marion Black has done a very easy to follow training here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co...
Please click on the next page where you can find the CSS code. →

Hi thanks for posting this it's great, so easy to understand :)
I need one of these on my side bar and have been taking notes so far. I plan to add one soon.
Is there a double opt-in feature that protects against spam? where the customer has to go through proving they are 'human' etc.
I'm so illiterate with doing things like this I have no clue. I did see Marion's tutorial about a month ago and asked if the Easy Sign Up plugin has the double opt-in feature but didn't get an answer so I left it.
Also is this plugin free?
Thanks!

Hi Patsy, thank you for your comment and support ;)
There is a spam block feature called Honeypot, I have been using it for a few days now and there don't seem to be bots crawling through although you never know!
The addresses look real but I remain skeptical till they chat to me via email or reply to newsletters.
The plugin is free and you can upgrade it with MailChimp (suggested by WA members). You will have an auto responder that will do a certain amount of emails for free but I don't use it yet, will have to soon though, I can't handle the signups manually no longer :p
If I can help you more please feel free to PM me anytime.
Best regards,
Kamil

Thank you Kamil.
Bo left 2 separate blog posts. One about Auto responders the other about Subscriber sign up forms.
The auto responder, is for emails you write up and automatically send out. Subscriber forms are signing up to automatically send out each new post you publish.
I want the subscriber form. So the Easy Sign Up plugin sounds like this is what I may need or Feedburner also. I heard of Mailchip but not a lot of good things about it.
Now..is Honeypot a plugin?
Thanks for your time and patience!
It's nice to hear you can't handle the signups manually any longer :D

Oh, I have not heard anything bad about MailChimp this far, what is wrong there?
Honeypot is just a spam option you can select on Easy Sign Up, you just tick a box to activate it.
I am overwhelmed I tell you!...
Not only with my day job but with the site building, learning, helping others, writing, analyzing, more learning, emails, messages, editing, installing plugins, writing to support when site bugs out (nothing major yet fortunately) etc.
HOW DO WE MANAGE THIS ALL ON WA GUYS?!
Hehe :D

Same here it's crazy on all counts! except the job part.

Can we ask SiteSupport ( who is my best friend BTW) to add extra hours in our day?
Thank you for all of your help!

1. You can easily set it up to function with a double opt in - it will ask you to type in a message to send to the people who sign up. At this point you ask them to please confirm their subscription by hitting the reply button and then you will send them xyz - see - double optin.
2. Honeypot is not a plugin, in Marion's video there is a box you tick for antispam that comes with the easysignup plugin, however it has been upgraded and now you click the honeypot that comes with the plugin, however, you really should click it - I didn't at first and ALL my sign ups were bots and they looked exactly real- and the developer confirmed they can be like that.

the first optin is when they sign up through the form on your website, the second is when you get them to confirm in the first message you set the plugin to send them in - it doesn't have to say 'thank you for signing up', it can say something else telling them to confirm their subscription - at that point you've got double optin
Botipton wrote a good post on how his double optins got less people in the end but they were better quality traffic, so it will be interested to see if people will confirm...but those who do will be very interested and you have all the addresses anyway even if they don't
