From Zero to Subscriber Hero: A Quick Start Guide

Ready to build your email list? First, activate the connector via the ‘Plugins’ menu. Find the connector and click ‘Activate.’

Next, access the connector settings. Look for the menu labeled ‘Connector Settings.’ You will need your unique key to proceed. Enter your key in the designated field.

Now, configure your subscription form. Select which lists users should be added to. Customize the appearance of your form to match your site’s style. Save your changes.

Add the form to your website. Use the provided shortcode or widget. Place it on pages or posts where you want to capture subscribers. A sidebar widget is a good starting point!

Tip: Keep your forms simple. Ask only for essential information like email addresses. A clean design boosts conversions.

Another tip: Offer an incentive. Give away a free ebook or discount code to encourage sign-ups. Announce you will be giving something to the user, let them know that they’re getting more than just updates.

Test your form. Submit a test email to ensure it works correctly. Verify that the email address is added to your list. And that’s it, you are on your way.

Why This Fork? Because We Like Things Done Right!

You might wonder why we chose to create a fork of the original plugin, especially given Jesmeen’s fantastic work on it. The truth is, we deeply respect the foundation she built. However, software evolves, and user needs change. This fork isn’t about replacing; it’s about extending and optimizing.

Our primary goal was to enhance specific areas based on community feedback and our own experience. We focused on streamlining the connection process to minimize setup friction. Additionally, we’ve introduced more robust error handling to provide clearer insights into potential issues, preventing frustrating dead ends. Under the hood, we optimized the code for improved performance, ensuring a smoother experience, particularly on websites with many subscribers.

This fork aims to offer a refined user experience and address gaps in functionality without undermining the core value of the original plugin. We believe this approach allows for faster iteration and more targeted improvements that directly benefit our users.

Troubleshooting and Getting Help (Because Even Superheroes Need a Hand)

Even the smoothest integrations can hit a snag. Here are some common issues and how to tackle them.

Problem: Subscriptions aren’t syncing.
Solution: First, double-check your API key. Ensure it’s correctly entered in the plugin settings. Next, verify that your lists are properly mapped. A mismatch can cause sync failures. Also, check if your email sending service account has sufficient permissions.

Problem: Error messages appearing on the admin panel.
Solution: Examine the error message closely. It often points to the source of the problem. Common causes include incorrect API credentials or connectivity issues. If the error persists, enable debug logging in the plugin settings. This creates a detailed log file you can share for assistance.

Problem: Forms not displaying correctly.
Solution: Clear your website’s cache. Also, check for conflicts with other plugins or your theme. Try temporarily disabling other plugins to isolate the issue.
