Choose a form placement and manage it

Subscribe Forms Pro and Subscribe Forms Agency are paid plans for creating promotional subscription forms on a WordPress blog or website. Their customizable opt-in forms support email list building as an alternative to relying only on standard newsletter fields from an email content management system. Add forms to page areas, place them inline with content, or display them in widget areas. Shortcodes let you add and manage multiple forms, and responsive layouts support different screen sizes.

Match templates and styling controls to the layout

Subscribe Forms Pro includes 12 pre-designed templates. Choose a template to start with a prepared layout, or create custom backgrounds and colors and build a fully custom form. Paid design controls include heading text, text color and size, overlay transparency, action button text, form width, messages, and other visual options. Forms can also use a background image.

The listed free functions include changing form and button text, text size, and form width; retrieving the URL of the page where a form was submitted; and choosing free fonts and preset colors. Paid plans extend the available design and process settings.

Connect providers and pick submission responses

The supported connection list includes MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, GetResponse, Constant Contact, ConvertKit, iContact, Gist, SendFox, HubSpot CRM, MailerLite, Pipedrive, and MailPoet. Paid capability details also call out forms and support for MailChimp, GetResponse, and ActiveCampaign. A form can connect to more than one provider and send leads to email as well. For example, leads can go to MailChimp, Pipedrive, HubSpot, or SendFox while also arriving by email. MailChimp connections can apply tags and assign contacts to groups.

Ajax support is available for form submissions. After submission, choose an edited thank-you screen, a redirect to another URL, or a hidden contact form. A redirect can open in the current tab or a new tab. The form can also include a consent checkbox identified in the feature description as GDPR compliant.

Keep leads on the WordPress site

The extension can save and track leads locally. Before publishing, configure the form's submission response, local lead tracking, and any provider tags or groups you need.

Set up a form

Install the selected paid plan on a WordPress site, create a form, then choose a template or custom design. Set its text, colors, background, layout, provider connections, and submission behavior. Add the form with a shortcode, place it in a page or widget area, or use an inline placement.
