Hello,
you can use this tag
< ?php wpsb_opt_in(); ?>is it possible to have the newsletter inscription on a page and not on the sidebar?
I tried to put in in a page, but it didn’t work out.
but besides that I think it is a great plugin.
Hi Julakim
to put the newsletter widget inside a post you must enable PHP execution inside post,
first install this PHPexec plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/
then write this code in your post:
Hi,
I have done all the steps required to install and activate this plugin.
Am unable to view the widget in the presentation tab where it only shows themes and theme editor. What could be the problem?
Thank you.

Hi Vikki,
what’s you WordPress Version?
Hi,
It is version 2.0. If I need another version, how do I upgrade to that version that allows the widget to be shown in presentation tab?
Here you can upgrade to the latest wordpress version
Great plug-in, 2 questions:
-Can I use another mailbox service to download subscription emails? Ex: if under the options tab, for “Mailbox for managing subscriptions:” if I put another email address, will it send/download to that address?
-2nd, I am getting this error: “Cannot load wpsb-opt-in.php.” when I try to delete an email from the temp subcription list.
thanks.

Hello Karyn
- yes you can use your own email address for subscription management
- The wpsb-opt-in.php file must be in the plugins folder and not inside its own folder, this will resolve your error
Hi,
I have activated your plugin on Wordpress 2.3.3. Everything work, but as far as my theme is not a widget ready, i tried to use the tag , but does not work ! It just write the tag in my sidebar.
Any suggestion ?
P.S: SendBlaster is awesome, i just discovered yesterday night, and i’m loving it ! I’ll probably soon be a pro suscriber
sorry Romain, maybe it’s time to upgrade your template with a widget ready
you will get a lot of other cool plugins in the official wordpress widget directory. You can also insert manually this code
in your sidebar
Hi,
Thanks for the link to the latest wordpress version. I can now see the widget.
Vikki
Has anyone tried this on WP 2.5?
yep
I got it working flawless on 2.5
Hello,
Everything works fine except that the data inserted at the custom fields created via the wordpress plugin does not carry over to Sendblaster. For example, If I were to add “Name” or “City” as custom fields, when I tried to subscribe user: test@testing.com, if I were to fill the email text field that the plugin creates on my wordpress sidebar with “test@testing.com”, the field “Name” with “John” and the field “City” with “Paris”, when I download the new users in SendBlaster, the only field that works is the “email” field. All the others are blank even though I had put data in them.
Has anyone come across the same problem and is there a way to solve it?
A.P.
Hi Alexandros,

Please look inside SendBlaster’s Manage Subscriptions
section, you have to enable the checkbox: [Update all fields]
Thanks! It works now. Can’t believe I missed it!
A.P.
Two Questions:
1. Do we have to use the Sendblaster program in order for this plugin to work?
2. All I want to do is collect the email address and add the input field on my pages. How can I add this single box (for email) on my pages to successfully use your plugin?
Thank you.
Hello Jerry,
1. no, the Wordpress newsletter plugin works with almost every bulk email software
2. to put the plugin inside a page you have to create a custom template page, and then insert in the new page template this code:
< ?php wpsb_opt_in(); ?>you’re welcome
