    Hello, one of our clients is in the process of moving from Mailchimp to Dotdigital and we are having some issues converting their existing Mailchimp forms to Dotdigital ones. I am using this plugin but having the following issues:

    1. I want to add the subscribe newsletter to the footer – but it’s in a block which is only for page content, how can I add the form to my footer? I looked in Widgets but it said they are deprecated and to use the block.
    2. I also need to add it within a modal – similar to above how can I do this?
    3. I don’t want a title as I want to set it on a per newsletter basis – but when I delete out the contents of the ‘form header’ field within the plugin settings it still renders a div with an empty <h2> tag in it.
    4. I also dont want the text that says ‘Please complete the fields below:’ that is in a div called dotdigital-for-wordpress-widget-description – how can I remove this?

    Hi –

    1. You can still use widgets if your theme / WP still supports them. Equally, you can use blocks in a footer if your theme is set up to support this. If all else fails you have the [dotdigital-signup] shortcode (docs) which you can insert into a template file using do_shortcode.
    2. Our plugin doesn’t provide this functionality, you would have to build it yourself. As long as you can output our form into the DOM, you could use some other plugin to wrap the modal content and load it.
    3. Sure, that’s not great – I’ll ticket removing the h2 if title is left empty. You could use CSS in the meantime.
    4. You could use CSS to set that div to display: none.

    Hi again, we’ve investigated the <h2></h2> tags being present even if the title is empty. We actually have a checkbox in the Dotdigital Signup Form block options to show the title, and it can be passed in the shortcode options like:

    [dotdigital-signup showtitle=0]

    Hello, thanks for this, I am now using [dotdigital-signup showtitle=0] to show my form – how can I add placeholder text to the email field? I looked at the docs but couldn’t see a way to add it.

    Sorry for the delay – this isn’t possible at the moment. I’ll take this as a feature request and add it to our backlog.
