 * I want to put in a single-post.php a code, where after clicking on a text simple
   link there will be a pop up with sing up form. But the [shortcodes] will not 
   work. How I can make it another way? <?php > something or [ help.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-classic-php-code-replacement-for-a-subscribe2-link/?output_format=md#something)

 * You’ll need to check the AJAX setting (which is really just an jQuery popup) 
   in the Appearance tab of the Subscribe2->Settings page. Then use the ‘link’ parameter
   in the shortcode, like this:
 * `[subscribe2 link='Click here to subscribe']`
 * Documentation about the shortcode parameters is here:

 * Works fine when I try it in post content, you must be doing something wrong.

 * Im not saying about posting it in post, but in post template in php. and in those
   templates – all [shortcodes] doesnt work

 * That’s because the content isn’t parsed by WordPress so you need to be explicit
   and tell the code what to do Roth the shortcode. You do this by calling a function,
   in this case the do_shortcode() function.
