 * Hi guys,
 * We’re trying to add a checkbox to ask for the user’s consent before subscribing
   to our newsletter. I can’t find a way doing that from the plugin.
 * Can someone help with this?
 * Thanks,
    Cristian

 * Hey [@cristianroman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cristianroman/)
 * Glad to help lend a hand. With the List Subscribe plugin, there is not a way 
   to add a checkbox to confirm subscription. However, if you’d like to be sure 
   your subscribers are giving express permission to join the list, I would recommend
   enabling Double Opt In in the plugin settings. This will trigger a confirmation
   email sent to the subscriber’s inbox which they will have to open and click a
   link in order to officially join the MailChimp list. You can learn a bit more
   about Double Opt In here on MailChimp’s Knowledge Base: [http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/about-double-opt-in](http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/about-double-opt-in)
 * As for setting that up, you’ll want to go to the List Subscribe plugin settings,
   find the “List Options” section, and select the “Use Double Opt-In” checkbox,
   then clicking the Update button to save those changes. Here’s a screenshot of
   what that will look like in the settings: [https://cl.ly/3e1U162P081P](https://cl.ly/3e1U162P081P)
 * If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know.
