Thanks again for the video. It was very helpful. I was able to complete it, but now the form “Subscribe to Blog” button is not the same as my other buttons, which are black and oval. How can I change the button style without upgrading to WPForms Pro, which I cannot afford?

I tried option 1, which I prefer. However, I’m struggling with the instruction. I create a new form, but I’m unsure if it is “sidebar” form. I also, don’t know what it means to “add two single line text fields” that are hidden. I’m sorry, but I’m not able to follow the instructions. I’ve read the links further in your reply, but I don’t think I can even get to these steps because a) I’m not sure I created a sidebar form and b) I don’t know what it means to add a hidden field or to set the default value.

Thanks, Ralden.

I have confirmed that I am running 3.6.1 and 1.9.9.2 versions.

I have taken several screenshots. I’ve uploaded the images to my Google Drive, but I’m unsure if you can actually view them. From my viewing of the this post, it doesn’t appear that you can. Any advice on properly sharing them is appreciated.

The first of is the top of a post where you can see the subscribe button the in the right sidebar. This is the one that doesn’t work correctly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GBPfyobLvwP271G3gdaCfYW82wXCB2Jh/view?usp=drive_link

The next image is the bottom of post where the imbedded subscribe is found, and this is the one that works correctly.

The final image is the window that opens once the subscribe button is selected in the first image (right sidebar). When someone subscribes this way, a new window appears, and I note that the displayed URL on this page is correctly returned, i.e., “subscribe to blog”. However, I wish it to communicate the page they were just on. Is there a way to address this issue?

Ralden — it worked!

Thank you so much. I don’t want to say it was a simple fix, but looking back, it seems straight forward enough. Sending me the json file was extremely helpful because it permitted me to see the actual coding. While I don’t code, I understood it well enough to see what you did. In fact, I made a few more edits by adding in extra <b> breaks for there to be an empty line between paragraphs. Thank you!

We can close out the ticket as successful in both fixing the problem and educating me just a bit on coding. Thank you!

Hi Ralden,

Thanks for the reply.

Word press sends the mail using my gmail account. I can send you examples of the email, but I don’t know how to insert it here as a pdf. Can I forward the email to you or is there a way to embed it here?

I’m currently traveling but I will try next week. I tested it using other email accounts, and the issue persists. I agree that there was some plugin update that caused the change.

Hi Ralden,

My apologies. I sent it via email but now I realize it wasn’t directed to you.

Thank you so much for helping. I greatly appreciate it. I just can’t figure out why the email notification to the Subscribe to Blog stopped formatting the line breaks. I wondered if it was a WPForms update?

Here’s a link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yWtIZ-1wE_rIv13poWACfWBfwSZfW9I-/view?usp=drive_link

Thanks!
