SIMPLY USING THE OFFICIAL WORDPRESS PLUGIN

Integrating Subscription/Signup Forms With WordPress using our Official WordPress plugin v4.5














Use our official WordPress plugin

Download our plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory, or click “Add New” and search for it in your WordPress “Plugins” section.














And…

If you downloaded the plugin, go to your WordPress administrative section and visit the “Plugins” => “Upload” section, and upload the entire Zip folder (that you just downloaded).














And…

On the Plugins page, click “Activate” for the “GeniusContacts” plugin.














And…

From the Appearance => Widgets page, drag the “GeniusContacts” widget into a sidebar.














And…

• Type in your account URL and credentials, and then hit Save.

• (To find your specific URL and API Key, visit the “Account” => “Settings”= > “API” section in GeniusContacts.)














Then…

• After clicking “Save” in WordPress, it will display the available forms that are set up in your GeniusContacts App (xyz.myGeniusContacts.com)














And…

• Choose a form and then hit “Save” again.














And…

• The public side of WordPress will then display that form in the sidebar.














Using the shortcode

• You can also display your form anywhere WordPress shortcodes are allowed. Just use this shortcode once you have configured your form settings in the WordPress admin section: [GeniusContacts]

• An example in a blog post body:














And…

• And how that renders in the actual blog post:














Form width

• The plugin will detect the form width you have set in GeniusContacts (under Integration when creating the form). If you want to adjust the width, you must do this in GeniusContacts, and then click “Refresh” in the widget area:














Advanced settings

• There are some advanced settings that let you control the following aspects of your Subscription/Signup form:1. Option to Add subscriber (default

behavior) or Sync subscriber (performs edit if the subscriber already exists).

2. How the form is submitted: standard page reload, or Ajax.

3. Whether or not to use the standard form CSS that GeniusContacts supplies.

4. Whether or not to use your own custom form action URL.














Then…

• Here are some key things to be aware of, regarding the advanced settings:

– If you choose Sync, that requires using Ajax to submit the form because our standard form process handler does not work with Ajax so we included a custom API script with the plugin that does the actual sync (through our API).

– You can also use Sync with your own custom action URL (with or without Ajax), presumably a script that you have set up to perform the add/edit via our API.

– Using the Ajax option requires that jQuery be enabled for your WordPress installation. Here is one way of enabling it.

– When using Ajax there will be a <div> that appears above the Subscription/Signup form that contains the result message. You can style this element by targeting this ID: form_result_message in your CSS. Example below:














And…

• Any time you use your own custom action URL you will have to use our API to submit the data.

• If you don’t keep the original form CSS, it will simply strip out all CSS that comes with the form. Example screenshot with CSS removed:
