Jetpack Subscription form

Here is a subscription form which I’m using on Crunchify.

Let’s get started on how to create similar form for your WordPress site.

Step-1.

Download and Activate Jetpack plugin

Step-2.

Enable Jetpack’s Subscription module.

Step-3.

• Go to WordPress Dashboard
• Click on Widget
• Add Blog Subscription widget. Possible after post section.

Step-4.

Beautify your widget. Here is a CSS code which I’m using on Crunchify.

.jetpack_subscription_widget .widget-title {
        color: #fff;
        font-size: 30px;
        font-weight: 500;
        line-height: 1.4;
}
.jetpack_subscription_widget p {
    font-size: 15.5px;
    line-height: 24px;
}
#subscribe-email input {
    width: 98% !important;
    margin-right: 20px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    padding: 11px 15px 12px;
    font-size: 16px;
}
#subscribe-text {
        margin-bottom:15px;
}
#subscribe-email {
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 75%;
}
#subscribe-submit {
        display: inline-block;
}

For Mobile/Tablet view, add below CSS to to your theme’s style.css file.

    .jetpack_subscription_widget {
            padding: 30px 30px
        }
        .jetpack_subscription_widget .widget-title {
            font-size: 24px;
        }
        #subscribe-email {
            width: 66%;
        }

And you should be good. We have dedicated Newsletter subscription page on Crunchify. This setting applies to that short code too.
