How to get a "confirm your subscription" page to automatically appear
-
How can I get a “confirm your subscription” page to appear after they subscribe? Is there a way to add this URL of this page I have created and have it appear?
Thank you!

Hi,
This is dependent on your mailing list service. Depending on the one you’re using, you can either change a setting an option on their end or change what is entered into the widget, if it is available. MailChimp, for example, it is only a setting at MailChimp’s site.
Cheers!
I use Icontact. I already have it set up on Icontact to send them to a confirmation page and it has been working with my previous subscribe box. However, it is not working with this plugin. And I have called Icontact and asked and they have no clue.
When I add the confirmation page url to the form action box, it pulls up the page after they sign up, however, it’s not actually registering subscribers, I have been testing it out.
How would I change it in the widget? Can you give me an example, I’m not techy at all. If it’s a redirect, where in your widget does it go? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks so much!

I’m afraid I’m not an iContact user so don’t have an example.
The widget works by being a wrapper for the form action, etc and other code provided by iContact to add to your site.
If you grab the code that they provide for adding a sign-up form on your site, add the form action field and other fields to their respective places, and all of the hidden fields, it should work the same as their form.
When you submit the form, it sends the data to iContact and iContact controls where it goes from there. With MailChimp, they have a setting on their site you can change for the confirmation. With Aweber, there is a hidden field you can set.
If you could send me a link to a page on your site with both the widget from the plugin and with the form as provided by iContact, I’m happy to check to see if there’s anything different that could be set via the widget.
Thank you Brandon! Ok, here is all my info, hopefully you can find what I am missing.
I have BOTH subscribe boxes on my site temporarily (yours is down to the right), but I’d like to just have the one that working (hopefully yours) ….asap
1. I set up on icontact a success url, which is that page that should pop up right away on my blog after they sign up. All set up and works on the my current subscribe box (you can try it out).
2. html code from iconact sign up:<style> .link, .link a, .signupframe { color: #050305; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; } .link, .link a { text-decoration: none; } .signupframe { border: 1px solid #000000; background: #ffffff; } .signupframe .required { font-size: 10px; } </style> <form method="post" action="https://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php" name="icpsignup" id="icpsignup4709" accept-charset="UTF-8" onsubmit="return verifyRequired4709();" > <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://www.integrativenutritionaltherapies.com/confirm-e-mail-address/"> <input type="hidden" name="errorredirect" value="https://www.icontact.com/www/signup/error.html"> <div id="SignUp"> <table width="260" class="signupframe" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td valign="top" align="right"> <span class="required">*</span>?Email </td> <td align="left"> <input type="text" name="fields_email"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="right"> ?First Name </td> <td align="left"> <input type="text" name="fields_fname"> </td> </tr> <input type="hidden" name="listid" value="9898924"> <input type="hidden" name="specialid:9898924" value="FKV1"> <input type="hidden" name="clientid" value="406457"> <input type="hidden" name="formid" value="4709"> <input type="hidden" name="reallistid" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="doubleopt" value="1"> <tr> <td>?</td> <td><span class="required">*</span> = Required Field</td> </tr> <tr> <td>?</td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </div> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> var icpForm4709 = document.getElementById('icpsignup4709'); if (document.location.protocol === "https:") icpForm4709.action = "https://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php"; function verifyRequired4709() { if (icpForm4709["fields_email"].value == "") { icpForm4709["fields_email"].focus(); alert("The Email field is required."); return false; } return true; } </script> <span class="link"><a href="https://www.icontact.com">Email Marketing</a> You Can Trust</span>

3. your widget fields:
https://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php
fields_email
fields_fname
<input type=”hidden” name=”listid” value=”9898924″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”specialid:9898924″ value=”FKV1″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”clientid” value=”406457″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”formid” value=”4709″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”reallistid” value=”1″>
<input type=”hidden” name=”doubleopt” value=”1″>4. The sign up success url is set to redirect them to: https://www.integrativenutritionaltherapies.com/confirm-e-mail-address/
It looks like you need to add these to your Hidden Fields settings (including the ones already present):
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://www.integrativenutritionaltherapies.com/confirm-e-mail-address/"> <input type="hidden" name="errorredirect" value="https://www.icontact.com/www/signup/error.html">
You are the BEST!!!! Thank you!
Hi
I have a problem.
I use a capture page using the Genesis theme and plugin Genesis eNews Extended.When put the mail on the page capture (https://formulasucessoafiliados.info/) the system does not follow in ferrite and falls on the capture page with the link lista(https://formulasucessoafiliados.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=31af79666abb8155a9cc338b7&id=01d71a71ed).Now, the system works and the email is added to list.As two images are appended.
the problem is with the plugin configuration or Mail Chimp? Have contacted the Mail Chimp and ees report that can not help.
Grato
Arthur
thanks
Arthur
Hi Arthur,
It is best practice to start your own thread in the forum to not jump in on someone else’s (now resolved) issue.
On your site, you need to change the e-mail field name setting from
Email
toEMAIL
. For MailChimp, the capitalization matters.There are a couple of great tutorials for setting up the plugin with MailChimp available at https://www.brandonkraft.com/genesis-enews-extended/install/#mailchimp
If you need any additional help, please start a new thread and I’ll check it out.
Cheers!
