Botton Link

Hey @umptata.

Hope you’re doing well ??

If you fill in both “Button Label” and “Button Link” fields it will create new button at the bottom of your popup that will redirect to desired URL.

I’m not sure what are you trying to setup here so could you provide me with some more info?
By chimpmail are you referring to MailChimp service?
Are you using some kind of plugin for this?

Looking forward to your response ??

Cheers,
Predrag

Thank you Predrag for your kind reply. I think my problem is that I have a wrong understanding of what Popup can do and what not. It might simply be the wrong plugin for my purposes.
I want to have a popup window where subscribers can fill in a field with their email and then push the submit button and then their address is sent to my Mailchimp list.

I understand that the button only leads to a page where they can then so what I want them to do, but I want them to subscribe directly.

I have Mailchimp for WP installed but that doesn’t do the job either. Their suggested form is so very ugly that I simply can’t force myself to use it. And paying $29 month is totally oversized for my kind of business. I know how to add the suggested popup from Mailchimp to my site, but this is far too “aggressive” for my typical clients with popping up after 3 seconds and no way to prolong it . This way I will loose subscribers, rather than win them…. They need to have a chance to read first before getting hit by a popup window.

So, the kind of window you offer is absolutely perfect, it looks great, works well but as mentioned obviously isn’t the right thing for me.

Right now I have the Jetpack widget on my blog page for subscriptions and that works fine but I want the subscribers in mailchimp that I can send out a newsletter at a later point. Maybe you can recommend a working and well designed alternative for my purposes? Thank you!

Hello umptata,

So PopUp can display popup, but subscription for has to came from other plugin. Like this one Easy Forms for MailChimp by YIKES (it has shortcodes that you can place inside popup).
In each popup setting in “When to show the PopUp:” you can set after how many seconds it will show in “Appear after” so it can be more than 3 seconds.

There is few mailchimp plugins you would need to test – but you should look one that has shotcodes avaliable (you can insert shortcode into popup).
Each plugin will have different form – and sometimes it will depend on your theme CSS how form will look like. Some themes have very strong styles and they can override CSS for plugin forms – in those cases customization is required.
