Edit Message In Confirm/Unsubscribe/Etc Pages

I’m having the same issue.

The MailPoet support page is out-dated, unfortunately.

It seems like we can create pages using WordPress’s usual “Add New Page” function, and then choosing that page in the MailPoet > Settings > Basics, and MailPoet > Settings > Singup Confirmation screens. This seems like it could be a bit tricky and would require testing.

I think changing the text that appears with [wysija_page] would be ideal.

Does anybody have a solution?

Hello Kitkatwp,

Here’s what I have found. I’ve dug around in the plug-in’s code, and I believe the solution I outlined above is the way to go.

Digging into the plug-in’s code
I’ve found what appears to be the code that shows these message’s in the following file:

Wysija-newsletters > controllers > front > confirm.php

The MailPoet developers didn’t use any apply_filter, or using a get_options to pull up your text anywhere. I don’t think they want us to modify this message.

Solution
I’ve tested this solution and it so far it’s working nicely.

You need to create at least two pages using WordPress’s Dashboard. Here are sample slugs to show you what I mean.

• example.com/newsletter_confirm/
• example.com/newsletter_unsub/

You have the opportunity to use your theme’s options to change how these pages look (sidebar, no sidebar, turn off comments, stuff like that.) You can then write whatever you want on these pages.

The downside to this method is that it’s not dynamic like [wysija_page] is. In other words, the plug-in’s built-in shortcode can say “Thanks Bob for subscribing.” Your text will just be “Thanks for subscribing.”

You then have to go to MailPoet > Settings > Basics, and MailPoet > Settings > Singup Confirmation and choose your new pages as the ones that users see when they get messages.

I found that the “Edit your profile” page that users see when they click the link at the bottom of your email newsletter had comments turned on. I didn’t want comments on that page, so I created a new page with comments turned off and put [wysija_page] on it. You then have to go to MailPoet > Settings > Advanced and select your new page as the profile page.

• example.com/newsletter_profile/

The shortcode was the only way I could figure out to place the user’s “Edit your profile” data to display in the browser.

I hope you found this helpful.

Maybe you can leave this thread as “unresolved” a few more days, to see if someone from the MailPoet team has anything more to add.

Thanks GD-FB, that’s exactly the approach needed.

If you don’t select a new page, MailPoet will use the post’s template (single.php) to show those messages, that’s why the comments section can show up.

We’re gonna change that KB article today to reflect the new options, sorry about that!

The actual Mail Poet wording comes from a file /wysija-newsletters/helpers/user.php

If I replace the wording “Yup, we’ve …” in this file with nothing, i.e.””, then I don’t see the Mail Poet words when someone subscribes.

Whether this text appears on other pages as well and I would compromise something by editing it I don’t know ?

Also, if the plugin updates it would probably need re-editing.

Works for now unless someone knows of a smarter way to do it ?

Actually, from some digging, it seems that the wording comes from:

/wysija-newsletters/controllers/front/confirm.php

In there (confirm.php), one can change the wording for both lines of text and page header I think, although the default title is quite serious and straightforward.

I am a true novice and just only installed mailpoet, but it seems to be working great, albeit the widget in the footer that looks odd with the title and input fields centered and the submit button aligned left…

Shall start a different topic for that.

Hope above helped:)
