Pull Subscribe2 code to the sidebar – Help Please!

  • I just downloaded the latest version of Subscribe2 plugin but wonder if anyone knows how to put the subscribe box on the sidebar instead of creating a new page?

    Thanks a lot

  • I am going to give it a try and report back.

    Worked fine! Thanks, Matty! ??

    I just used that same code in my sidebar but it doesn’t work correctly. The apply_filters function calls more than just the subscribe2 code – it also calls code for any other plugins that are running on the page. Is there a way to either exclude the other plugins or use something besides apply_filters? Otherwise this is no good to someone (like me) who uses more than one plugin.

    Check my page at https://www.ktuh.org/sovery
    You can see that it is pulling in the code for podpress too.

    Thanks.

    By the way, it doesn’t matter if I use the widget or not. I get the same result either way.

    Awesome!

    Okay, at the risk of sounding like a dolt – what’s the exact syntax for this? I’m still trying to find the time to learn PHP for this very reason… but I’m smart enough to know that this doesn’t work as it’s posted… Is it just <?php ...all that stuff... ?> or am I off here?

    Nevermind – that was it. It just didn’t work the first 3 times I tried it that way! ??

    <?php $content = apply_filters('the_content', '<p><!--subscribe2--></p>'); echo $content; ?>

    (Just to make it clear for anyone else…) ??

    Worked for me. Many Thanks!

    hi again, actually it only works on those pages that have no content. The line echo $content; is causing me some problems as it bringing across other plugins i.e my socail bookmarks onto the sidebar. I am having the same problem as rudiegirl. Any help is appreciated.

    Ok i gave up with subscribe2 and found an even better plugin that does allow the form onto the sidebar. I’m now using WP PHPList which is a fantastic wordpress plugin. In order to use it you also need to install PHPList – it’s an open source mailing list manager which i got from my web hosting cpanel – you could get it thru browsing the search engines. You can see a demo of this on my site https://bloggerholic.com
