Hello again @blueelephantaustria ,
Thank you for reaching out with your queries. I’m here to help clarify your concerns regarding the customization of unsubscribe and subscription management pages, as well as enhancing the subscribe experience at checkout. Below are the solutions to the issues you have raised:
1) Localizing the Unsubscribe Page
The use of the shortcode [mailpoet_page] is necessary for the unsubscribe functionality to work correctly within MailPoet. To personalize this text in German or any other language, I recommend using the Loco Translate plugin. This tool allows in-browser editing of WordPress translation files and can help you effectively translate these strings. Here’s how you can do it:
- Install the Loco Translate plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.
- Navigate to the plugin in your WordPress admin panel and find the MailPoet translations.
- Use Loco Translate to alter the shortcode text to “Klicke hier, um dich vom Newsletter abzumelden” or any other custom text.

2) Managing Your Subscription Page
Currently, MailPoet’s subscription management form does not support changing the email address directly from the form. To update an email address, a subscriber should unsubscribe using the provided form and then sign up again with the new email address. This ensures that the email records are properly updated and also respects user consent and data integrity.
3) Adding a Privacy Link at Checkout
To include a privacy policy link next to the checkbox at the checkout, you might need to adjust your website’s HTML or modify the checkout page template, depending on how your website or e-commerce platform is set up. Typically, this involves adding an HTML link to the privacy policy within the label or description of the checkbox field. If you’re not familiar with HTML or WordPress templates, you might consider reaching out to a web developer for assistance.
