How to remove mail list optin box

  • How do I remove the mail list optin box at the bottom of my posts. Since I have moved to mailchimp for my mail list subscribers the optin box does not send those subscribers to mailchimp.

    the optin box is at the bottom of the post below the “post comment” tab
    here is an example on this post

    the form MIGHT be hard coded into the template file.
    have you made changes to templates in the past for your website?

    Well unfortunately I don’t know how to make changes to the template so if I did do it in the past I don’t know how I did it … I know that isn’t much help

    it might have been set up as part of your theme originally.
    which theme are you using?
    which plugins are installed?

    Do you have this plugin installed? If so deactivate it and see if its gone.

    You can also just hide it with CSS.

    p.wysija-after-comment {
display: none;
}

    Well I did finally find it with the Mailpoet plugin, thank you for your help, I thought mailpoet was a necessary plugin for mailchimp to work but mailchimp seems to be working without it

    well I guess I was wrong, I do need mailpoet in order for my genesis Enews widget to work. It is all very confusing to me but perhaps mailpoet support will be able to help

    There should be an option on the plugin to turn that off one would think. But as I said you can hide it with a bit of CSS as shown above. Install Simply CSS plugin and add that code if you don’t get anywhere with the MailPoet’s

    thank you, I think I will see what MailPoet says first, I am a bit nervous about changing the CSS

    I am a bit nervous about changing the CSS

    for any changes to CSS or templated please use a child theme or CSS editor(like the Custom CSS module of jetpack).
    are you doing regular backups?
