    I have set everything up including the WP Mail SMTP plugin and have added the HTML from Arigato to the site in question…

    Here the HTML I placed in My Site:

    <form class="bft-front-form bft-vertical bft-inline-label" method="post" action="https://jevonputnam.com/" onsubmit="return BFTValidate(this);">
<div class="bft-form-group"><label>Name:</label>&nbsp;<input type="text" name="user_name"></div>
<div class="bft-form-group"><label>Email:</label>&nbsp;<input type="text" name="email"></div>
<div class="bft-form-group"><input type="submit" value="Register" class="bft-button"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="bft" value="register">
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" >
function BFTValidate(frm) {
		if(frm.user_name.value == "") {
		alert("Please fill in your name");
		frm.user_name.focus();
		return false;
	}
			
	
	var email = frm.email.value;
	if(email=="" || email.indexOf("@")<1 ||email.indexOf(".")<1) {
		alert("Please fill in valid email address");
		frm.email.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
		
	return true;
}
</script>

    So when I opted into my site 1st it does not redirect me to the correct page I set for redirection. It goes to my main site and not a sublink. Next when I opt-in it does not add my test email to the responder List at all.

    I even tried using the wordpress shortcode and added it to a sample page and got the same result. This is the shortcode: [BFTWP]

    As I said. nothing seems to be working right. any ideas?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    This is because your home page redirects, it’s not a WP page.
    In such case change the form action attribute to another page. It should be a page controlled by your WP installation, not something that redirects elsewhere. WP should handle the form action, otherwise how could the plugin work.

    Ok Thank you, figured it out and it seems to be working now. I had my main domain redirecting it to another site inside cpanel. I had to remove it and set my page as the Home page in word press and it worked once I did that. Thank you.

    Ok Now I have a New Issue, I now get subscriptions but the emails are not being sent out. They say error for some reason under my Raw Email Log.

    Any Ideas?
