Optin form placement

Hi Catdaddy75,

if your theme has a widgetized area at the top, you can add a text widget with the shortcode [optinform] as the content.

If your theme does not have a widgetized area at the top, you would need to find the exact location where you want to place the form in the template file, and add the following code to it:
<?php if(function_exists('optinforms_create_form')) { echo optinforms_create_form(); } ?>

Hi Boris,

Thank you for sharing but I’m not a coder and I wouldn’t know where to begin.

I have a theme that I purchased and really like but the support is nonexistent. I would request my money back but I like the software.

I have since found out that the code is a mess and outdated and probably would merge with other plug-ins or updates.

I was hoping to find something similar.

Thanks again.

Hi Catdaddy75,

perhaps it’s a good idea to hire a developer to do this for you. You would need to add the above code to the header.php file in your theme. The exact location depends on the code of your theme.

Hi
I currently have the optin form on the bottom of my home page in the widget area. WHen I tick add after 1 paragraph it does on all pages and I’m ok with this. However on the home page there is a slider with 4 images. The optin form is going onto each image and I dont know how to stop it from going on there. I would prefer to stop the optin form from going onto the home page as it is down the bottom as a widget. Please help.
Regards Gadabout

HI
I have another question. Is it possible to add another 2 places for data so I can have the city and country of where the person is from on the optin form?
Cheers

Hi Gadabout,

to answer your first question: you can exclude the optin form on your home page. To do so, enter the page ID of your home page in the Exclude on pages option, in the Form Placement section.

The answer to your second question is yes, but this would require custom development.

Tks but I can not see the id number at the bottom of the edit page the page ID only says champselite/home there is no number

Hi

I can’t find the id number for the home page. At the bottom left of the page when in admin it says champselite/home only

Sorry when on the home page of the website where I dont want it on there is no number just champselite.com.au So where do I find this ID number? Also when the optin form goes on the home page it also goes onto the top slider which is obviously considered as a page too and I dont know how to stop it from going on the slider. I would appreciate your help

Hi Gadabout,

to see the page ID, click on Pages in the navigation menu and click on Edit for the page you wish to exclude. Once you are editing the page, you will see a number in the address bar of your browser, for example:
https://example.com/post.php?post=2&action=edit

In this example, the page ID is 2.

Here’s a video showing how it’s done:

Let me know if you were able to find it.
