ProfileGrid as user registration and MailPoet opt-in

    Hello,

    I’m just getting started with ProfileGrid.

    My site needs to accept user registrations and get their opt-in for various newsletters (via MailPoet, which is already installed).

    1. Can ProfileGrid be used without giving users the ability to create a blog, post to the site, etc.?

    2. Do I need the paid version before I can connect ProfileGrid to MailPoet?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello @commontate,

    You can disable blogs on user profiles by turning off the “Enable Blog” option under “ProfileGrid >> Global Settings >> User Blogs.” Then, you can hide the Blog tab on the profile page by going to “ProfileGrid >> Global Settings >> Profile Tabs” in the dashboard.

    You may connect to MailPoet using the free version, but please ensure that you have installed the plugin’s “MailPoet Integration” extension on your site.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the directions. I turned off the blog in User Blogs and Profile Tabs.

    I have installed the MailPoet Integration for ProfileGrid.

    Can I display the user’s newsletter selections (for MailPoet) inside a ProfileGrid profile page? If so, how do I do this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello @commontater,

    To enable the “MailPoet” newsletter in a profile, you need to activate the “Enable MailPoet” option and the “Enable MailPoet Tab” option. These settings can be found under “Group Options >> MailPoet” for a group. Once you enable this configuration, members of that group will see the “Newsletter” tab under the “Settings” tab on their profile page.

    I hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi @profilegrid0 ,

    I have installed the Mailpoet integration in ProfileGrid and my list of 4 Mailpowet newsletters is visible in ProfileGrid > MailPoet (Mailpoet list).

    Right now, I have one group, with 4 newsletters. I think I might be setting this up incorrectly. My main default group, ActionsUSA Community contains all users. Under Extension Options, MailPoet = ON and I have selected my four newsletters in the Mailpoet list. Enable MailPoet Tab = ON.

    I am using the RegistrationMagic form, which has checkboxes for the 4 newsletters.

    When signed in as a user, I did not see the list of newsletters under the Settings tab, just a link to Newsletters. It took me a while to figure out I had to click Settings, then Newsletters. Unfortunately, this really buries the selections deep in the profile, and doesn’t help encourage sign-ups.

    How can I make the newsletter sign-up more visible to users? The reason they register will be to get on these newsletter lists. A selling point.

    Since each of the newsletters is optional and related to a specific need (not a general newsletter to all users), should I be asking users to subscribe to 1 or more groups upon registration, and then offer 1 newsletter per each group?
