Having finished customising the form, open the Integration panel, Select MailPoet in Email Provider dropdown and the MailPoet list to subscribe users to. You can also toggle disabling welcome email. Here’s a guide on how too enable or disable MailPoet’s double optin.
To actually get the opt-in to display on your site, toggle the activate switch ON at the top (close to “Save Changes” button).
Navigate to the “Display Rules” panel.
If you want the opt-in form to be displayed everywhere (all pages) of your WordPress site, also check “Globally load optin” otherwise use the page level targeting and triggers to determine how and where in your site the opt-in will be shown.
Finally, save the changes. Preview your website and you should see the optin displayed. If it doesn’t show up, be sure to clear your website and browser cache.
