Introducing the MailUp Plugin for WordPress
The MailUp plugin for WordPress makes it easy to add a customizable newsletter signup form to a WordPress Web site. With the MailUp plugin you can easily add a newsletter sign-up form to your Web site or blog, and then send and track email and sms with MailUp. The MailUp newsletter signup plugin for WordPress is available free of charge in the WordPress Plugin directory.
- Visitors to your WordPress-powered blog or Web site will be able to subscribe to your newsletter using a configurable sign-up form. Their information will be saved in your MailUp account.
- You will use your MailUp platform to manage those subscribers, create and send messages to them, view statistics on sent messages, and more.
- The MailUp plugin supports the recommended 'confirmed opt-in' subscription method (i.e. subscriber receives an email with a confirmation link that has to be clicked to confirm the subscription). This method ensures that spam traps or wrong email addresses are never added to your list.
- The unsubscription process will be managed automatically by MailUp (e.g. unsubscribe link in the footer of your messages).
- MailUp supports SMS (text messaging) too, so you can choose to collect a mobile phone number as well.

Do I have to be a MailUp customer to use the plugin?
You must have activated a MailUp console (full account or a free trial) and then specify the platform URL in plugin settings. On MailUp you must enable requests coming from the server that hosts your WordPress site (go to "Manage->Web service" and then select "frontend" in the dropdown menu to insert the IP address of your server. More than one address could be registered).
How can I configure my plugin?
Go to the admin panel, press "Settings" and then select "WP MailUp". Fill in or check all the fields using the help buttons if something is not clear.
How can I check if my plugin is working?
Just fill in the required fields and press the Test button. If the test is successful, try to subscribe to an address from the form. The specified contact will be added to the MailUp distribution list specified in system settings.
Once the configuration is set up, can I make any changes/updates?
Yes, you can modify any of the sections ("General Data", "User Lists", "User Fields", "Errors" and "Terms and Conditions") and update the information.
How can I change the appearance of the plugin?
You can select between four (4) available styles (CSS), if no one matches your need you can edit one of the existing CSS files (style1.css, ..., style4.css). Please note that editing is allowed only for users who have read/write access to those files.
Can subscribers sign-up for my newsletter through a social account (e.g. Facebook)?
Yes, MailUp provides a simple integration with all the most used social networks. You could insert into your website a simple banner "Click here to subscribe to our newsletter using your Facebook account". This feature is a standard one and you don't need to install any plugin, just activate a MailUp account.
Is it possible to translate this plugin?
Yes, edit each string within the settings panel. No need to edit any file. MailUp supports all the charsets. If you use WMPL or Polylang to manage multilanguage, check the corresponding option inside General Settings.
Why should I use this plugin and not other services, like FeedBurner?
MailUp allows you to take control of subscribers (view, import, edit, delete, export) and of messages (define scheduling, content, and recipients).
Can I disable the plugin?
Yes. Click on the Plugins tab and click on "deactivate."
The plugin was configured correctly, but it still returns a "generic error" when I fill out the subscription form. Why?
The IP address of the Web site or blog is probably not registered in your MailUp console. See above under "Authorizing WordPress to communicate with MailUp". If you are still getting this generic error even after correctly registering the blog or Web site's IP address, please try disabling IP address validation in your MailUp console and try again. There are times when IP address validation does not work properly and it can cause this issue.
Can I insert the form within a single page?
Yes. You have to create the subscription form extrapolate the HTML code and paste it inside WordPress during the creation of an article or page (this depends on the theme used or the website set up).
Is it possible to create a shortcode?
Is there possibility to link Mailup plugin to Elementor forms?
For the moment we do not have a direct plugin for the Elementor component of Wordpress, but through the functions of the Elementor plugin, and by creating the registration form in Mailup, you can add the registration form to your website. First of all you have to load the Html block from Elementor:
Then log into Mailup and create your subscription form. Find the subscription forms directly in the console, in the menu "Database building/Subscriptions/Subscription forms". Once created, the Html code can be obtained and copied and pasted into the html block:
In this way you can have the registration form on your site directly linked to Mailup.
