@Liz
Actually it is my intent to continue support of Mailman. I will verify that is what is noted in the readme.

Thank you for letting me know of the problem. I know there was a recent Mailman release, please tell me which version you are using. Also, is your Mailman installation otherwise working?

I was using this plugin with my mailman lists and it was working great. It stopped working and I noticed that your supported mailing lists under Features and requirements no longer lists mailman. Can it still work with mailman and if so what modification do I need to make in order to get it functioning again? Thank you.

@RPDecker
Not a bad option.
Right now the plugin does not support that capability but it should be relatively easy to include. Look for an updated version with that new feature shortly.

This plugin is awesome! However, is their a way to name the maillists something other than the actual address (ie. “myblog@mywebsite.com” to just “My Blog”)? Having the maillist title relate to the actual address! This way I could use the full form in my sidebar and the maillist dropdown won’t extend past the webpage boundaries! Plus, I would prefer not to disclose the actual maillist address to everyone!! If you could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it!

This is a great start – Any chance you’d be thinking about building a plugin for Wordpress that offers the mailing list functionality directly instead of relying on 3rd party platforms? Would be great that people could log in and – from their profile – manage the list(s) they are subscribed to.

@Ben
1. Place the code into a text widget.
2. You may use any text around the form you wish. If you are asking to change the text on the button to “click here…”, that is not supported. Instead, I would add text above the form that says “Complete this form to receive my newsletter”.
3. Not quite sure I understand what you are looking for but it is not ggis-subscribe related. Perhaps you are thinking of the approach used by http://dvector.com/oracle/ggis-inlinepost/?

Hi!
1) I have recently installed ggis subscribe but only managed to put it into a page. How do i create it as a widget that stays on every page.
2) Can i adjust the text? I would like to add “click here to join my newsletter”
3) Do you know how can put info on the home page in wordpress. currently i can choose an existing page to be the home page but that is not what i want.
Thanks
Ben

@tetna re width of input field in the text widget.

You would control the width of form input fields using your stylesheets. Here is the CSS snippet:

.textwidget input.ggis-subscribe-email {
width:90%;
}

When using the gg-subscribe in the Widgets for my sidebar, is there a way I can shorten the input email field box? It is currently wider than my sidebar width. Thanks! jt2
