What is the subscribe link for WordPress
July 05, 2013, 10:01:53 pm
The documentation says:

Using the subscribe link

One way to allow users to subscribe to an email list online is by directing them to www.yourdomain.org/civicrm/mailing/subscribe. You and anyone who accesses this link can subscribe to the available mailing list groups.

My WordPress sites is at http://www.vnanimalwelfare.org. I tried http://www.vnanimalwelfare.org/civicrm/mailing/subscribe and get a page not found

Is the URL different for WordPress?

I intend to use a profile but just thought I'd mention this.

I also was thinking that in WordPress there is no way to give the anonymous user access to that page, that I know of.

Dennis-
Did you create the page in Wordpress- then use a shortcode to put the subscribe page in place?
Civi doesn't make wordpress pages- you have to do that- and then specify what part of Civi displays within.

I've not tried to do this- but- that's generally how Civi interacts with Wordpress.

Hope this helps.

There's not automatic short-code creation option yet for the subscribe link, you can construct a URL with this pattern:

http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/mailing/subscribe&reset=1

If this is for anonymous visitors, check the WordPress Access Control permissions grid (CiviCRM > Administer > Users and Permissions > Permissions) to make sure anonymous role has access to CiviMail: access CiviMail subscribe/unsubscribe pages permission.

Thanks, Dave. The permissions were set already and this link works fine.

I'd like to follow up on what "The Next Wave" said. Is there an example of creating a WordPress page an including CiviCRM profiles within it? This default subscribe page only contains an email field. I''d like to capture more and also show the available subscriptions on the same page.

This probably deserves a separate post but I'm putting it here because I don't know exactly where to ask the question.

I'm testing the Newsletter subscription link as described by Dave above. The confirmation email contains the VERP address with my domain. Since this is returned back to my mail server, it is not going to work:

Code: [Select]
This is the mail system at host gateway1.nyi.mail.srv.osa.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

                   The mail system

<c.74.3.aaf3c19c155e6314@vnanimalwelfare.org>: host
    mail.vnanimalwelfare.org[166.78.254.210] said: 550 5.1.1
    <c.74.3.aaf3c19c155e6314@vnanimalwelfare.org>: Recipient address rejected:
    User unknown in virtual mailbox table (in reply to RCPT TO command)
How can I get it to use the correct return address: site-help@vnanimalwelfare.org

CiviMail is working fine.

Another problem here is that I cannot find the workflow template for the confirmation and activation emails sent when the subscription is successful.

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/messageTemplates&reset=1

I do not see it in the list of templates.

Subscribe (welcome), unsubscribe etc. messages are configured at:

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/component?reset=1

Not too up on the VERP stuff - you might try asking on IRC.

I have looked through the list of workflow templates and I do not see one for the newsletter confirmation.

Dennis - it's in a different spot as per my sample URL above. CiviCRM > Administer > CiviMail > Header, Footer, Automated Messages
