## Email Subscription Forms and Newsletter Forms

Design [forms](https://kit.com/features/forms?utm_source=wordpress&utm_term=en_US&utm_content=readme) in Kit, choosing from a variety of designs, customisable to your branding, to turn visitors into email subscribers and support your email newsletter strategy.

Email newsletter sign up forms can be configured to:

- Choose a specific email marketing form to be displayed below a specific Page, Post or custom post type
- Turn off form embedding at both site wide and/or individual Page/Post level to control your email newsletter strategy

For greater control, Kit's email marketing subscription forms can be displayed in specific sections of your WordPress site's content, sidebars and footers by:

- Using the Kit Forms block in Gutenberg
- Using the `[convertkit]` shortcode in the Classic Editor
- Using the Form Builder block in Gutenberg, to build fully custom subscription forms directly in WordPress - perfect for following your theme's styles

Start collecting email subscribers today, building your newsletter audience and taking your email marketing to the next level.

## Form Builder Block

Kit's Form Builder block, for the WordPress block editor, gives complete control to design and customize your own newsletter subscription and email marketing forms - directly in WordPress.

With the Form Builder block, you can:

- Add fields such as first name, email address, and custom fields
- Apply tags and sequences to subscribers for powerful segmentation
- Enable reCAPTCHA protection (if configured in your Kit account)
- Style forms using block editor controls, with full support for your block theme’s CSS and styling

This makes the Form Builder block ideal for:

- Newsletter subscription forms to grow your email subscriber list
- Contact forms that connect directly to Kit
- Custom newsletter forms tailored to your email marketing strategy
- Membership signup forms for your membership site

Build forms exactly how you want them with the Form Builder block, without touching a line of code, and start collecting the right email subscribers from day one.

## Membership Sites and Membership Content Protection

Create powerful membership sites with Kit's Membership Content feature. Require email subscribers to either purchase a [Kit Product](https://kit.com/features/commerce), or subscribe for free, to access your membership content - whether that's a course, ebook, digital download, album, presets, coaching and more. 

This membership functionality transforms your WordPress site into a comprehensive membership platform. Subscribers access their membership by entering their email address, receiving a one time passcode by email and clicking the link in the email. That's it - no complex membership plugins or payment gateways to configure for your membership site.

There's no limit to the number of Kit Products you can create for your membership site, and each can be assigned to one or more WordPress Pages and Posts, instantly turning them into membership-only content for your paid subscribers. Build a thriving membership community with ease.

Whether you're creating a paid membership site, or offering free membership access, Kit's membership features provide the flexibility to monetize your content through membership subscriptions while growing your email subscriber list simultaneously.

Pair membership content with a custom signup experience built using the Form Builder block, so visitors can join your membership site directly from the same page that pitches it - no separate landing page required.

## Send Email Newsletters and Email Marketing Campaigns

Use Kit's [email marketing](https://kit.com/features/email-marketing?utm_source=wordpress&utm_term=en_US&utm_content=readme) feature to build and send email newsletters to your email subscribers and leads, with options to send email newsletters to segments of your email subscriber list.

Embed existing email newsletters on your WordPress web site, ensuring visitors never miss your email newsletter content, by:

- Using the Kit Broadcasts block in Gutenberg
- Using the `[convertkit_broadcasts]` shortcode in the Classic Editor

## Landing Pages for Email Newsletter Growth

Design [landing pages](https://kit.com/features/landing-pages?utm_source=wordpress&utm_term=en_US&utm_content=readme) in Kit's intuitive editor, choosing from a variety of landing page designs, customisable to your branding and ideal for building your email subscriber list or selling a product.

Additional landing pages can then be embedded on your WordPress web site. Simply create or edit a WordPress Page, choose the Kit landing page from the Kit meta box settings to display, and you're all set to begin growing your email subscriber list more effectively with targeted landing pages.

Landing pages are a quick way to turn visitors into email subscribers and to promote your email marketing.

## Sell Products and Membership Access

Embed buttons (or link text) to sell your Kit Products and Tip Jars in seconds - whether that's digital goods, paid email newsletters, membership access, membership-only content, music, coaching and more. Perfect for membership sites, monetization and email marketing to your paying customers.

## List Email Newsletters

Continue your email marketing strategy by automatically publishing your past email newsletters to WordPress Posts, defining a WordPress author, category and cut-off date within the Plugin's settings to keep your email subscribers informed.

Prefer to just list existing broadcasts, each linked to your Kit profile? Use the Broadcasts block or shortcode to embed your existing newsletters in any WordPress Page, Post or Custom Post Type, providing more touchpoints for your email newsletter content.

= How does the membership site feature work? =

The membership feature lets you restrict WordPress content to paying email subscribers or newsletter members. Create Products in Kit, then assign them to specific WordPress pages or posts. When email subscribers visit protected content, they're prompted to enter their email. If they've purchased the required Kit Product, they receive membership access via a magic link. No complex membership plugins needed.

= Can I segment my email subscribers for targeted newsletters? =

Absolutely! Kit provides powerful subscriber segmentation using tags. Automatically tag email subscribers based on which newsletter form they used, which links they clicked, or which Kit Products they purchased. Send targeted email newsletters to specific subscriber segments for more relevant email marketing campaigns and higher newsletter engagement rates.

= Do I need coding knowledge to use this plugin? =

No coding required! Create newsletter subscription forms, landing pages, and email campaigns using Kit's visual editors. Embed newsletter forms using native WordPress blocks or simple shortcodes. Build membership sites by selecting Products from dropdowns and manage your email subscribers from your Kit account. Even custom newsletter forms in WordPress can be built using the drag-and-drop block editor without touching code.

= How do I refresh available forms, landing pages, and tags? =

Click the refresh button next to Form, Landing Page, or Tag dropdowns when editing Pages or Posts. This syncs your latest newsletter forms and products from Kit to WordPress. You can also refresh all resources at once by navigating to Settings > Kit and clicking refresh. This ensures you can always capture email subscribers with your newest forms.

Additional integrations available through separate plugins.

= How do I display newsletter forms in specific locations? =

You have multiple options for newsletter form placement. Set site-wide defaults that display newsletter signup forms automatically below posts and pages. Override defaults on individual posts to show specific forms that attract email subscribers. Use blocks or shortcodes to embed newsletter forms within content at optimal conversion points. Add widget newsletter forms to sidebars and footers.

= Can I create free membership content for newsletter subscribers? =

Yes! You can gate content requiring only email subscription without requiring payment. This is perfect for exclusive newsletter subscriber content, free member communities, or content upgrades. Use Tag-based restrictions where entering an email and receiving membership access via magic link is all that's required. Great for building loyalty with your email subscribers.

= Does this work with my WordPress theme? =

The plugin works with any WordPress theme. Newsletter signup forms and landing pages are designed to adapt to your theme's styling. The Form Builder block uses your theme's CSS ensuring newsletter forms match your site perfectly. Inline forms blend seamlessly into content while modal, slide-in, and sticky bar newsletter forms maintain Kit's polished design.

= How do I track the growth of email subscribers and conversions? =

Track subscriber growth, newsletter form conversion rates, email campaign performance, and landing page analytics directly in your Kit dashboard. Monitor which newsletter forms convert best, which landing pages drive the most email subscribers, and which email newsletters get the highest engagement from your subscriber list. All metrics update in real-time.

= What's the difference between inline and non-inline newsletter forms? =

Inline newsletter forms embed directly within page content and scroll with the page. They're great for capturing email subscribers within blog posts. Non-inline forms include modals (popups), slide-ins (appear from corners), and sticky bars (fixed to top/bottom). Non-inline newsletter forms demand attention and often convert more visitors into email subscribers.

= Can I customize newsletter form colors and styling? =

Yes! Customize newsletter subscription forms in Kit's form editor matching your brand colors, fonts, and style. Adjust form button colors, input field styling, and background colors. For inline forms, the Form Builder block in WordPress uses your theme's styling automatically, ensuring newsletter forms blend seamlessly with your site design.

= What happens when someone subscribes to my newsletter? =

When visitors submit newsletter signup forms, they're added as email subscribers to your Kit account. You can configure forms to immediately add subscribers to your newsletter list, tag them for segmentation, or enroll them in automated email sequences. Subscribers receive welcome emails if configured, and you can start sending email newsletters immediately.

= How do membership magic links work for subscribers? =

When one of your email subscribers tries accessing protected membership content, they enter their email address. If they've purchased the required Kit Product or have the necessary tag, they receive an email containing a one-time code and magic link. Clicking the magic link or entering the code grants immediate membership access without requiring passwords.

= Can I sell digital products through membership features? =

Yes! Create Products in Kit and sell them directly to your email subscribers. Products can be one-time purchases, subscriptions, or tip jars. Assign Products to WordPress pages and posts as membership content. When newsletter subscribers purchase Products, they automatically get membership access to all associated content in WordPress.

= Do newsletter forms and landing pages slow down my site? =

No. Newsletter subscription forms load asynchronously and are optimized for performance. The plugin only loads necessary assets on pages actually displaying newsletter forms. Landing pages are hosted on Kit's servers ensuring fast load times. The lightweight codebase ensures capturing email subscribers doesn't impact your WordPress site speed.

= How many newsletter forms can I create? =

There's no limit to the number of newsletter subscription forms you can create in Kit. Design different forms for different audiences, pages, or lead magnets.

Set up recurring newsletters that send automatically on a schedule. Ensure global email subscribers receive newsletters at appropriate times for their timezone.

= What's the difference between tags and segments for email subscribers? =

Tags are labels you apply to newsletter subscribers based on interests, behavior, or characteristics. Segments are filtered views of your subscriber list based on one or more tags. Use tags to organize email subscribers, then create segments to send targeted newsletters. For example, tag subscribers as "interested in courses" then create a segment for course email marketing.

= Can I migrate existing email subscribers to Kit? =

Tag purchasers for targeted email marketing campaigns. Track purchase data for each newsletter subscriber. Send abandoned cart emails to recover lost sales. Build more value from your email subscribers over time.

= Can I create multiple membership tiers for subscribers? =

Yes! Create different Kit Products for each membership tier. Assign Products to different WordPress content. Newsletter subscribers purchase the membership tier they want and automatically get access to corresponding content. Create Bronze, Silver, Gold membership tiers each with different Products and content access for paying email subscribers.

= How do landing pages improve email subscriber conversions? =

Landing pages are specifically designed for single conversion goals like email newsletter signups. They remove navigation and distractions, focusing visitors entirely on becoming email subscribers.

Yes! The Form Builder block integrates with Google reCAPTCHA v3 if configured in your Kit account at Settings > Kit > General.
