Newsletter signup block
Embed a newsletter list signup form on any WordPress page or post.
The Threadline Newsletter Signup block embeds a single-field (email) signup form for one list.
Adding it
- Edit a page or post, add a block, and search for Threadline Newsletter Signup.
- In the block's sidebar panel (Newsletter List):
- Choose a list — pick from a dropdown of your lists.
- Button label — defaults to "Subscribe"; change it to whatever you want the submit button to say.
- Publish or preview the page.
How it renders
Unlike the Forms block, there's no schema to fetch — it's always the same shape (one email field, a submit button). The rendered markup is a form with an email input and your chosen button label, plus hidden success/error message elements the frontend script shows as needed.
What happens on submit
Signing up through this block goes through the same public subscribe flow as any other
public signup — meaning it follows double opt-in:
the visitor lands as PENDING and gets a confirmation email, and only becomes
SUBSCRIBED after clicking the link in it. The block itself just shows "Check your
inbox to confirm your subscription." on successful submission — it doesn't
distinguish "confirmation pending" from "already subscribed" in its own messaging.
If the block shows a placeholder message instead of the form
Same two connection-related messages as the Forms block — "Select a list in the block settings." if nothing's picked yet, or the "Threadline is not configured…" message if the plugin isn't connected. See Troubleshooting for connection errors.
