Subscribe Block

Sign up subscribers to your site from any page, post, or widget area.

The Subscribe Block is a part of the Jetpack Blocks. See our Jetpack Blocks article to learn about the available blocks and how to activate them.

Jetpack Blocks require the Block Editor (also referred to as the Gutenberg editor). If you’ve installed the Classic Editor plugin, you will need to switch back to the Block Editor either by:

  • Deactivating the Classic Editor: Go to PluginsInstalled Plugins in your WP Admin and deactivate the Classic Editor plugin.
  • Enabling both editors: If you prefer flexibility, navigate to Settings → Writing in your WP Admin. Set Allow users to switch editors to Yes.

See Using Blocks and the Classic Editor for more details.
It may happen that an editor that comes with a custom theme or plugin prevents you from using the Block Editor. In that case, please contact the respective plugin or theme author for further assistance.

Add a Subscribe Block

To use the Subscribe block, follow these steps:

  1. Enable Jetpack’s Subscriptions feature in Jetpack Settings Newsletter.

You can customise the subscribe block by navigating to the right sidebar of the editor and selecting the Block tab.

You can adjust different layout options, such us:

  • Typography size.
  • Border radius and weight.
  • Spacing.
  • Style: split, compact, or button-only.
  • Other settings: see below.

Adjust Subscribe block settings

You can adjust the following options under the Settings tab with the gear icon ():

  • Show subscriber count: it displays your total number of subscribers alongside the form when toggled on.
  • Include social followers in count: it shows your followers from all the social networks you’ve connected to Jetpack Social.
  • Place button on new line: it moves the Subscribe button underneath the form.
  • Input placeholder text: you can add your preferred text that replaces the default “Type your email…”
  • Submit button label: you can add your preferred button text, replacing the default “Subscribe”.
  • Success message: you can add your customized message and replace the default one.

Under the Styles tab (), you can adjust the style options for the Subscribe button along with additional dimension settings:

  • Split: it gives you space/gap between your Subscribe button and text input field.
  • Compact: it lumps the text input field and the Subscribe button together.
  • Button-only: it removes the text input field and shows the Subscribe button only.

Add the Subscribe block to the Navigation block

Add the Subscribe Block to your Navigation Block to allow visitors to easily subscribe to your content:

  1. Head over to your WordPress Editor.
  2. Add the Navigation Block to your post or page.
  3. On the Navigation Block, choose the option to Add block.
  4. Add the Subscribe Block from the available list.

Add the Subscribe block at the end of each post

You can select the “Add the Subscribe Block at the end of each post” option from Jetpack Settings NewsletterSubscriptions.

Note: Since the WordPress 6.5 release, if the Block Theme is enabled, you can edit how the Subscribe block looks by clicking the “Preview and edit” link (next to the toggle label), which will take you to the Single Post Editor.
This link won’t be available if you use a classic theme or a WordPress version lower than 6.5.
