Newsletter Widget

Drop your Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Substack, or Beehiiv form into a styled wrapper that matches the rest of the theme.

Updated May 2026 · 1 min read

The Newsletter Widget is intentionally simple: it doesn't try to be an email service provider, it just wraps the form HTML you already have from your ESP in a styled card that matches the theme.

Setup

From your ESP, copy the embed code for your signup form. Then in WordPress:

  1. Go to Appearance → Widgets.
  2. Add the Food Recipes Pro: Newsletter widget to your sidebar or footer.
  3. Paste your form HTML in the Form HTML field.
  4. Optionally customize the heading, description, and button label.

Supported services

Anything that gives you embeddable form HTML works: Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite, Substack, Beehiiv, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, and dozens more.

Custom styling

The widget wraps your form in a container with the class frpro-newsletter. To style it differently, override the CSS:

.frpro-newsletter {
    background: var(--accent-soft);
    border-radius: 12px;
    padding: 32px;
}
.frpro-newsletter input[type="email"] {
    border: 2px solid var(--ink);
}

Placement ideas

  • Sidebar — classic placement, always visible while reading.
  • After post content — readers who finished an article are warm leads.
  • Footer — last call for visitors leaving the site.
