Newbie Aweber Question

by Ryan Sterling
9 replies
I know the answer is right in front of my eyes but I can't seem to find it.

I want to add the HTML code from my Aweber account to an opt in template I have on my WP Theme. I can find the code for the web form I created on Aweber but I'm not too fond of their templates.

Any help would be appreciated.

    What sort of opt in template are you using? Is it created by a plugin?

    There are certainly some plugins out there that can help you create an optin form, such as the (free) one provided my MaxBlogPress.

    There is a plugin that comes with my WP Review Theme. I will take a look at MaxBlogPress also.

    I can't seem to find the code to add to this opt in template in Aweber.

      Ahhh - ok gotcha (I think - lol)

      Assuming you've selected your list (inside Aweber control panel) - its "Web Forms" --> click on "publish" (for a given form you've created - OR click "create a new web form" if you don't have one yet)

      Should bring up the page with the code.

      Hope that helps (i.e. was what you were asking for - lol)

        I've got that part down pat. I want to add the code to my opt in template. If I add that code it will give me the Aweber template.

          I am also not a code expert, but I'd like to suggest a solution for you.
          Create a new form, strip the header, footer, privacy statements, leaving only the body (labels and inputs) and the button.

          From the drop-down on the left, select "body", click on the background and select "no color". Then resize and arrange the elements of the body to your liking (changing fonts if required to match your theme).

          Select "submit button" from the drop-down. If you have your own button image, click "Advanced" on the right and indicate the url of the button. Or just change the color, size, font, and label of the button to what you need.

          This is the closest solution I can offer without messing up with the code.

          LoL - yeah that's what I thought the first time! (referring to Ryan's last reply)

          Interesting question - most opt-in form creators I've dealt with simply take the entire code and that's that (but again, I typically use a plugin if I don't want it to look like the actual Aweber form I've created).

          Did you try leaving all the style code out and simply using the script section? I'm no technical pro - so take that advice with a grain of salt - but that's likely what I would try.

    Hello,
    This is my very first post in warrior forum! Thought I'd share. I am been reading a bit for about a year regarding internet marketing and have currently set up a product review site for new internet marketing products. Anyways, I wanted to know what sort of opt-in plugin do you use? By the way, I wish I have joined warrior forum a long time ago.. seems to be the hub to be involved in when it comes to sharing ideas about making money online!

    Hey Ryan, you need to have these 2 fields in your html form code -

    <input name="listname" value="list name" type="hidden">
    <input name="redirect" value="your confirm url" type="hidden">

    You need to specify your list name and your confirm url.
