Description

Easy Sign Up is a WordPress Plug-in that collects e-mail addresses and then redirects the visitor to a url. The plug-in generates a customizable thank you email that’s sent to the visitor and the visitor’s email and name are sent to an email address of your choosing. Possible use is collecting email address for a newsletter, or leads for your sales force before redirecting to a brochure.

Main Functions

  • Email address collection
  • User redirection
  • Auto-responder
  • Lead collection

Demo Page

Installation

  • Best way to install is through your wordpress admin area
  • Upload the easy_sign_up folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
    • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
    • Change the options under Tools >Easy Sign Up

Changelog

1.2

  • Bug fix: Fixed a problem with a clash between the Easy Sign Up plugin and the Atahualpa Theme.
  • Added the form as a widget.
  • Changed the validation script to jQuery validation plug-in 1.7
  • Added form_id as an optional attribute to the short code, this will allow the form to be in more then one area of your page without confusing the form validation script.

Note that you need to make your id one word i.e. form_id=”my_id” OR form_id=”myID” is correct, But form_id=”My ID” is wrong.

1.1

Removed direct access to the wp-config.php file. Added custom tag to the auto reply email. If you would like to include the name person who signed up in the Thank You Email just paste #fullname# into the Thank You Email text field where you’d like to see it.

    Hi!
    The form does not look like the one shown above. How can I alter the styles?

    • Green Web says:

      Hi Alexis – the way your theme is set up you need to customize the sign up form to fit the top widget box – you can do this via the themes CSS in its style.css file or if you would prefer I can customize the plugin for your site for a small fee.

    I have been using the plugin for a few weeks now. I am ready to send out a message to all the people who have signed up. Please let me know where can I find the email addresses of the people that have signed up. Thanks

    • Rew says:

      Hi Glen, the plug in sends the name and email address to the WordPress installation’s default email address or the email address set up in the options. It is up to the user what they do with that info. I would suggest that you create an email filter or rule that dumps the easy sign up emails into a folder.

    Hi there, installed your plug-in, but it doesn’t appear to work (haven’t received emails after several test tries). Any ideas?

    • Rew says:

      Seth – haven’t run into that one yet, the plugin uses the php mail() function perhaps the your host’s server has that disabled for security reasons?

    Where would I find all the e-mails that have been collected through the sign up?

    Hi! What would be the php-code to implement this tool in my sidebar, instead of using [easy_sign_up] on a post or a page?

    • Andy says:
      Aug 05, 10 at 10:37 am

      Philipp – you can use the easy sign up widget

        I sure would, if my theme would be widget ready. I created it by myself though and I have no clue how to make it widget ready. Further I’m not even sure if I want my theme to support widgets, I’m not that much of a fan of draggin and droppin things around in the backend, I prefer coding everything by myself instead.

        So ya…is there a snippet which does what I want?

        Cheers for your fast reply :) Appreciate that!

    Hi! Is there a double-opt-in possibility in the plugin?

    Can i add additional box as an option for my visitors to leave a comment?

    When I enter a test Name and email address and click Send, it goes to a page but nothing shows up. This is the url:

    Hello,
    I would like to change the Easy Sign Up label on the widget. I know you provide the code to change the title, but I don’t know where to place it in the editor. Where should it go?
    thanks for the plugin.

    I’ve implemented the plugin and it’s not sending notification emails to subscribers. I’m using GoDaddy.com wordpress specific hosting and have an email into them to make sure it supports the php mail() function…but from Google searches it seems it does. Any suggestions?

    Quick question regarding Redirection’s url. I want to create a generic page with a thank you for registering with us note, and put the link to that page under the Redirection’s url. Once I put in the name and email address in the sign up fields, I am going to be redirected to that page that says Thank you for registering. However, all of my pages are listed on the horizontal menu, so how do I make that page, so that I do not have it listed on the horizontal menu, but it would be accessible through the redirection process. I tried to make the page Private, but it shows big Private text in the header.

    Hi. Thanks for plugin, maybe it sounds stupid, but I can’t find where the emails and names are saved, any advice please.

  13. Theodore says:

    The plugin is awesome. Does everything perfectly. My only issue is with the emails it sends. The name showing on the FROM field in the email client is anything but plain English :-) It shows some weird characthers that do not classify as any spoken human language. The email in the FROM field shows right; everything works perfectly except the name showing in the FRO< field. I have tried it in may email clients but issue remains.
    I am not sure whether this is a plugin issue or whether you have come accross it before.

    Any ideas?

    many many thanx for your time

      Thanks Theodore – I have never run into your issue until now.
      The only thing I can think is that it may be a corruption in the php file. Have you tried to delete it and reinstall ?

    Hey mate, great plugin, just what I want. Quick question though, is it possible to change the form names e.g. I want to change “name” to “name and student No.”. Is this possible?

    Cheers

    • Greenville Web says:

      Hi Peter – you can hack it using the following CSS, add this to your theme’s style sheet.

      /* copy from here  */
  label[for="second_from_name"]:after {
      content:" and student No.";
  }
/* to here */

      Cheers!

    If anyone else has the problem of not finding the emails when you do a test, check your spam folder, they seem to end up in there.

    Hi, Thanks for the excellent plugin. I’m having problem sending email. My host provider requires SMTP authentication. So I set that up and verified emails are being sent- using plugin WP-Mail-SMTP. But now when I try to use your plugin that I setup on this web page…
    http://www.windows-password-reset.com/blog/

    It displays this error…

    Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 2525, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\hostingspaces\vvillage\windows-password-reset.com\wwwroot\blog\wp-content\plugins\easy-sign-up\easy_sign_up_process.php on line 60

    Hi Andrew,
    Any idea about the above problem I’m having? I would like to use the plugin buy ya’ coffee :)

  18. windows password reset says:
    Sep 29, 10 at 11:35 pm

    Thank you, that worked! Hope you enjoy coffee :) Is there any plan to provide status information when the user presses the ‘Send’ button? Maybe append, “Message sent” to the title? Just a thought. Anyway thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
    Best regards.

    • Greenville Web says:

      Thanks for that, your the first! Did mean appending “Message sent” to the page you redirect the user too? This may be redundant for some people if they redirect to a thank you page.

  19. rob says:
    Sep 30, 10 at 1:26 pm

    Urr, my mistake never mind. I’ve got the url redirect going right back to the same page. I forgot to setup it up. Never mind- re: appending “Message sent”.

    Thanks again for updating the plugin!

  20. Melanie says:

    I love this plugin. Even a novice like me can run it with the widget. I want to use the form to capture leads. Is there any way to add a field for a phone number?

    Thanks so much for this!
