Hey there, David!
The easiest way to do that sort of thing is to include the shortcode for the plugin. Here’s the instructions from the “Installation” page:
If you are using WordPress v2.8 or higher, you can use the short-code:
[mailchimpsf_form]
If you are adding it inside a php code block, pop this in:
mailchimpSF_signup_form();
Or, if you are dropping it in between a bunch of HTML, use this:
<?php mailchimpSF_signup_form(); ?>
Let us know if we can assist in any other way!
Cheers
thanks for the reply 🙂
i am a total novice at web coding. when i insert the short-code [mailchimpsf_form] at the bottom of my post, i get a version of the form ,but with no kind of formatting 🙁 the subscribe button is all over the place.
is it possible to insert into my post a version of the form that looks just like the widget form? here’s the site as it stands, see how the form appears on the top right:

thanks!
Hey again, David!
When I look at my WordPress setup, the shortcode should inherit any styling applied to the normal widget area. So, if I use MailChimp’s built in styling, I can change the background color in both:

Any styling that’s applied through CSS should also carry over despite the use of shortcodes, as well:

Any way you could post a screenshot of what you’re seeing, as I wasn’t able to find the form within the footer of your posts, I’m afraid. 🙁
Cheers
