## Description
[NewsletterScriv](https://newsletterscriv.com) is email for authors. This plugin
puts your NewsletterScriv signup forms on your own WordPress site without touching
code:
* **Connect once** — paste your NewsletterScriv API key under Settings NewsletterScriv
and every screen picks up your forms **by name**. No ids to hunt for.
* **A block** — add “NewsletterScriv Form” wherever the form should appear and
choose your form from a menu. It sizes itself to its content and wears the colors
you set in the form’s Customize editor.
* **A shortcode** — for classic editors, Text widgets, page builders, and theme
templates. Settings NewsletterScriv lists every form with its shortcode ready
to copy, so the id is copied rather than looked up.
* **A site-wide pop-up** — pick a form in Settings NewsletterScriv and it appears
in a centered overlay after a delay you control.
The pop-up is polite by design: visitors who close it aren’t asked again for two
weeks (you choose the number), and visitors who subscribe are never asked again.
It closes on the ×, a click outside, or the Escape key.
An embedded form is the same form as your hosted NewsletterScriv page: same consent
checkbox and wording, same double opt-in setting, same reader-magnet delivery, same
bot defences.
#### External service: NewsletterScriv
This plugin is an integration for **NewsletterScriv**, an email service operated
by GlyphStack LLC. The plugin displays forms that live in your NewsletterScriv account,
so it must communicate with that service. It does not connect to anything else,
and it sets no third-party cookies — the pop-up’s memory is kept in the visitor’s
own browser (localStorage) on your site.
There are exactly two points of contact:
1. **Displaying a form (visitors).** Each form is shown in an iframe loaded from `
https://newsletterscriv.com/embed/`. This happens in the visitor’s
browser whenever a page containing one of your forms is viewed, and it is how the
form is delivered. As with loading any page, NewsletterScriv receives the request—
including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent — and, if the visitor
subscribes, the details they type into the form. No data about the visitor is collected
by this plugin itself.
2. **Reading your form list (site administrators, optional).** If you paste a NewsletterScriv
API key under Settings NewsletterScriv, your site sends that key to `https://newsletterscriv.
com/api/v1/forms` to retrieve the names and ids of the forms in your account, so
the block and settings screens can offer a menu instead of asking you for an id.
This is a server-to-server request made only in the WordPress admin; the key is
never sent to the browser or written into your pages. Leave the key empty and this
request is never made — you can enter form ids by hand instead.

A NewsletterScriv account is required for this plugin to display anything. The script
that builds the form is bundled with the plugin and served from your own site.

## Installation
1. In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins Add New**, search for “NewsletterScriv
Forms”, and click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
2. In your NewsletterScriv dashboard, create an API key under **Account settings
API keys**. Paste it into **Settings NewsletterScriv** and press Save changes —
you’ll see “✓ Connected”.
3. Add the **NewsletterScriv Form** block to a page and pick your form from the menu(
or use the shortcode), and/or choose a pop-up form under **Settings NewsletterScriv**.
Prefer not to connect? You can still paste a form id by hand — it’s on each form’s**
Put this form on your website** card in your dashboard.
## FAQ
### Do I need a NewsletterScriv account?
Yes. The plugin displays signup forms that live in your NewsletterScriv account,
so it needs an account to have something to show.
### How do I connect my account?
Create an API key in your NewsletterScriv dashboard under **Account settings API
keys**, then paste it into **Settings NewsletterScriv**. Once connected, the block
and the pop-up settings list your forms by name — you never need a form id.
### Where do I get the shortcode for a form?
**Settings NewsletterScriv**, under “Putting a form on a page”. Once your account
is connected, every form in it is listed there with its shortcode already assembled—
press **Copy** and paste it into a page, a Text widget, or your page builder. You
never have to find the form’s id.
### Can I use it without an API key?
Yes. Every block and shortcode accepts a form id directly. You’ll find the id on
each form’s **Put this form on your website** card in your dashboard (it’s also
the tail end of the form’s hosted link).
### Is my API key safe?
The key is stored on your own WordPress server and only ever used server-to-server
to read your form list. It is never sent to the browser or written into your pages.
### Does the pop-up nag repeat visitors?
No. Closing it starts a quiet period (14 days unless you change it), and subscribing
silences it permanently on that device.
### Does this set cookies?
No third-party cookies. The pop-up remembers “closed” and “subscribed” in the visitor’s
own localStorage, on your site.
### Can I show different forms on different pages?
Yes — each block or shortcode names its own form, so every page (and every entry
point) can start its own welcome automation.

## Changelog
#### 1.4.3
* The pop-up’s close button is now clearly visible against both light and dark
forms, and no longer inherits your theme’s button styling (which could stretch
it out of shape).
#### 1.4.2
* Your saved API key is no longer displayed on the settings screen. It shows as`
nsk_live_••••••••` with the last four characters, so a screenshot or a screen-
share can’t give it away. Leave the field blank to keep the saved key, paste
a new one to replace it, or tick “Remove the saved key” to disconnect.
#### 1.4.1
* The plugin’s home page link now opens the guide directly, instead of asking you
to sign in first.
#### 1.4.0
* Settings NewsletterScriv now lists every form in your account with its shortcode
ready to copy. Embedding a form outside the block editor — a classic editor,
a Text widget, a page builder — no longer means finding a form id.
#### 1.3.0
* The embed script now ships inside the plugin and is served from your own site
instead of being fetched from newsletterscriv.com.
* The script tag now carries an explicit version, so browsers pick up changes on
upgrade.
#### 1.2.0
* Added a “View details” panel showing what changed in each release.
#### 1.1.0
* Connect your NewsletterScriv account with an API key and pick forms from a menu—
in the block and in the pop-up/default-form settings. No more copying form ids.
Pasting an id by hand still works.
#### 1.0.0
* First release: inline form block, shortcode, site-wide pop-up settings.
