There are many Footer Slideup forms available for AWeber, but the problem is they all charge for the script, and that is not one time fees but a monthly fee for the script.
Being a developer, I thought of creating my own, and many of my clients, as well as blog users, asked the same script from me, and so here I come with my first official WordPress plugin AWeber Footer Slideup.
Footer Slideup Form is one of the best ways to ask your user to subscribe to your list without any interruption or blocking, and this plugin does exactly that. It adds an AWeber subscribe form in the footer of your WordPress blog.
AWeber is one of the better Auto-responders in the market, and it allows you to send a series of email messages to subscribers. You can read my detailed AWeber review.
Very detailed installation instructions with screenshots to help you get started with the plugin.
Change the form settings as you normally do in step 2 of web form creation in AWeber and when you reach step 3 i.e. publish your form opt for Raw HTML version of the code and un-check the checkbox to get the unformatted basic HTML code.
Sometimes the un-formatted checkbox malfunctions and if it does not work as expected make sure you save the form and then come back to the publish page again to generate the un-formatted HTML form.
You can use the WordPress plugin interface to install the plugin or else you can download the plugin and manually upload the aweber-footer-slideup folder under the wp-content/plugins folder. Once uploaded activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
When the plugin is active you will see AWeber Footer Slideup options in the bottom left corner under the settings menu.
Click the link. The link is http://yourblogurl/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=awfs
Once you are in the admin options panel for the plugin you see 3 fields.
The tagline is the content shown as heading which can be anything you want to display a message to your user.
For Hidden AWeber Form Fields (Required) we will use the Raw HTML AWeber code. Search for Hidden Div. i.e. the code between <div style=”display: none;”> and <div> . I have marked the code as 1 in the screenshot below.
Copy everything between the div and paste it in the text area you have for Hidden AWeber Form Fields. This is the minimum you will require to do for the plugin to work.
To add the tracking image find a second hidden div (Mark 2 in the above picture) where AWeber has the image to track views of the form and calculates statistics like submissions to unique display and submission to display.
<div style=”display: none;”>
Copy the image src url and place it into the Tracking Image URL of the AWeber Webform (Optional) field.
Heading Tag Line (Optional) in the admin interface of the plugin. Leaving it blank will show the default tagline.
AWeber RAW HTML Webform tracks the form views and other stats with an image. If you would like to see how many users submit using the footer form, you need to add the unique image url of AWeber into the field value. Just near the form end tag you will see <img src=”SomeValue” border=”0″ />. Just copy the SomeValue from the HTML code and past it in Tracking Image URL of AWeber Webform. The Image URL will not be any normal jpg/gif like image.
Your plugin should support the basic hooks in the header and footer for the plugin to work. Make sure you have
