Newsletters are still an important way of sharing specific information with people who have opted to listen. Jetpack 8.9 now has an addition to the forms block<\/a> in the WordPress editor that allows you to create a newsletter subscription form. Learn how to use the option by following the directions below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that you will need to have Jetpack installed. The Jetpack installation adds the block to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should add a heading and\/or paragraph block above it in order to describe the block. If you want to change the block labels, simply click on the text and then replace the text with your own label. The grayed-out \u201crequired\u201d label can\u2019t be removed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Click on the topmost block in the form, then hover over the far left option in that block\u2019s menu. You\u2019ll then see an option to select the Parent form<\/strong>. You can also go to the top of the editor and click on Block Navigation<\/strong>. Scroll down until you find your form and select it. You will then be able to see the block menu.
