Adding a MailerPress Form with Your Page Builder to Collect Emails

MailerPress offers a flexible shortcode system that allows you to easily embed forms anywhere on your WordPress site. Whether you’re using a page builder like Elementor or Bricks Builder, inserting a form is as simple as adding the shortcode to your preferred module or widget.

For developers, the shortcode can also be used directly within PHP templates, giving you full control over form placement and customization.

This versatility ensures that you can capture emails and grow your audience seamlessly, no matter your workflow or technical setup.

Elementor user? Since version 1.2 of MailerPress Pro, you can directly use our integration with our MailerPress Form block for more convenience and flexibility.

We strongly recommend to enable the double opt-in feature before embedding a form into your site to capture emails.
