How can I add a captcha to the sign up form?
Discover two free plugins for enhanced form security: Mailster Cool Captcha and Mailster reCaptcha™. Both are available on the WordPress Plugin repository, ensuring your forms are protected from spam.
Validating Custom Fields
Mailster allows you to create custom fields for subscriber information, such as a birthday field. By adding custom code, you can verify that subscribers are over 18, preventing those underage from signing up. The code checks the provided birthdate and displays an error message if the user is younger than 18.
Block Forms
Manage your block forms easily through the “Block Forms” menu in the Newsletter section. Create new forms with templates, customize fields, and set up options like double opt-in and GDPR compliance. You can also style forms, define placements, and use pop-ups to enhance user engagement.
How to redirect after form submission?
Mailster forms use AJAX for seamless submissions, providing users with confirmation messages. Users can redirect submissions to specific pages via form settings. Two redirection options are available: after submission (regardless of double-opt-in) and after confirmation (for double-opt-in users), allowing tailored user experiences.
Convert your Legacy Forms
Mailster 4.0 introduces a new form builder based on the WordPress block editor, requiring users to convert existing legacy forms. Legacy forms will remain functional but won’t receive updates. Users can convert forms via the “Convert to Block Form” link and may need to adjust custom CSS. Shortcodes are available for unsupported blocks.
Trigger Custom Javascript on Form Submission
Mailster Block Forms allows you to run custom JavaScript to track form submissions via Analytics. Access the “Events” section to define your code for five event types: Impression, Open, Close, Submit, and Error. Each event provides specific context and allows you to send data to Google Analytics or Plausible.
