MC4WP: Mailchimp Top Bar – Email Subscribe Notification Bar

FAQ

Can I use this Mailchimp subscribe bar on specific pages only?

Yes, you can easily disable the notification bar on certain pages using a filter. For example, if you only want to load the Top Bar on your blog post pages, you can add this to your theme:

add_filter( 'mctb_show_bar', function( $show ) {
    return is_single();
} );

Another example, this only loads the email capture bar on your “contact” page:

add_filter( 'mctb_show_bar', function( $show ) {
    return is_page('contact');
} );

Have a look at the Conditional Tags page for all accepted functions.

Is it possible to capture names in the notification bar?

Absolutely! You can add a name field to your Mailchimp top bar by using a simple code snippet to display the field and send the data to your audience.

add_action( 'mctb_before_submit_button', function() {
    echo '<input type="text" name="NAME" placeholder="Your name" />';
});

add_filter( 'mctb_subscriber_data', function( $subscriber ) {
    if( ! empty( $_POST['NAME'] ) ) {
        $subscriber->merge_fields['NAME'] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['NAME'] );
    }

    return $subscriber;
});

How can I hide the email capture bar on mobile devices?

If you prefer not to show the notification bar on smaller screens, you can hide it using custom CSS. Adding the following CSS to your site will hide the bar on all screens smaller than 600px:

@media( max-width: 600px ) {
    #mailchimp-top-bar { display: none !important; }
}
