Allows visitors to quickly subscribe to your blog using only an email address.
The widget will present a text field where the visitor will enter an email address. No email confirmation is sent to the visitor, a user name based on the email address (the email without the @) is created and the password is randomly generated.
This is perfect if you want your readers to easily subscribe to your blog without the need of having an username and password. The ideia is to use the list of subscribers as a mailing to send news, updates or whatever you want to send to your readers.
You can use it together with plugins such as Subcscribe2 and WPMailing
Installing
. Download the package
. Extract it to the “plugins” folder of your wordpress
. In the Admin Panes go to “Plugins” and activate it
Usage
There are three ways to insert the quick subscribe form:
1. Widget: Go to you widgets page and activate the Quick Subscribe Widget
2. Inside a post or page: Type [quicksubscribe] inside a post or page to display the form
3. Template tag: insert the code <?php quick_subscribe_form(); ?> anywhere in your template
Go to Options > Quick Subscribe to change some options for this form.
Thanks for the cool plugin – love it!

[...] Quick Subscribe: There are probably more fully featured, better ways of doing this, but for an easy, “in WordPress” way to alert readers to new posts this one’s just dead easy. If you have a better one, let me know in the comments! [...]
Nice simple plugin actually, but had to replace the php short tags to make it work.
Hi, I’m trying to install ‘quick subscribe’ to my sidebar with code and not with widgets. I’m using the K2 theme. I tried to add the code to my sidebar.php file but it didn’t work. Strangely though, I saw in my statpress that someone was directed to my site but this subdirectory /?/robots.txt . It also said that my computer was who was directed there… This is strange because I never made a file called robots.txt, but when I go to that link, it is my homepage and ‘quick subscribe’ is there and working in my sidebar. What did I do wrong? Thank you.
I installed the plugin but it displayed an error!It does not work but instead displays a path to some wordpress file!
Hello – Do you think this could work somehow with a Feedburner Email subscribe, instead of just creating a user? I could use Subscribe2 but I’d prefer to have the simplicity of Quick Subscribe, but be activating a Feedburner email subscription.
Thanks for any help you can provide –

Hi
I installed this widget and it looked fine and allowed people to enter their email addresses. But it’s not actually sending them emails with my new posts. I have temporarily hidden it – but is there something else I am supposed to do so the emails do get sent? Also, is there a place where this widget is collecting all the email addresses people have entered so I can see them?
Thanks – Swati
Hi friend,
thank you for creating this plugin/widget.
I have installed it on my site and was wondering where I go to view the email addresses as they are added. Or do I have to integrate this with something like Subscrib2 or WPMailing.
I guess I don’t really understand what happens with the email once they subscribe.
Thank you
It only creates a user with the role ’subscriber’. So to see it you have to go to the Users list on your admin. In order to send emails you will need another plugin
Hi there,
I’m getting the same results as leogermani. Have you found a plugin to export ’subscribers’ in csv format? or a different format?

Hi,
I’ve got an error message in widgets’administration (in quicksubsribe widget) :
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘widget_quick_subscribe_control’ was given in /home/mh2/www/wp-admin/includes/widgets.php on line 177
Here is how the widget looks like : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=832757quicksubsribe_widget.jpg
Here is how the admin looks like : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=759397quicksubcribe_admin.jpg
(no custom settings are saved)
WP version : 2.8.6 ; quicksubscribe version (the last downloadable from wp.org) 1.7.1.
I really would like to use this plugin !
Thanks a lot,

Sorry : the custom settings are saved ; I can use the form in a page, using [quicksubscribe] tag ; the plugin works well. But I would rather use the widget, if possible !
Thanks !
Can anyone recommend a free email plugin to go along with this that will send the email messages? This lets people sign up but no messages are sent.
This page says, “You can use it together with plugins such as Subcscribe2 and WPMailing” but the first isn’t free and the 2nd doesn’t appear to be available.
Thanks,
Mike
Maybe you are looking for MailPress
Leo,,
I’d like to add some text above the email input box. I’m not sure if I can do this with the Quick Subscribe widget so I tried using a text sidebar widget, and added my text followed by [quicksubscribe]. Although the code works when dropped into a post or a page, it doesn’t work in the text sidebar widget. Is there any way I can get this to work? Or any way to add text to the body of the Quick Subscribe widget?
Thanks

Hi!
I am using your plugin with Wordpress 2.8.6 and it is working as it should, but i would like to know if it is possible to make this plugin only use the name before the @ as the username. (But of course use the complete email adress to send subscription email) If so, what would i replace in the php file to make this work?
Where do the stored email address reside?
Cannot complete the installation with regards to: 3. Template tag: insert the code anywhere in your template.
What template???
If you dont know what template the readme is talking about then you maybe just want to use the Widget provided in Appearance > Widgets to add the quick subscribe to your blog.
The emails are stored as users with the role of ’subscriber’
look for the line where the plugin runs a str_replace(`@`, “, …) .. something like this. Change this as you want to get only the username, but notice that doing this you might have problems with duplicated usernames.
Im afraid the only way to do this is editing the source code of the plugin by now…
Actually, I did just do the widget installation, which appears and appears to work. I don’t know where the mail address store, I did a test with my own email and I did not get notified with a test post. I presumed it was because I never completed the step three, which is the template tag install.
Thanks for your Plugins I have installed as per your installation instruction and it is looking good, but how can I make it workable.
Isn’t this plug in supposed to notify recipients of new posts? I tested it on my site http://www.dcneuro.net/wordpress and it didn’t work. I also have no idea where the email addresses store so that I may check them.
No. this plugin is not supposed to notify recipients. I does not say that it does that anywhere.
So then what does it do? Not sure what it means to “subscribe” to a blog if you are not going to be notified of new posts.
It does say that the idea is to “use the list of subscribers as a mailing to send news, updates or whatever you want to send to your readers..”. So where are the email addresses stored so that I may accomplish this?
All this plugin does is create a subscriber user for each user. It is a easy and quick way for someone to register to the blog as a regular user, but without having to enter username or choosing a password. As the description says you can combine it with other plugins to do whatever you want. I think you are looking for something like MailPress.
cheers
Leo,,
What does being a “regular user mean”? How would that be any different that someone just browsing my blog page?
Does anyone know where these email addresses are kept???

Nice simple plugin actually, but had to replace the php short tags to make it work.)))
Great,,, so how can i do that to make it works, because it’s not working at all, it’s just like a decoration to my side bar, and is this blog alive or what. i mean the admin is not answering any one of us!!!!!!!!!!!
I see where the emails are in the users section under WP admin. So from there, how do I use them? Can they be exported into a database or csv?
Like it…I am new to this and your product was very easy to apply and very useful. “Thanks”!
Just thought of something…in the event of someone wishing to stop the subscription, after signing up, how can I do it?
Okay, after testing it, I don’t like it. It looks nice, but does nto send an e-mail to people who subscribe. I can not make heads or tails of this discussion. Has ANYONE been able to use this to send subscriptions of posts? How? hukturn@netscape.net
Well, I’m new to wordpress, And I found that its a super easy, user friendly CMS. But can’t understand why people can’t understand?
This plugin is just for easy signup. There is some Subscription plugin, that send Mail to Registered users only. Most visitors find it hard to fill up the registration form but they still want to get update by Email.
To solve this problem this plugin require only a email address from visitor and made random characters for password, userid and register them as regular registered user. So you will find this user as a registered user in Admin.
Now you can send Email update to this user with other plugin like Subscribe2.
I inserted the form using the widget, but when testing it doesn’t let type in the e-mail text area. What should I do?
hi, i’ve installed quick subcribe on my website but what i got is only a list of emails. I thought this will automatically update my subscriber once their email is registered?
Where do I see the subscribers? When it says we can use it together with Subscribe2, exactly how?
The plug in isn’t generating any user. It seems a great plugin to redirect me to the home page, though. (after submit, it’s all it does)
I’m using wp 2.9.1
The code is put inside the loop.
No error is shown.
the “thanks for registering” legend could be a good way to tell how far it worked (or got broken). I don’t see any thanks legend before I get redirected to the home page (and user not created)
Where should it appear?
Thanks.
