Hi!

I want to add a button for making a "subscribe to newsletter". I've been directed to this little video showing how to add it, but the plus sign shown simply doesnt show up, mo natter where i'm at the page.

https://help.myportfolio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036484193-Button-module

There's only a plus icon in top menu for making a collection, lightroom import etc.. 

I've tried different Themes, but it's the same story. I'm using the theme Mercedes at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated a lot 🙂

Regards,

Thomas Agatz

Hi John,

Thanks for the answer. I don't want to sound rude, but.. I'm paying monthly for a Adobe package which includes Portfolio, and I've done that for 6 years now. The service is actually excellent when it comes to the Photoshop & Lightroom part of the package. When it comes to Portfolio it's like... figure it out yourself, or choose something else. If that's the attitude from Adobe, then dump the project. 

I love the Adobe package and product. Would love all products in the package had the same support, and actually an answer when creating a ticket for the portfolio team 😉

Have a great weekend 🙂

Hi @Nancy OShea 🙂

Yes, I followed the guide. Well, seems like Mailchimp have reorganised a bit. "Lists" is called Audience now, and there arn't any "General forms", so I've tried with Embedded forms. Output looks like this.

 

<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->
<link href="//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-10_7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
/* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
</style>
<div id="mc_embed_signup">

No, no, no, no, no.  Portfolio won't accept embedded code.  No copy & paste form code.  And no custom HTML, CSS or JS code allowed.  

 

You need a hosted signup form that resides on MailChimp's servers. Simple as that.  See MailChimp help for details.

https://mailchimp.com/help/create-a-hosted-signup-form/

 

Then use the MailChimp URL in your Portfolio Link Panel.

 

Does that make more sense now?
