= What's the difference between inline and non-inline newsletter forms? = |
| 198 |
|
| 199 |
Inline newsletter forms embed directly within page content and scroll with the page. They're great for email subscriber capture within blog posts.

| 202 |
|

| 204 |
|
| 205 |
= What happens when someone subscribes to my newsletter? = |
| 206 |
|
| 207 |
When visitors submit newsletter signup forms, they're added as email subscribers to your Kit account.

| 212 |
|
| 213 |
= Can I sell digital products through membership features? = |

|
| 217 |
= Do newsletter forms slow down my site? = |
| 218 |
|
| 219 |
No. Newsletter subscription forms load asynchronously and are optimized for performance. The plugin only loads necessary assets on pages actually displaying newsletter forms.

| 229 |
= What's the difference between tags and segments for email subscribers? = |
| 230 |
|
| 231 |
Tags are labels you apply to newsletter subscribers based on interests, behavior, or characteristics. Segments are filtered views of your subscriber list based on one or more tags. Use tags to organize email subscribers, then create segments to send targeted newsletters. For example, tag subscribers as "interested in courses" then create a segment for course email marketing. |

|
| 249 |

= Does the Form Builder block work with Kit tags and sequences? = |
| 294 |
|
| 295 |
Absolutely! When building newsletter subscription forms with the Form Builder block, you can assign Kit tags to segment email subscribers automatically. Subscribe new email addresses to specific Kit sequences to trigger automated email marketing campaigns. Configure reCAPTCHA protection if enabled in your Kit account. Form Builder newsletter forms have full integration with Kit's email subscriber management features. |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
= How do I add a Form Builder newsletter form to my WordPress site? = |
| 298 |
|
| 299 |
In the WordPress block editor, click the plus icon to add a new block and search for "Kit Form Builder." Add the block to your page or post. Configure your email newsletter form by adding fields like email and first name. Customize the styling, colors, and spacing to match your theme. Optionally assign tags or sequences for email subscriber segmentation. Publish to start capturing email subscribers with your custom newsletter form. |
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
= Can Form Builder newsletter forms collect custom subscriber data? = |
| 302 |
|
| 303 |
Yes! The Form Builder block supports custom fields you've created in your Kit account. Add custom fields to collect specific information from email newsletter subscribers like job titles, company names, interests, or any data relevant to your email marketing strategy. Custom field data syncs to Kit automatically, enabling advanced email subscriber segmentation and personalized newsletter campaigns. |
| 304 |
|
| 305 |
= Are Form Builder newsletter forms mobile responsive? = |
| 306 |
|
| 307 |
All Form Builder newsletter subscription forms are automatically mobile responsive. Forms adapt to screen sizes ensuring email subscribers can easily sign up on phones and tablets. The Form Builder block uses responsive WordPress patterns and follows your theme's mobile styling. Test newsletter forms on multiple devices to verify the optimal email subscriber experience across all screen sizes. |
| 308 |
|
| 309 |
= Can I use the Form Builder block for contact forms and email subscribers? = |
| 310 |
|
| 311 |
Yes! The Form Builder block works as both a newsletter subscription form and a contact form. Collect email addresses and additional information from visitors. When someone submits a Form Builder form, they're automatically added as email subscribers to your Kit account and can be tagged or added to sequences. This makes Form Builder perfect for dual-purpose forms capturing both contacts and newsletter subscribers. |
| 312 |
|
| 313 |
= Does the Form Builder block support spam protection for newsletter signups? = |
| 314 |
|
| 315 |
Yes! The Form Builder block integrates with Google reCAPTCHA v3 if configured in your Kit account at Settings > Kit > General. This protects your email newsletter forms from bot submissions and fake email subscribers. reCAPTCHA runs invisibly in the background, ensuring legitimate newsletter subscribers have a smooth signup experience while blocking spam from polluting your email list. |
| 316 |
|
| 317 |
= How does the Form Builder block handle newsletter form styling? = |
| 318 |
|
| 319 |
The Form Builder block uses your WordPress theme's CSS by default, ensuring newsletter subscription forms match your site design automatically. You can then customize individual elements including button colors, input field borders, label typography, and spacing. The block provides intuitive controls in the WordPress editor sidebar letting you style email newsletter forms visually without touching code while maintaining theme consistency. |
| 320 |
|
| 321 |
= Can I view Form Builder newsletter form submissions in WordPress? = |
| 322 |
|
| 323 |
Yes! Navigate to Settings > Kit > Form Entries to view all submissions from Form Builder newsletter forms. Search entries by email address, filter by submission date or API result, and export subscriber data as CSV files. This gives you a WordPress-based view of email newsletter signups alongside Kit's subscriber management, perfect for tracking email subscriber acquisition and form performance. |
