I want to add a piece of code into my form (or page) content area. For example, I have a "No Sidebar" page that is an "About Us" but I would like to drop a "Sign up for our Newsletter" box into the content area; maybe on the right, for example. But I want the content to flow around the box. In other words it would be the same as having an image in my content but it's a piece of code instead.
How?
Thanks
Your About Us” page please.
I'd like to take a look.
Hi,
Sorry but I haven't built it yet. Just want to know how to do it. I think that answer is to find a plugin with a shortcode that I can drop into my content area.
No worries.
Post this when you have got the site up and i'll give you the solution.
Hey Brad, you've helped me out before and Im working on a new project and had the same question. Using the Innov8tive theme for my blog and I was able to figure out how to get my newsletter box to appear below posts but I want it to appear below my About page. I know its some code I have to put in the php file but just not sure what it is

What great timing. I just wrote about this for another community member.

Hey Brad,
I read the other post and I had some follow up questions. Here is the code I have at the bottom of my themes php file that I grabbed based on a tutorial Brian Gardener posted on the eNews extended plugin
//* Add the newsletter widget after the post content add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'custom_add_newsletter_box' ); function custom_add_newsletter_box() { if ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) genesis_widget_area( 'newsletter', array( 'before' => '<div id="newsletter">', ) ); }So I want to add my newsletter sign up box after my about page and my contact me page ( possibly some other pages in the future but we'll start there for now). What code would I put in the php file ?
Thanks again !
Change the line for the conditional tag to an array:
if ( is_singular( 'post' ) )
To this:
if (is_page( array( 'about-me', 'contact-me' ) ) )
Use the page slug or page i.d's
If it doesn't work, try removing the single quotes and use the page i.d.
if ( is_page( array( 007, 1180 ) ) )
Hey again
Thanks for your help with this. I would like to keep my subscription box below my posts AND have it below the contact me and about page. So would it look like this:
//* Add the newsletter widget after the post content
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'custom_add_newsletter_box' );
function custom_add_newsletter_box() {
if ( is_singular( 'post' ) )
if (is_page( array( 'about', 'contact-me' ) ) )
genesis_widget_area( 'newsletter', array(
'before' => '<div id="newsletter">',
) );
}
`
Thanks again. Really appreciate your input
This Conditional Tag checks if the current sidebar has active widgets.

Thanks for the info, Brad. I was just trying to figure out what the call to dynamic_sidebar did. In your example it doesn't look like it's doing anything---or am I missing something. The codex doc says that it returns true/false.
If its a single post or one of 2 pages, it outputs the content of sidebar widget named newsletter. Without the dynamic_sidebar() function, the widget would not work so its essential.
Just to clarify ( I just want to make sure I dont screw up my php file so sorry for the questions
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'custom_add_newsletter_box' ); function custom_add_newsletter_box() { if ( is_singular( 'post' ) || is_page( array( 'about-me', 'contact-me' ) ) ) genesis_widget_area( 'newsletter', array( 'before' => '<div id="newsletter">', ) ); } genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'newsletter', 'name' => __( 'Newsletter', 'wpsitesdotnet' ), 'description' => __( 'Newsletter widget.', 'wpsitesdotnet' ) ) ); /** * @author Brad Dalton - WP Sites * @example add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'custom_add_newsletter_box' ); function custom_add_newsletter_box() { if ( is_singular( 'post' ) || is_page( array( 'about-me', 'contact-me' ) ) ) genesis_widget_area( 'newsletter', array( 'before' => '<div id="newsletter">', ) ); }instead of wpsitesdotnet - I replace this with my site cleaneatingsimplifieddotcom ?
instead of @author Brad Dalton - @author Chrissy Marquardt - Clean Eating Simplified
instead of @example http://wp.me/p1Tu0-9Jr - @link http://cleaneatingsimplified.com/about/
@link http://cleaneatingsimplified.com/contact-meHere is where I am unclear. I am not sure what I am supposed to be putting here ? What do I replace this with - is it the link to my about page and my contact page ? Do I leave it as @example ? Do I put it twice ?
Thanks !
You can replace the about' and contact-me words with the page i'd's for those 2 pages which you can grab from the body class in the source code. Simply right click each page and view source code to find it.
