Hello bloggers, welcome to K2 blogging and in this video, I will show you how you can
0:04
design a section like this to your WordPress website. So as you can see, I have added social media links here and I have added a little bit of
0:12
text and I have added the email box like this so that user can easily enter the email address
0:20
and subscribe to your blog and it will integrate your MailChimp account and whenever someone
0:24
put the email address, it will add that email address to your MailChimp account
0:29
So how you can do that? So here I am using the Cadence blog plugin to achieve this
0:35
So you can also do it very easily in your WordPress website using the Cadence blog plugin
0:41
So let me just go to my dashboard and let me just open the pages here and let me just
0:48
create a new page to show this how it works. So I have opened a blank page here and let's design that section
0:55
So for this, I will click on the plus icon and I will simply search for row layout
1:01
And here as you can see, there is three sections in this row layout. So I will simply choose three equal row layout and I can adjust the width like 25% for this
1:12
first section and I can adjust something like 30% for the second section
1:20
And I will adjust width like 45% for the third section. So let me just add the social icon here
1:28
So I will simply search for icon or you can either use this icon or you can use the social icon
1:35
So in that case, let me just use this icon here and I will click on show more settings
1:41
and I will select it and increase the number of icons here
1:46
Now I will click on icon number one and I can simply search for my favorite social media icons
1:53
So let's search for Facebook, although I don't have a Facebook account
1:58
Okay, so let's add the Facebook icon here. Now let's change the second icon like Twitter
2:09
And let's click on icon three and let's add icon like YouTube
2:14
Okay, I have added three icons and you can add the link of this icon here, here in the
2:20
link field. And you can also open this link in a new tab
2:24
So let me just add some blank link here. So let's select icon two, let's add the link and I can open this link in a new tab
2:36
So social media links should be opened in a new tab. So let's select here, open this in a new tab
2:45
Okay, now I have added the social media icons. You can change the icon color from here like this
2:55
Now let's add the second section. So for this, I will use the advanced text field here
3:01
So I will use the advanced text here and I will type like sign up to get access to actionable tips
3:07
So let me just add this sign up to get actionable tips in your email box
3:25
Like that, and I will add a form here in the third section
3:30
So I will simply search for form here and I will add the form
3:34
I will delete the name field, I will delete the message field and let's select the email
3:40
field here and I will select this option and I will uncheck the show label and I will add
3:48
a placeholder. So I will add a placeholder like email address and let's decrease the column width to something
4:02
like 50% or let's say 60% here. Now let's close the email setting here and I will simply search for submit style here
4:17
Now let's change the column width. So as we have set the column width of email address to 60%, here for button, I will select
4:24
the 40%. Okay, now the submit button is added like this, but it will not properly aligned here
4:33
So let's change it to something like medium here and I will select the full here
4:41
Now let's select this section here and I will select align middle
4:46
Okay, now let's select the whole section here and let me just use the inner content width
4:54
and I will select full width and I also select the whole page as full width
5:01
Now let's click on save draft here. Now I also add a background color to this whole row layout section
5:08
So I will select background setting here and I can add a background color like this
5:14
So let's add the background color here and you can also select the text and change the
5:21
color to white. Okay, now the section is added. Let me just select it to align middle
5:29
Now let's drag it a little bit here. So let's change it to 20% from here
5:38
Now let's click on save draft here. Now let's click on preview and we have to add a padding from the top and bottom here
5:48
So let's click on here and let's top padding to something like 40 and bottom padding to 40
5:56
Okay, now the padding is set to 40 and you can also reduce this bottom section here
6:05
So let's add a demo section at the top so that it will stick to the footer here
6:12
So I will click on design library here and let's add a demo section from here
6:19
So let's add the hero section here. Okay, now let's make it to the top here and let's add another section after it
6:32
So let's insert after here and let me just add a spacer here or let's add a row layout
6:41
here and let's make the padding. So let's 50 and let's add the bottom padding to 50
6:51
So let's check how it looks in the front end. Okay, so there is a space below the section
7:02
So what I can do is add negative padding, sorry, add negative margin here
7:08
So let's add a negative margin in the bottom. So let's add a minus 27 and you can also disable a settings like content vertical padding
7:21
So let's disable it. Now let's save the draft. Now let's preview this section
7:28
Okay, I think we need to add more negative padding here. So let's select this one, select, let's change it to like 29 and let's change it to like
7:41
something 50 and top to 50. Okay, now let's preview this section again
7:51
As you can see, we have almost done it. So we need to let's add something like minus 32 pixel padding
8:05
Okay, as you can see, now it is completely stick to the footer section
8:10
So we need to fix this section. Submit style is not showing in the same alignment with the email address
8:18
So we need to fix this section. So to fix this issue, to make it align center, you need to go to your edit page here and
8:28
you need to select the form here. Now let's close this one and here you will see this option filled style
8:35
So just select this filled style option here. And here you will see this option filled row gap
8:41
So by default, it is set to some value. So we need to make it zero
8:47
So you need to find this option under the filled style here in the form and then you
8:54
need to make the filled row gap to zero. So now let's save this draft and let me just preview this again
9:03
Now scroll down and as you can see, it is now perfectly aligned to the center of email address
9:09
So in this way, you can design a section like this and let me just show you what are the
9:15
more changes needed. So you can customize the button here and you can add more social links here
9:22
So let's select the submit style here and let me just change the submit to subscribe
9:28
and I can change the input color to white and change the background color to this red here
9:37
So sorry, I have selected the email field here. So I need to select the submit style here and let's change the color to white and add
9:50
the background color to red and in hover section, let's add the background color to something
9:55
like black. So when I hover this, it will show a black background and for this, I will add a hover
10:02
border color. So let's add white. So let's change the border width to one pixel like that and as you can see, the border color
10:16
is now shown and you can also adjust the width of this section
10:22
So let's make it 50%. Let's change it to 30% and let's add this to 20% and let's change the icon color from
10:31
here or let's keep it as white. So it will look good here
10:47
So you can also add more icons by clicking on this button here like this
10:52
So let's save the draft and let's preview this here. And as you can see, it is now perfectly aligned and looking good
11:02
Now let's check it for mobile here. So as you can see, in mobile view, the text is showing in left align, so you can make
11:10
it center align here in mobile devices. So for this, you can just select this whole row layout and click on the mobile alignment
11:18
here and here you can select this option and under the mobile tab, you need to click on
11:26
center align. Now let's click on save draft and let's preview this
11:35
And as you can see, the text is now in center align and the icons are in center align and
11:40
it is looking quite good in mobile devices. Okay, now we have completed the design
11:46
Now it's time to integrate this form with MailChimp. So you can easily do that just by going to the edit page here and just select the form here
11:57
So let's change it to desktop mode here first. Let's select the form here and here you will see this option action after submit
12:05
So instead of email, you can select MailChimp here. And here one thing to note that to add MailChimp, you need to get the pro version of the cadence
12:15
blocks plugin. And in free version, you can get something like a mellow light or sand in blue
12:21
I think I'm not sure about that. So to add MailChimp just select the MailChimp here in the action after submit
12:29
And let's scroll down and here you will see this option MailChimp settings
12:34
So here you need to get the API from your MailChimp. So I have discussed this in my previous video, you can get the link in the description
12:44
And then here you need to select the audience from here. And here you can select also tag here
12:50
Let's click on required developed team and in email field, you need to select the email
12:55
field here. So now the setup is done. And whenever someone enter the email address and click on subscribe button, it will get
13:04
the email and add it to your MailChimp subscription list. And to add MailChimp, you need to get the pro version of cadence blocks plugin
13:12
Otherwise, you can use some plugins like MailChimp to design a form like this and edit instead
13:19
of cadence block plugin. So if you have any doubt regarding this, then you can ask me in the comment section
