Allowing your visitors to subscribe to your newsletter should be easy. With this plugin, it finally is.
This plugins helps you grow your email list in Mailchimp. You can use it to create good looking and accessible sign-up forms or integrate with any other existing form on your WordPress site, like your contact, comment or checkout form.
Seamless integration with the following plugins:
WP Super Cache generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.
99% of your visitors will be served static html files. One cached file can be served thousands of times. Other visitors will be served custom cached files tailored to their visit. If they are logged in, or have left comments those details will be displayed and cached for them.
The plugin serves cached files in 3 ways (ranked by speed):
Expert. The fastest method is by using Apache mod_rewrite (or whatever similar module your web server supports) to serve “supercached” static html files. This completely bypasses PHP and is extremely quick. If your server is hit by a deluge of traffic it is more likely to cope as the requests are “lighter”. This does require the Apache mod_rewrite module (which is probably installed if you have custom permalinks) and a modification of your .htaccess file which is risky and may take down your site if modified incorrectly.
Simple. Supercached static files can be served by PHP and this is the recommended way of using the plugin. The plugin will serve a “supercached” file if it exists and it’s almost as fast as the mod_rewrite method. It’s easier to configure as the .htaccess file doesn’t need to be changed. You still need a custom permalink. You can keep portions of your page dynamic in this caching mode.
WP-Cache caching. This is mainly used to cache pages for known users, URLs with parameters and feeds. Known users are logged in users, visitors who leave comments or those who should be shown custom per-user data. It’s the most flexible caching method and slightly slower. WP-Cache caching will also cache visits by unknown users if supercaching is disabled. You can have dynamic parts to your page in this mode too. This mode is always enabled but you can disable caching for known users, URLs with parameters, or feeds separately. Set the constant “DISABLE_SUPERCACHE” to 1 in your wp-config.php if you want to only use WP-Cache caching.

3/ Click Add Shipping Method and a modal will display. Select Free Shipping from the dropdown and Add shipping method.

A minimum order amount AND a coupon – Free shipping is offered only if a minimum amount is spent and the customer has a coupon that offers free shipping.
WordPress started in 2003 when Mike Little and Matt Mullenweg created a fork of b2/cafelog. The need for an elegant, well-architected personal publishing system was clear even then. Today, WordPress is built on PHP and MySQL, and licensed under the GPLv2. It is also the platform of choice for over 43% of all sites across the web.
The WordPress open source project has evolved in progressive ways over time—supported by skilled, enthusiastic developers, designers, scientists, bloggers, and more. WordPress provides the opportunity for anyone to create and share, from handcrafted personal anecdotes to world-changing movements.
It emerged back in June that Google Domains was shutting down and that customers would be migrated to Squarespace. WordPress.com now wants to attract customers of Google Domains with free transfers.
WordPress.com will pay the transfer fee for the first million domains that move away from the Google service. It has been a domain name provider for over a decade and notes how “you don’t even need a site or hosting plan to manage your domains with us.” This offer started yesterday and comes as there are about 10 million domains hosted on Google Domains.
Adding reCAPTCHA allows you to use human verification technology in your forms, which can decrease the number of spam submissions you receive.
Generating reCAPTCHA Keys in Google
To get started, you’ll need to log into your WordPress site and go to WPForms » Settings. Then, click on the CAPTCHA tab. To configure Google reCAPTCHA, select the reCAPTCHA option. Next, you’ll need to set up reCAPTCHA in your Google account to generate the required keys. To start this setup process, you’ll need to open Google’s reCAPTCHA admin console.
Adding reCAPTCHA to a Form. Now that you’ve set up your reCAPTCHA keys, you’ll be able to add reCAPTCHA to any of your WPForms. To do this, go ahead and create a new form or edit an existing form. After you’ve opened the form builder, look under the Standard Fields section and click on the reCAPTCHA field.
Alternatively, you can always enable reCAPTCHA by going to Settings » Spam Protection and Security in the form builder.
