Creating a Pop-up Form in MailChimp
First, you will need to create the pop-up form in your MailChimp account using their form builder.
Next, you will need to paste the custom website code MailChimp provides in the <head> tags of your site. This requires installing a third-party header and footer code plugin, such as WP Code or Header, Footer and Post Injections.
You can add a new plugin in the Plugins tab on the left side of your website's dashboard.
Once activated, navigate to the header area in the plugins menu, paste your code in that area, then save.
If you need help installing a header and footer code plugin or finding the header area once installed, submit a support ticket from the SNO Support tab on the left side of your dashboard, ad SNO staff will be happy to help you with this step.
