1

Download, install and configure the Bloom plugin

The Bloom plugin requires an account on one of the most popular email marketing platforms. After the plugin is installed, we need to select the platform we are going to use and add the username and the API key. The integration is seamless. Bloom provides integration with most of the email marketing platforms such as MailChimp, Aweber, Campaign Monitor, GetResponse and more.

Add new optin

Once we add and authorize our email marketing account to the Bloom plugin, we can add a new email optin form. For this tutorial, we used an inline form. To do that, go to Bloom → Optin Forms, click Add New, and select Inline form.

3

Configure the optin form

In this step, we need to select the proper settings that will make our custom CSS, which we are going to add in next steps, work correctly. The following two options here are crucial. We need to make sure that Form Field Corner Style in Form Styling section is set to Squared Corners (yes… even if we are planning to do Rounded Corners, this option must be set to squared, otherwise our custom CSS won’t work). The second option we need to set is Corner Style in Optin Styling section, and it must be set to Rounded Corners (see image below).  Save form!

Add custom CSS

Before we add our new form to the page, we need to add custom CSS. This code will make our email field rounded, add email icon, and also apply gradient to the button. This gradient can be edited by adding our own code. For this tutorial I have used gradient generator.
Add the following custom CSS to Divi→ Theme Options→ Custom CSS:

Import Divi sections to the Divi Library

The download package includes a json file that will add three sections to your Divi Library: Mobile Optin, Tablet Optin, and Desktop Optin. Each one is displayed respectively on different devices depending on screen resolution. Go to Divi → Divi Library and click the Import/Export button located at the top of the screen. Now select the Import tab, click Choose File, and select the slim_optin.json file that can be found in the download package.

Add sections to the page

Our email optin is ready! In this last step, we just need to add the saved sections to the page where we want our slim email optin section to be displayed. Open the page and click Add From Library. Repeat this step for all 3 sections: Mobile Optin, Tablet Optin, and Desktop Optin.

Note: Make sure that the shortcode for the form in Code module is proper. If you haven’t used Bloom plugin before and haven’t created any opt-in form before, it will work and no changes are required.

    Hi Maciej,

    Could you provide a direct link to download the slim_optin.json file please?

    I’d be very grateful as I can’t find it on the links that’s been suggested.

    I’m having issues with the email icon. I have 5 random icons in eight before my email field. I’m clueless on how to fix this. Any ideas?

        Thanks for answering so quickly! Sadly I can’t provide a URL. However, the only thing I changed so far is the colors. But here’s an image of the icons – https://imgur.com/HOGe3jT

          Sorry, but it’s not possible to give you any advice without seeing the website. The code you have added won’t help. There is something that doesn’t work at your end.
