Display the Subscribe Button in your Sidebar using a Widget

Go to Appearance -> Widgets and drag the „Podlove Subscribe Button“ widget to your sidebar configuration. Select the pre-configured button from the list and determine which style you want. That’s it. The button should show up in your sidebar. Optionally add a title and description for your widget.

If you want to include a Podlove Subscribe Button in a WordPress page (or a post) just put the shortcode [podlove-subscribe-button] at the desired position in your text. Use the following shortcode parameters to configure it properly:

• style – default is filled, options are ‚outline‘ and ‚frameless‘
• format – default is a rectangle, options are ‚square‘ and ‚cover‘ (Note: ‚cover‘ has a max size of 300px)
