    Thanks for this… I’m new to Vertical Response. Installed the plug-in with no problem for a non-profit client (waiting for them to complete setting-up account to test it fully). When validating pages on their website I noticed a tag closure order was flagged.

    Changing lines 114-118 in vertical-response-widget.php from:

    /fieldset /div to /div /fieldset
    Seemed to do the trick.

    Thanks Patrick! I’ve committed the changes. Missed that one!

    When trying to install .141, it’s generating a fatal error when activating:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in (directory)/vertical-response-widget.php

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

    Hi Lane,
    Please try updating the widget to the most recent version (Download .143). If this doesn’t fix it, please let me know.

  • Lane

    Hi Zack, yes still getting a fatal error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in (directory)/wp-content/plugins/vertical-response-newsletter-widget/vertical-response-widget.php on line 251

    Fresh install of WP 2.7 on a server running php5.2.6.

  • Lane

    Btw, that was for .143, previously it was .141, you had a newer version but wasn’t up on wp’s site yet.

  • http://www.brittanykelly.com Cory

    Installed and activated the widget but nothing came up on my sidebar. Is there something else that I need to do? New to this stuff so I’m not sure. Thanks!

  • Lane

    I just sent Zack a fix for this, he was missing the closing ?> at the very end of the file. Just add that to the php file and it should work.

  • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

    @Lane – That’s really strange, since the plugin has always had the closing ?>.

    Strange. Thanks for working with it!

    Hi! Thanks for the widget! I had no problems installing but it’s showing up as horizontal (i.e. bleeding horizontally out of the sidebar and over onto the main section). I haven’t yet updated to WP 2.7, could that be the problem? Please excuse my lack of geekiness :^)

    please fix this problem…

    Hello! I would like to modify the CSS for this widget; however, I can’t seem to find the style sheet or list of styles that are editable. Please let me know if you have them somewhere as I really need to match the style of my own site. Thank you!

  • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

    Hey George, will add this in the next version next week. Thanks for the feedback.

  • Heather

    Zack,
    Thank-you for this!

    I was getting this error when activating:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in (root directory)\wp-content\plugins\vertical-response-newsletter-widget\vertical-response-widget.php on line 261

    So at lines 182 and 253 I changed
    <? to <?php
    and that seem to take care of the issue, was able to activate without problems.

    HEy Zack, when I try to install on WP 2.7.1 I get:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in htdocs/wp-content/plugins/vertical-response-newsletter-widget/vertical-response-widget.php on line 136

    and yet all code looks OK to me. Any ideas?

  • James

    I created a template with artisteer 2 and I can’t see the vertical response plugin in my sidebar after I activate it

    Thanks for this Plugin! I will check it out.

  • http://ifc-dk.com mads sonne bremholm

    I am using wordpress 2.8.6 and have installed the widget. When I i submit a mail from the site, i am getting a “invalid form” pop-up window.
    Any tips of how i could fix this? I must admit that I am kinda newbie with all this

    Hi there Zack,
    I’ve been using your iContact widget for a little while now and though it’s great, I would like to try something else which makes the form more appealing. And so I ran into your Vertical Response Widget and now I wonder whether I can use it to set up iContact’s sign-up form.

  • erica

    Would love to be able to use multiple instances of this widget.  I have multiple widget areas and want the sign-up form on my front page footer and on my sidebar.  Doesn’t seem like that’s possible now, unless I’m missing something???

  • http://www.sixdegreeswebdesign.com Robin

    Can you add a way to change the size of the title text? It’s rather large by default.

  • http://www.elevatedmusic.com Kumu

    Hey Zack,
    Nice plug in. Would you consider adding requirements for other fields like name…just like how you have done with your comment box here.

  • zach

    Hi Zack,
    Great Plugin, thanks!

    I’m using it for a non-profit client and it’s working great so far.

    One question I had though was, is it possible to clear the email/name data once the form is submitted?

    Thanks

    Zach

    Does the plugin have shortcode support?

    • http://www.katzwebservices.com Zack Katz

      @Chuck Spidell: Yep, it does. Soon to come are more styling options, too :-)

  • http://illusiodesign.com Chuck Spidell

    Zack, what’s the shortcode for embedding into the page?

  • matthew moore

    Did you figure out issue with the plugin and wordpress 3.0 or 3.1 when it just goes to white screen activating it.

  • James

    I am unable to amend the widget border width to align it with other items in my menu. Whatever size I choose from the drop down, it always reverts back to 1px

    Also, it would be good to have a greater number of widths, at least more than 20px. Currently I use the facebook page plugin on my site which is wider than 20px so to ensure nice alignment with the Vertical Response widget, I need to be able to choose a larger width.

    Great plug in though!

  • victor

    great plugin!
    one question: how do you implement the shortcode into a post/page? been looking on your site and documentation but don’t see how to do it. would really appreciate an explanation, thanks.

    • http://sanfranciscofilmmuseum.org/ victor

      hey there, i found the shortcode: [VerticalResponse] but when i try to use it, it ALWAYS positions itself upper-left below the post/page title.

      what do i need to do in order to get it to position in a specific area of a post/page?

      thanks

  • Boundangels

    hi Zack.
    How come once I drag the widget to the general page sidebar, I cna’t also add it to the other page sidebars on my site?
    Thanks.

    I’m using your CSS classes to style the widget but nothing is updating. Where should the custom CSS be placed? I’ve tried the main theme CSS and created another ‘style.css’ in the plugin directory to no avail. What am I missing?

  • Christine Redd

    I would like to have the VR subscrbe widget show up above my navigation bar instead of on the side with my widgets. Does anyone know how to do that?

  • Mark Randolph

    Howdy –

    Two questions:  1.)I’d like to decrease the size of the title text, and 2.) justify the message text.  We are using stylesheet.css for the vertical response styling, and I don’t see a provision to do either of these tasks.  Thanks
    Mark

    • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

      Both of these items are to be achieved using CSS. Use Firebug in Firefox or Chrome/Safari Inspector tools to get the right CSS class. Let me know if you aren’t able to get the appropriate classes.

  • http://www.seodenver.com Zack Katz

    Hi Nora,
    In a future version of the widget, I will add resizing capabilities. Expect an update in one week!
