Good Morning Salena,
Glad you’re enjoying the theme 🙂
Excellent question too. The welcome widget won’t run the shortcode for us, but we can still add it in with a small edit. Here’s what to do:
- Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and choose Edit.
- From the list of files on your right, choose widget-welcome.php
- Scroll down to this line (line 48):
echo wpautop( $content );
- Right below that add this:
(Be sure to copy that code directly from the support site and not the notification email).
- Save your changes.
That should insert the MailChimp form just below the content of your widget.
If you have any questions or trouble, just let me know.
Thanks again,
Bill
