Double opt-in form for building your email list. Define landing pages to distribute your ebooks & software.

== Description ==
This creates a 2 field form (Name & Email) for capturing emails. Email is double opt in, and allows you to forward opt in to services such as ebooks or software. When you are ready to begin your email marketing campaign, simply export the list into your chosen email marketing software or service.

Features:-

* Widget Ready.
* Uses Wordpress' internal wp_mail function for sending mail.
* Easily integrated with posts & pages.
* Dashboard Widget.
* Export data into CSV files, compatible with most major Email Marketing Programmes (including Aweber, Mailchimp, Groupmail, Constant Contact)
* Double opt in, so compatible with CAN-SPAM act.
* And completely free!

== Installation ==
Upload the plugin (unzipped) into `/wp-content/plugins/`.

Activate the plugin under the "Plugins" menu.

This plugin requires a lot of set up before using. You need the following:-

* A page for "Half Registration" (this page will be forwarded to when the form is just filled in, informs the users that they need to click on a link in the email.

* A page for "complete registration" (thanking them for their enquiry, links to download etc).

After having these, please then fill in the settings in the "Settings > WP Email Capture" form.

The form can be inserted into the site at any location. However, to put the form anywhere, insert the following code into your template

<?php if (function_exists('wp_email_capture_form')) { wp_email_capture_form(); } ?> 

If you want to insert the form within a page, insert into any page the string [wp_email_capture_form]. It will be replaced with a simple form.

== Stylings ==
To style your form, you need to add to your CSS file the following ID declarations. "wp_email_capture" is for sidebar & template widgets, "wp_email_capture_2" is for on page forms.

#wp_email_capture
{

}

#wp_email_capture label
{

#wp_email_capture input

#wp_email_capture_2

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this piece of software send out email? =
No. I feel that to do so would be counter productive, as sending out email could have a detrimental effect on your server. There are a number of services we recommend, such as Aweber, to send out lists built on WP Email Capture.
