How can I place a form of Subscribe2 plugin in my wordpress blog? (Example: Footer)

Question

I'm stuck with Subscribe2 plugin, I want to place a form for example in footer area of my blog, but plugin's documentation only talks about placing a form in a "page" using the "[subscribe2]" shortcode.

How can I place a subscribe form in the footer or tab area?

Answer 1

Normally you use shortcodes in the WordPress editor, but if you want to use one directly in your theme files (say, footer.php), use the do_shortcode function:

echo do_shortcode('[subscribe2]');
