== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I am unable to delete the temporary opted in users. I get this message: Cannot load wpsb-opt-in.php =

The wpsb-opt-in.php file must be in the `/wp-content/plugins/` folder and not in a subdirectory.

= Is it possible to show the form in the body of a page rather than on the sidebar? =

Yes: to have the newsletter widget inside a post you must enable PHP execution inside posts. First install this PHPexec plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/exec-php/

then write this code in your post:

`<?php wpsb_opt_in(); ?>`
