I have read how to do this from a general Google search but I’m not confident enough to edit your template code.

Please step me through how to do this.

I just want to add a JetPack basic subscription form on the Primary sidebar.

May I add that after 24 hours of using your template the results have surpassed my expectations ?. Well done. 🙂

I’ve ventured a bit further but not to any success.

I’ve added these two lines to the functions.php

add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘shortcode_unautop’);
add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

but still all I get is this Jetpack code showing in the sidebar.

[jetpack_subscription_form title=”My Custom Title” subscribe_text=”My custom subscribe text!” subscribe_button=”Sign Me Up” show_subscribers_total=”1″]

What do I need to do to sort it out?

@Crusoe: Thanks for your appreciation. For Jetpack subscription, they have Widget called “Blog Subscriptions (Jetpack)”. See this http://jetpack.me/support/subscriptions/.

You can use plugin to enable shortcode in widgets. Try searching for plugin in http://wordpress.org/plugins/.

Thanks Sakin, about the time you posted your solution I finally figured it out. Seems early in the days of setting up my site I had installed Jetpack Lite which shuts out most of the Jetpack features, including subscriptions.

All working well and website looking better than ever.. http://www.crusoercs.com
