  No worries — finding newsletter settings in WordPress can be tricky depending on the plugin or theme you’re using. Here’s how to track them down :
  
  1. Check Your Installed Plugins
  If you’re using a newsletter plugin (like a mailing list or email marketing tool), go to:

  • WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins
  • Look for plugins with names like Newsletter, MailPoet, Mailchimp, etc.
  • Once found, you should see a Settings or Configure link under the plugin name.

  2. Look in the Sidebar

  Some newsletter plugins create their own menu items in the WordPress admin sidebar (left-hand side). Look for :

  • Newsletter
  • Email Marketing
  • Subscribers
  • MailPoet, etc.

  Clicking on one of these will usually take you to the dashboard and settings for newsletters.
  
  3. Theme-Integrated Newsletter Settings

  If your theme includes a newsletter widget, go to :

  • Appearance > Widgets or Appearance > Customize
  • Look for a Newsletter or Subscription Form section.
  • Some themes let you connect to Mailchimp or other tools here.

  Tip:
  If you’re still stuck, go to :

  • Dashboard > Settings > General or Settings > Newsletter (if available).
