  Hello I want to have a pop up email subscription box on my website.
  Can’t find the plug in option though. Even though I payed for the premium upgrade and my blog is hosted by wordpress.

  Please help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Thanks for the answer!
  So there is no chance getting an email sub box to my page? ):

  No problem :)

  The closest thing I can see to an email sub box without a plugin is this: https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  Maybe that’s worth trying?

  The only email subscription options is to add either the Follow Blog widget, or to include the blog subscription short code on a post or page. No pop-up boxes available here, and thank goodness. Nothing is more effective in convincing me not to follow a blog :)

  Instructions for the widget and shortcode at these links respectively:

  The contact form is a way for readers to contact you privately, rather than via comments which are public. It can’t be used for subscribing to a blog.
