"Click Link To Subscribe"
-
I need a link to send via email, post on social, that allows them to “click link to subscribe” to my blog. Simple.
Yes, I already have widgets that people can use… this is DIFFERENT. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, that is great. It works great. On the blog.
I want something like that to put in email… and to put on other social sites…
For example: I send a link to my blog… and a separate link to subscribe to my blog. -
This is a very old workaround that you can try but I do not guarantee that it will work https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/direct-link-to-subscribe-to-a-blog?replies=13#post-559456

Timethief — Well I did read the link, but could not discover the right code. I am subscribed to this page.
Raincoaster said “There is no freestanding link to subscribe. People have asked for it. The widget is the only way.” so this is a longstanding request and seems simple enough. Why is this so hard? Modlook: my next step.
Thanks for your time. Whimsical pun intended.

This isn’t exactly what you are asking for, but it is similar:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/#invite-people-to-follow-your-blog
Essentially, it emails them a big link that says “John Smith has invited you to follow {BLOGNAME}. You can accept the invitation by clicking below:”
…with a big “accept invitation” button below.
But there is no URL that you can hand out that auto subscribed people when they click it. To be honest, I suspect many people might see that as something of a trick. We prefer to offer paths to subscribing where people have to choose to take the action, rather than accidentally doing it.

RootJosh, you are my hero.
If this works, then i am 100% satisfied. I agree with the affirmative click philosophy as well. I’ll test this and report back.
Much obliged, Bob
