  I write a blog using Word Press and I want to add a ‘subscribe to blog’ link in the side bar but I do not see a widget for that

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Unknown

  Have you tried adding it as a block vs as a widget?

  To add the Subscribe block, click on the + Block Inserter icon and search for “subscribe”. Click it to add the block to the post or page.

  I am now using Avada them and the blog does not use +blocks. I have to add widgets.

  This seems like it might be better answered by providers of the theme as it appears to be unique to their builder:

  Hi there,

  Your site is built using the open source WordPress software, made by the community on WordPress.org. That software doesn’t come with any subscription feature built in, and this has nothing to do with your theme either.

  To offer subscriptions on your site, you need to integrate it with a subscription service, usually via a plugin.

  One option (and what we recommend) to do this is to install the Jetpack plugin on your site. You’ll use that plugin to connect your site to your WordPress.com account. Then you’ll be able to add a WordPress.com follow button to your site, allowing people to subscribe to your site in the WordPress.com Reader, and you can also add a blog subscription block to your site, allowing people to sign up for email notifications to new posts:

  Jetpack

  Let me know if you have any questions about this.
