Call to action

If your goal is to increase your subscriber count, a call to action is your most crucial element. Candidus allows you not only to customize its text, but also to add an image. If you do not wish to maintain memberships yourself, you can use one of your social profiles.

INFO

Currently supported social profiles are:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter (default)
  • Dev.to

CTA is displayed in three places:

PagePositionEnabled
HomepageThe homepage, next to all latest publicationsalways
AuthorThe author section, next to the author's latest publicationsalways
PostAt the bottom of each postif you have subscriptions enabled

Customize this feature

You can change the behavior of the cover image in your design settings:

  • > Site-wide > Subscription CTA text (if subscriptions are enabled)
  • > Site-wide > Subscription card text (if subscriptions are enabled)
  • > Site-wide > Subscription card text disabled (if subscriptions are disabled)
  • > Site-wide > Subscription card image (always)
  • > Homepage > Select social media when subscription is disabled (if subscriptions are disabled)
  • > Homepage > Social media url when subscription is disabled (if subscriptions are disabled)

How does it work?

The texts are straightforward. Depending on whether or not subscriptions are enabled, they will show a message for interested readers. The optional card image makes your CTA more visually appealing. You should choose one that goes well with your chosen primary color.
