Just above the footer containing the two widgets, Latest Blog Posts, and Events Widgets, I need to create a section that has a JOIN MY EMAIL LIST text link to the subscription page just like the one seen above the footer here.
first question is what plugin are you using for your mailing list ?
They generally provide a shortcode that you can add to your site using a Hook element:
To position it before the footer you can select the before_footer hook.
Make sure to check Execute Shortcodes ( or PHP if the plugin provided a PHP function instead ).
Or if you just want a text link – let us know. Happy to help with HTML / CSS,
