I have recently installed ghost in my system and trying to enable email newsletter subscription. I am lost on the process to enable email newsletter subscription
the email newsletter subscription is just disabled. Waiting for the guidelines on solving this. When checking the html element, Enter your email is just a div without any textbox
Are you able to share the URL to your site? There’s a couple of different things that come to mind but it’s difficult to pinpoint without more info.
Hi Ryan, Thank you for the reply.
this is the blog in which i am trying to implement email newsletter subscription.
@shrawanlakhey you’ll need to set your site’s url config to the https URL. Currently it’s pointing at a http URL so the browser is blocking the requests used by the members feature due to security restrictions
Let’s try the easiest solution first. Can you confirm that subscriptions are enabled by going to Settings → Members → Sub access?
Hi Kevin, Thank you for the response. I did tried to change the rul to https, but then after changing, it was redirecting to localhost and port url and not loading website. Then again i have to revert back to http.
Tell us more about your setup, i.e., hosting arrangements, and the instructions you followed. It may be helpful if you share your Ghost and Nginx config.
Also, be sure to clear browser cache and cookies when experiencing unexpected redirects. By the way, the portal pages are redirected too.
Hi @mjw i hosted the ghost in aws lightsail which is provided by bitnami,

But the redirect still happens.
this is the one i have used to install ghost.
I knew there was a reason I prefer Nginx. 
I’d say that your Apache config is broken. Non-www redirects to www, and https doesn’t work. Similarly, the pattern for portal, with a # doesn’t work. I think this is the cause of your problems.
Indeed, I don’t understand why you have all the rewrite rules. I’d have thought it’d be simpler, e.g.,
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName nodexplained.com
ServerAlias www.nodexplained.com
Redirect permanent / https://nodexplained.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName nodexplained.com
ServerAlias www.nodexplained.com
<If "%{HTTP_HOST} == 'www.nodexplained.com'">
Redirect permanent / https://nodexplained.com/
</If>
# Rest of config, including
# SSL and reverse proxy
</VirtualHost>
I don’t run Apache, and haven’t for some time, so you’ll need to check this thoroughly.
Hi @shrawanlakhey, I have the same problem. Ghost version 5.26.2. How did you fix it?
Any updates or fixes?
