Shortcode Reference

Dispatch Pro uses the same subscription form shortcode as Dispatch Core. The shortcode is registered by the Core plugin, so Dispatch Core must be active for the form to work — even if you are using Pro features everywhere else.

The shortcode

[mmedia_dispatch]

Attributes

title — (optional) heading displayed above the form. Default: none.
description — (optional) subtext shown below the heading. Default: none.
button_text — label for the submit button. Default: Subscribe.
success_message — message shown after submission. Default: Thank you! Please check your email to confirm your subscription.
name_field — set to true to show a first name field. Default: false.

Examples

Basic form:

[mmedia_dispatch]

Form with name field and custom text:

[mmedia_dispatch title="Stay in the loop" description="Get updates when new content goes live." name_field="true" button_text="Sign me up"]

Behavior

Form submissions are handled via AJAX — no page reload
After submission, the form is replaced with the success message
If double opt-in is enabled (default), the subscriber stays Pending until they click the confirmation link in their email
Duplicate submissions from an already-active subscriber are silently rejected
Style the form using the CSS class .mmedia-dispatch-form

"Have you tried restarting your computer? Please check our knowledge base. Your ticket has been escalated. Estimated response: 5-7 business days."

❌ Corporate Script Theater

Developer (M Media)

"Checked your logs. Line 247 in config.php — the timeout value needs to be increased. Here's the exact fix + why it happened. Pushed a patch in v2.1.3."

✓ Real Technical Support

Support From People Who Understand the Code

Ever contact support and immediately know you're talking to someone reading a script? Someone who's never actually used the product? Yeah, we hate that too.

M Media support means talking to developers who wrote the code, understand the edge cases, and have probably hit the same problem you're dealing with. No ticket escalation theatrics. No "have you tried restarting?" when your question is clearly technical.

Documentation written by people who got stuck first. Support from people who fixed it.

We don't outsource support to the lowest bidder or train AI on canned responses. When you ask a question, you get an answer from someone who can actually read the logs, check the source code, and explain what's happening under the hood.

✓ Real troubleshooting, not corporate scripts

✓ Documentation that assumes you're competent

✓ Email support that doesn't auto-close tickets

✓ Updates based on actual user feedback

// real.developer.js

                        const approach = {
                    
                        investors: false,
                    
                        buzzwords: false,
                    
                        actualUse: true,
                    
                        problems: ['real', 'solved']
                    
};
// Ship it.

Built by People Who Actually Use the Software

M Media software isn't venture-funded, trend-chasing, or built to look good in pitch decks. It's built by developers who run their own servers, ship their own products, and rely on these tools every day.

That means fewer abstractions, fewer dependencies, and fewer "coming soon" promises. Our software exists because we needed it to exist — to automate real work, solve real problems, and keep systems running without babysitting.

We build software the way it used to be built: practical, durable, and accountable. If a feature doesn't save time, reduce friction, or make something more reliable, it doesn't ship.

✓ Every feature solves a problem we actually had

✓ No investor timelines forcing half-baked releases

✓ Updates add value, not just version numbers

✓ Documentation written by people who got stuck first

This is software designed to stay installed — not be replaced next quarter.
