7. Magento. How to make newsletter subscription option checked by default

Using the file manager such as FileZilla, Total Commander, etc., connect to your server where you’ve installed your Magento store:

2. Open register.phtml file.
3. Find this line:
   ?

   1	<?php if ($this->isNewsletterEnabled()): ?>

   Right below it, add this code:

   <?php $checked = true; if($this->getFormData()->getEmail()) { if(!$this->getFormData()->getIsSubscribed()) { $checked = true; } } ?>

   

4. Look for the following div:
   ?

   1	<div class=”input-box”>

5. Replace:
   ?

   1	<?php if($this->getFormData()->getIsSubscribed()): ?> checked=”checked”<?php endif; ?>

   With :

   ?
