Subscribe block not installed; missing from /admin/structure/block

I resolved this issue. The block had not appeared on the layouts page, so I added it again.
I appreciate the module, hoping someone will come up with a bounced mail handler that works :)

I'm running into the same issue. Can you tell how you fixed it? Thanks.

This is a major bug as it's not possible for anonymous users to subscribe to newsletters without the block being available. I couldn't find anything obviously wrong with SimplenewsSubscriptionBlock.php, but the block should be there, and it isn't.

Marked the following as duplicates of this issue:

• 🐛 Simplenews Subscription Block not displaying Active
• #3294993: Where to edit the subscription block ? →
• #3160366: Subscription Block for Anonymous Users →

elbarcino, I went to /admin/structure/block, then scrolled down to the Disabled group of blocks and selected the "Place Block" button.
I scrolled down through the list of available blocks until I found the Simplenews subscription block and selected the block.

It is not well documented that this is a way to restore blocks that disappear.

It would be better if drupal listed all available blocks under /admin/structure but this is another Drupal gotcha

Yes, I don't see an issue here. Any block except the blocks that added by default by the install profile need to be placed. Since Drupal 8.0. There can be hundreds of blocks and you can place blocks as many times as you want, this is by design.

Well, the documentation → says:

Enable the Simplenews block on the Administer blocks page: Administer > Structure > Block layout

...but there's nothing to enable on that page. So this is a documentation issue as it was never updated from D7.

I just updated it now. What do you think?

With the Simplenews block users can subscribe to a newsletter. For each newsletter one block is available. Enable the Simplenews block on the Administer blocks page: Administer > Structure > Block layout (currently missing, see #3453575: Subscribe block not installed; missing from /admin/structure/block) or Administer > Structure > Blocks (for Drupal 7), and visit the block configuration page to configure the block settings. Permission "subscribe to newsletters" is required to access the subscription form in the simplenews block or to view the link to the subscription form.

New

With the Simplenews block users can subscribe to a newsletter. For each newsletter one block is available. To enable it:

1. Navigate to Administration > Structure > Block layout.
2. Choose the theme you're interested in from the subtabs.
3. Find the region where you'd like to place the blocks, and hit the Place block button.
4. Configure the block in the modal window, and then hit Save block.
5. At Administration > People > Permissions, permission "Subscribe to newsletters" is required to access the subscription form in the block or to view the link to the subscription form.
6. If it needs to be accessible by anonymous users, clear the caches.

For Drupal 7, go to Administer > Structure > Blocks, and then visit the block configuration page to configure the block settings. Everything else is the same.

Great thanks
