    Hi there

    I am using Yikes Easy Forms for Mailchimp on my home page to gather First Name Last Name Email and birthday.

    For some reason, when you fill in the form you get an error ‘merge fields invalid’

    I tried to remove birthday and get the same error but with 2 more lines saying ‘error with field: please enter a vale’

    Can you please help me fix this?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @newfootprint,

    If you take a look in the network tab in your browser dev tools, you can see the error message that Mailchimp is responding with. Here’s a screenshot.

    Looks like your Mailchimp form requires the Phone and Birthday fields to be filled out, but those fields haven’t been added to the form on your website. You can either take a look at your Mailchimp settings and make those fields optional, or you can add the fields to the form on the site.

    Let me know if you have any further issues,
    Jon

    ah amazing thats worked.

    I do have another question.

    So I am using the css classes to create a two column form but for some reason the last name box is slightly skewed to the right. The css is ‘inline’ for all of the boxes so I can’t work out why it’s happening?

    Hi @newfootprint,

    You can add some styles to resolve this. Right now I’m seeing the following in my browser dev tools:

    
.yikes-easy-mc-form label.field-right-half {
    width: 48%;
    float: right;
    margin-left: 2%;
}

    If you change it to the following, it should work:

    
.yikes-easy-mc-form label.field-right-half {
    width: 48%;
    float: right;
    margin-left: 0%;
    margin-right: 2%;
}

    Let me know if that helps,
    Jon
