Serious bug

  • Serious bug

    You have serious bug in your plugin.
    When person subscribe email via frontend, he is redirected to #mc_signup page.
    If you reload that same page 20 or 100 times it will send 20 or 100 emails for confirmation subscription, and spam filters will recognize this as spam, after 20 or 30 emails.
    Tested on yahoo email service. Please fix this ASAP!!

    Second thing.
    In mailchimp_widget.php line 100

    <div id="mc-indicates-required">
	* = <?php esc_html_e('required field', 'mailchimp_i18n'); ?>
</div><!-- /mc-indicates-required -->

    ‘required field’ should really be in mailchimp_i18n-es_LANG .po and .mo file

    Best regards

  • Hey there,

    Thanks for posting! In testing a bit on my end by submitting an email address into the plugin form, then refreshing the page numerous times, I’m afraid that I was not able to replicate the issue of multiple copies being sent. In submitting the form, I found that the email address field was being cleared out each time, and the form was not resubmitting that data.

    So that we can take a closer look, can you provide me with the browser that you’re using, as well as the version of the browser? Also, can you confirm what method you’re using to add the form to your site (for example, shortcode or widget)?

    In regards to the “required field” question, the include PO files should actually include that text string as a translatable field already. here’s a screenshot of my “mailchimp_i18n-es_ES.po” file: https://screencast.com/t/2B5H23GZ92Fm

    If you’re not seeing that text string listed or if I’ve misunderstood your question, please feel free to post back here and I’d be happy to help!

    Hi there mc_tak
    Thank you for look into it.
    You can test of what I am talking about on this page:
    https://www.hdlu.hr/
    Mailchimp Widget is on the right side panel, last one.
    Enter your e-mail, and click “Prijava”
    after that, when green notification emerge, refresh browser several time.
    Check your inbox.
    I tested in Firefox 19, and latest Chrome.
    Wordpress is 3.5.2, MC plugin 1.2.14 as Widget.

    Thank you for .po notification, seems that I miss that one.

    So do not retype and resubmit the form.
    Enter e-mail once. Hit “Prijava” (Subscribe) and then refresh the page 5-6 time on browser refresh button.

    Hey there,

    Thanks for posting that additional info. In testing the interaction of submitting and refreshing the page in both Firefox and Chrome, I’m receiving a notification to confirm form resubmission. Clicking cancel results in no additional opt-in confirmation emails, while clicking ‘Confirm’ on this popup WILL create additional opt-in confirmation emails, which is an expected interaction since the user is confirming sending that form data again.

    From what’s being described, it sounds like there may not be a confirm resubmission prompt on your end, which does seem a bit odd, as that’s typically something that your browser should have enabled to show. Can you confirm that there is no resubmission prompt? If there isn’t, are you able to replicate the interaction on another machine using the same browsers?

    As a general area of concern, I can offer to pass along this interaction for consideration in future development of the plugin, but to clarify, the current expectation is that submitting, refreshing the page, and clicking ‘confirm’ on the prompt WILL in fact generate a new opt-in confirmation email.

    Look forward to hearing back!
