CF7 and MC4WP

    I’m trying to use MC4WP with CF7 to create a basic (just email, no checkbox) newsletter signup.

    If I simply prefix the email field with MC4WP- should it just work if both plugins are installed? When I do that the CF7 form submits but the email isn’t added to mailchimp.

    <p>Email<br />
[email* mc4wp-email] </p>
<p>
[submit "Go"]
</p>

    When I also include the mc4wp_checkbox (just for testing purposes) it spins and spins.

    When I include the mc4wp_checkbox tag my CF7 spins and spins. If I don’t include it, CF7 works correctly but the subscriber isn’t added to Mailchimp.

    I’ve confirmed that if I use MC4WP by itself that it correctly adds email addresses.

    Hi Matt,

    You should add the checkbox (either visible or hidden) for the MailChimp for WP plugin to kick-in and subscribe the person submitting the CF7 form to MailChimp.

    The spinner would indicate that there’s an error occuring (under the hood). Do you have a link to your site so I can take a look?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply! Silly question, how do I add the checkbox hidden? Let me try that first. The site isn’t really live yet…

    Hi Matt,

    You can use the following HTML to add a hidden checkbox to your (CF7) forms (taken from the FAQ).

    <input type="hidden" name="mc4wp-subscribe" value="1" />

    Hope that helps, good luck!
