Mailchimp disabled double opt-in does not work as expected

    I tried searching for this topic as per the first post and always get a blank page so I don’t know whether this topic was raised previously.

    I integrate S2member with Mailchimp and have the “Registration/Double Opt-in Box” checked with “No”. However, when someone registers they still have to opt-in to the special email list which kicks off an automated welcoming sequence.

    This is really annoying (and looks unprofessional) as everyone has to opt-in even though they registered and expect to be given a welcoming tour. In addition it makes the ability to add more than one email-list useless – who is going to click on two email opt-in requests?

    Is there a way in S2Member to truly disable double opt-in as Mailchimp does not require double opt-in.

    Thanks. Ute

    That is because of this bug in s2Members, which is fixed by my plugin “KC s2M+MC Pro“. You also get much better integration.

    Thanks @krumch, I appreciate your response.

    I raised the issue with S2Member support as well and installed a hack which works for me for now.

    BTW, for anyone who wants to know the hack, here it is:

    Create the following directory and file:
    ../wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

    All that needs to be added to s2-hacks.php are these two lines:
    <?php
    add_filter(‘ws_plugin__s2member_mailchimp_double_optin’, ‘__return_false’);
