A few questions about the Widget

    I have a one comment and a few questions:

    FYI … I had to disable the Javascript stuff to get the widget to work. It does now work but there are some formatting problems.

    1) Is there a way to send an additional filled in field to the list? For example, I have a “source” field which I would like filled in with “website” when someone subscribes.

    2) When you subscribe, the page refreshes so that the mailchimp widget is at the top instead of seeing the top of the page. Can this be changed? Try it at https://westportmakerday.org.

    3) When I enter a address that is already subscribed, I get the option to click on a link to update that profile, but the “Webpage is not available”. This is the generated link: https://remarkable-steam%2C-inc..us8.list-manage.com/subscribe/send-email?u=090ceb9aa5acc5cc5ee132323&id=8d21ce4bcb&e=bHBlcmxzdGVAeWFob28uY29t
    How do I fix this?

    Thanks,
    Larry

  • Hi Lperlste,

    Thanks for hopping in the forum.

    1.) Currently, there isn’t a way to add a filled in hidden field without modifying the plugin code. But you can see those that signed up with the plugin in the Subscriber Profile in MailChimp. The signup source would be SocialProxy for MailChimp. This this data can also be segmented. This guide from the MailChimp knowledge base can help with segmenting by Signup Source: https://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-can-i-send-to-a-segment-of-my-list#source

    2.) When javascript is disabled, the success message is inserted into the page after a refresh. The page then goes to an #id in the signup form(#mc_signup). This is so the subscriber can see that there was a success message. You could add an id=”mc_signup” to another place in the page such as the body or header, and the page would be redirect there. Or the plugin code can be modified from the WordPress Admin area. Select Plugins > Editor > MailChimp > click the mailchimp_widget.php file and look for the <div id=”mc_signup”> remove the id and the page should redirect to the top of the page instead.

    3.) The preface for that update profile URL is actually taken from your MailChimp Account name. In this case it appears to be the ‘.’ (period) at the end of the account name throwing things off. If you go to your MailChimp account, then click on your user display name / icon on the left side and click Account Settings, you can then go to Account Settings > Users & account details. On this page, you can then save an account name without a period, then save the change.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks! Actually I re-enable javascript and now it appears to be working fine with no weird refresh. And changing the account name did the trick – I had to remove the , and the .

    Thanks again for the very fine support!
