Can users choose to opt out when filling a form?

I agree, great plugin Renzo! Thank you so much for this great contribution to the WP community.

I would also very much appreciate if it was possible to apply the opt-in function to not only ‘acceptance’ fields, but also to ‘check-boxes’. I think I’ve tried everything, but haven’t yet had any luck making it possible for people to not opt-in and still be able to send using the contact form – but please let me know if it’s just that I’m not doing it right.

Thanks,

Jonas

PS. Just to clarify what do I need to add in the [opt-in] field? Simply ‘[opt-in]’ or the ID from the acceptance field generated in the form above (i.e: ‘[pleasework]’ if it says: [acceptance acceptance-269 id:pleasework])?

And if it’s possible to use check boxes instead of acceptance fields, how would I go about that?

Sorry to be a bother and thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers,

Jonas

Ha! No worries – I worked it out! Somehow.

Think that maybe it had to do with the fact that I hadn’t added my custom fields to the email template as well as I didn’t think it would be necessary OR maybe that I needed to generate another Mailchimp API code for the second form(?) – not sure, anyway, it works! ??

Have a good weekend guys, and once again, thanks for a great plugin!

Cheers,

PS. I also made it work with the check boxes instead of the acceptance field, which is awesome as in that way I can leave it completely up to sender if they also want to sign up for the newsletter…

What did you do to get this working? I’ve been at it for a couple of hours now with no success. The author doesn’t seem to be around for answers. You mentioned that you added custom fields. Can you describe what you did? My config is below.

In my example I have:

[text* YourName 25/40 placeholder "Your Name *"]
[text* YourPhone 25/40 placeholder "Your Phone Number *"]
[acceptance opt-in id:opt-in class:opt-in default:on]
 [submit "Make Request"]

With [YourName], [YourEmail] and [opt-in] added to the list details with the proper API key and List ID info.

When I submit the form, I get an email but no info is added to Mailchimp.

Thanks,

Hello ??

Inside the form: [checkbox opt-in default:1 “Subscribe Me To Your Mailing List”]

Inside the Required Acceptance Field: [opt-in]

That works for me all the time.

Cheers!

Hi there,

Sorry about my slow response. Has been away on holiday without any Internet. Anyway, I hope Renzo’s response helped you work it out? I can confirm that my settings are as follows:

Under the ‘Form’ tab:
<p>[checkbox opt1 id:opt1 "Add me to the newsletter"]</p>

In the ‘Required Acceptance Field’ under the ‘MailChimp Extension’ tab:
[opt1]

I actually think I tried these setting before it started working, but with no success, and so I just kept trying different settings both in MailChimp and in the WP backend until it started working somehow. Anyway, these are my settings now and it works ??

Thanks,

Jonas
