Changing API key break my forms

    Hi,

    I have a WordPress with about 8 forms (I have 4 languages and two forms in my site). I need to change the MailChimp account where those forms link. The problem is that when I change the API key in your plugin settings, I can’t edit my forms anymore. A JS error appear in the console because the previous list is not found anymore and options of the form doesn’t load.

    Is there away to avoid recreating the whole 8 forms from scratch? I had similar problem in another site and the only way to solve the problem I found was to delete the form and create a new one.

    I also tried to empty the mailing list API cache but nothing happened.

    Maybe this is a bug of an unexpected situation in your plugin settings?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello @andreu,

    If you are switching to a completely different MailChimp account, unfortunately the forms are going to need to be created again. It’s a different API key and connected to a different account.

    Sorry about that!

    Hi @liljimmi,

    I managed to solve this by exporting my 8 lists to a CSV file and rename the old list ID with the new one.

    Just a suggestion: maybe you can put a list selector inside each form instead letting your JS broke the entire form after change the API key?

    Thanks anyway for the great plugin.

    Best,
