How to get Groupings on the Registration Page

    Thanks for this wonderful plugin. We have the latest version installed.
    We are connected to one of our MailChimp lists that has two groupings. I have checked the box to have the subscribe box appear on our registration page, which is the default registration page for WordPress (we’re actually using BuddyPress). So, we’re not embedding HTML or shortcodes – it’s just showing up automatically on the registration page. (the “comment, registration, BuddyPress registration, and bbPress registration pages are all checked).

    See here:
    https://www.theworshipcommunity.com/join-twc/

    It shows the “subscribe to updates” box, but it doesn’t show the groupings. I’m not sure how to make the grouping options appear, since this isn’t a normal page that you’d post HTML into.

    NOTE: I’ve read, re-read, and triple read this page:
    https://mc4wp.com/kb/add-groupings-choice-comment-form/

    I’m totally confused on it. If that’s the solution, I may need a little hand-holding. Specifically:

    Step 3: this is what confuses me … in step 2, am I supposed to add the “mc4wp-” prefix in front of my groupings in that HTML that’s generated? Because my generated HTML doesn’t look anything like the snippet that is shown on the page there in Step 3. What portion of the “snippet” in Step 3 do we replace w/ our generated HTML? Can you explain exactly where we replace our generated HTML? Then, does this get pasted at the end of the functions.php file? Our theme’s function.php is pretty short and unmodified.

    Hi fmckinnon,

    Could you paste the generated HTML here please? I’ll see what’s amiss and edit accordingly.

    @imazed,
    Sure, see below. What’s odd is that the grouping options actually show up underneath the “comments” section of a post, but not on the “join/register” default page.

    <label>
        <input value="TheWorshipCommunity.Com Morning Edition (a morning summary of new articles and discussions from TWC)" name="mc4wp-GROUPINGS[9][]" type="checkbox"><span>TheWorshipCommunity.Com Morning Edition (a morning summary of new articles and discussions from TWC) </span>

    Hi fmckinnon,

    If it does show up under your comments form, the function you’ve added to your functions.php does what it’s supposed to. You could add the following to the function you already have in place:

    add_action( 'register_form', 'myprefix_show_interest_groupings', 11 );

    Hope that helps. If not, make sure to let me know!

    Hey,
    I added that to my functions.php but didn’t work. Go to:
    https://www.theworshipcommunity.com/join-twc/

    So odd because the 2 groupings show up perfectly everywhere else.
    Below is my functions.php:

    <?php
error_reporting(0);

/**
 * Sets up the theme by loading the SnapThemes class & initializing the framework
 * which activates all classes and functions needed for theme's operation.
 *
 * @package SnapThemes
 * @subpackage Functions
 */

# Load the SnapThemes class.
require_once( get_template_directory() . '/framework.php' );

# Get theme data.
# $theme_data = get_theme_data( get_template_directory() . '/style.css' );
$theme_data = wp_get_theme();
# Initialize the SnapThemes framework.
SnapThemes::init(array(
	'theme_name' => $theme_data->name,
	'theme_version' => $theme_data->version
));

//notifies users of updates
require(get_template_directory() . '/update-notifier.php');

function myprefix_show_interest_groupings() {
	?>
	<p>
    <label>Choose the updates you'd like:</label>
 <P>   <label>
        <input value="TheWorshipCommunity.Com Morning Edition (a morning summary of new articles and discussions from TWC)" name="mc4wp-GROUPINGS[9][]" type="checkbox"><span>TheWorshipCommunity.Com Morning Edition (a morning summary of new articles and discussions from TWC) </span>
    </label><P>
    <label>
        <input value="HighestPraise.Com Free Songs & Useful Resources (Weekly Update of New Songs, Videos, & Resources)" name="mc4wp-GROUPINGS[9][]" type="checkbox"><span>HighestPraise.Com Free Songs & Useful Resources (Weekly Update of New Songs, Videos, & Resources) </span>
    </label>
</p><p>

	<?php
}

add_action( 'comment_form', 'myprefix_show_interest_groupings', 11 );
add_action( 'register_form', 'myprefix_show_interest_groupings', 11 );

?>

    Are you using a plugin of some kind to make that registration page? If it’s part of a theme or a plugin and you’re able to edit the registration form, adding the groups would be a lot easier. And it might be the reason my previous solution didn’t work out. Please let me know and we’ll dive into it further!
