Mailchimp HTML Codes and Integration

  • I have recently thought of starting a blog and got a website to work on using wordpress. I prefer using mailchimp for subscription forms for the customisation abilities. However, whenever I paste in an HTML code and try to update the page, I always get Error 404 Server.

    Furthermore, I cannot integrate mailchimp with my website to use a popup form. I tried using a script code as well, but still the result shows. By that, I mean it doesn’t update.

    There are a number of mailchimp plugins that you could use instead of trying to copy/paste code.

    Fortunately, I was able to find a solution for mailchimp code. But now, I just noticed that I have issues just using html code in general. I can’t embed anything in my website at all, be it a video or anything else. Is there any fix for this?

    Thank you

    Are you using an HTML block?

    What’s an example of a video you’re trying to embed? Why use HTML when you could use a video block?

    Well, I was trying to embed a GIF from Giphy into my website.

    I tried to use this one for testing and realised it didn’t work.

    <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/eoxomXXVL2S0E" width="480" height="360" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/internet-eoxomXXVL2S0E">via GIPHY</a></p>

    The reason I didn’t want to use video was because I would prefer not to download each and every video file I wanted to add. In the long run, that seems like it would just slow down my website, so I omitted it.

    Plus, this isn’t just about a video file. It’s any embed link that I have tried using in an HTML block. None of them seem to work and just show error 404.

    It doesn’t work on my website to see it. For your reference, my website is given above. Thanks.
