MailChimp list is not updated

    Hi,

    I have two CF7 forms in my site. A normal contact form and a mailing list form. The normal contact form works without an issue.

    This is the code for the mailing list.

    <div class="form-group">
	<label class="sr-only" for="subscribe-name">Your first name</label>
	[text* your-name class:form-control id:subscribe-name placeholder "Your first name"]
</div>

<div class="form-group">
	<label class="sr-only" for="subscribe-email">and your email</label>
	[email* your-email class:form-control id:subscribe-email placeholder "and your email"]
</div>

<input type="submit" class="btn btn-danger" value="Subscribe!">
[submit class:btn class:btn-danger "Subscribe!"]

    In the MailChimp Extension, I have entered the MailChimp API key and the list ID correctly.

    When I submit the form, the progress indicator keeps going. No success message. The subscriber list in MailChimp isn’t getting updated either.

    Any idea why this issue is occurring?

    By the way the form I’m talking about is here. Scroll down a little and click on the green Click here to subscribe button.

  • Yup, looks like everyone is having this issue. It started with the previous update. I contacted the developer and we were supposed to have a Skype call together last Monday but he’s not answering emails anymore. I’ll let you know if I find a fix or get a hold of him.

    Just tried calling the developer’s cellphone and he has no voicemail set up. i’ve tried disabling all plugins and it still doesn’t work. The API call isn’t happening. The form is technically submitted (I can capture the info in CF7 DB) so that’s working. It’s the MC extension that is failing to connect with MC.

    Thanks. Please do. There was a new update for this plugin today. I updated it but unfortunately the issue still persists.

    Okay I updated the plugin to the latest version and there’s good news and bad news.

    Good news is that, the never-ending loading indicator issue is gone. Bad news is, now I get this error message and the email still doesn’t get sent over to MailChimp.

    Was there a new update? I still can’t get the developer to get on skype. He gives me a time to be on but no skypename to contact. Then I don’t hear from him for days.

    Okay, some progress was made.

    I installed this plugin called WP Mail SMTP. This plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail(). Anyway, there was still some hurdles to jump with this plugin as well. For example, email sending might not work at first with this plugin activated either and would get a “SMTP Error: Could not Authenticate” error. I was using gmail’s SMTP settings. In that case, I had to change some settings in my Google account. See this answer on how to do that.

    After all that’s done and dusted, the MailChimp extension worked! The email gets sent almost immediately and it took a minute or two to update the subscribers list in MailChimp.

    Will jeep searching for how to do this without SMTP still though.

    That’s interesting because I already have mail SMTP on that client’s site and mailchimp extension doesn’t work.

    There is a debug option in the new version:

    Some problem, nothing happens. Log file enabled, but log file does not get updated when I use the form.
