Not working

Hi Danny,

I tested it with the e-mail from my wife, and that works fine…
But I just don’t understand why I didn’t work with my emailaddress (thats not in the list).

Kind regards,

Willem

Hi Willem,

Really strange indeed, could you try testing with a widget form with just an email address field while being logged in to WordPress as an administrator. The plugin will show any errors MailChimp might return then (it won’t when using the checkbox).

Thanks.

Danny

Hi Danny,

The form with only the emailfield isn’t going to work, since I have two required fields:

Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later.

Admin only message: there seems to be a problem with one of your merge fields. Maybe you forgot to add a required merge field to your form?

MailChimp error: FNAME must be provided – Please enter a value

I will do the test later on when I added that field and let you know the error.

Kind regards,

Willem

Hi Danny,

I don’t know what I did the last time, but now everything works:

– I used the widgetcode form, got an e-mail;
– I did a reply on website, and got the e-mail again.

Thanks for your help and congrats with this great plugin.

One question: can I track how many subscribers came from leaving reply’s, how many from the form (if you use it) etc?

Kind regards,

Willem

I have this same problem, can you try to remember what you did?

Hi, I did not changed anything on the website that make it work, please follow the advice of Danny first to see if you get an error.

As you can read in my posts, it suddenly worked (don’t know why). Other emailaddresses already worked like I also wrote in my previous posts.

Good luck!

Hi Dany
I m using your mailchimp plugin and in the footer of my site I m using Form mark up , but each time I submit the form its giving me “General error message:Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later.” .. Did not understand the issue..

Hi rudrajit,

Do you have a live example so I can take a closer look?

@willem, I’m looking to add statistics to the plugin but most likely I will release this in a premium version of the plugin. This version will only cost a few bucks as I enjoy working on the plugin but donations aren’t really making up for all the time I put in anymore.

Hi Dany

It seems i have missed a setting in the plugin for which it was not working now it is working perfectly .Thanks a lot man your plugin rocks…

Hi Rudrajit,

Glad you got it to work. Do you remember which setting you missed? Probably more people are making the same “mistake”, I’d like to add a pointer to the plugin when they do. ??

Thanks, Danny.

Totally understand it, I never have any problems paying for good PRO features :-). Keep me posted.

Hi there Danny, great plugin.

How can we use it coding it “manually” rather than using a shortcode?

Appreciate your help.

Fernando.

Hi Fernando,

You want to show the form straight from your template files or what exactly do you want to do?

To show the form in a theme file, use the following PHP snippet.

<?php echo do_shortcode('[mc4wp-form]'); ?>

To add a sign-up checkbox to ANY form, add the following HTML to the form.

<input type="checkbox" name="mc4wp-do-subscribe" value="1" /><label>Sign me up to the newsletter</label>

Let me know what you want to accomplish and I’ll see what I can do to make my plugin more flexible. ??

Danny,

I am also getting the General error message: “Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later.”

What should I do?
