Plugin in footer

    hey guys and girls,

    My site is https://hillik.com/

    I installed the plugin a few days ago. I don’t use a sidebar or widgets and I had installed it with the 1 line code (short code didnt work) in the footer.php of my theme (Portfolio by theme foundry).
    the form shows but it doesn’t do anything when hitting the submit button.

    I’m not a developer, I’m an illustrator so I can’t tell if anything is missing from the code and why it wont work. it seems to connect with Mailchimp just fine and the API key appears correctly.

    if there’s a simple solution please let me know – a developer I know told me he thinks it conflicts with the slider of my theme, but I can’t tell for myself so please assist.

    thank you!

    Hey hilik,

    Thank you for using our plugin!

    I’ve taken a look at your website and saw that you’ve probably copy/pasted the form markup directly into your footer.php file. If that’s the case, there are a few things missing. Our plugin will automatically add in certain bits needed to correctly process the form. If you want to use the shortcode directly in a themefile, please use this:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[mc4wp_form]'); ?>

    That should do the trick! (This also means there is no conflict with your slider, by the way!)

    dear Ines,

    thank you so much for your reply but sadly it didn’t work.
    when I paste your suggestion in, it’s just showing the line

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[mc4wp_form]’); ?>

    as a text in my footer without the form at all. the only thing that was working in showing the form correctly until now (though not functioning) was the full code:

    <b> Subscribe to My Newsletter </b> <input type=”email” name=”email” placeholder=”Your email address” required />
    <input type=”submit” value=”subscribe” />

    maybe I can add something to the full code to make it work?

    thank you again!

    Hilli
