Excellent, Brandon, thank you. I don’t understand what you did, but I’m glad you did it!

This may be a Mail Chimp issue, but when I plug an email into the subscribe form, I am led to a page that says

“Almost finished…
We need to confirm your email address.

To complete the subscription process, please click the link in the email we just sent you.”

This may be standard operating procedure for Mail Chimp (I just signed up with it tonight and haven’t investigated it much). Is that your understanding or is there a better way to use the plugin?

Thanks so much again,
Daniel

OK, I just deleted two widgets in my “Inactive Widgets” section that might be what you’re talking about. They were attempts of mine to solve my problem using Constant Contact before I contacted you. Now I have your eNews Extended widget in place in the “Newsletter” section on the right hand side of the “Widgets” page in the admin. I don’t know how else I can make it appear on the site. Help.

I see you sent an email into a Constant Contact email widget that is not activated on the site. I’m trying to use the newsletter widget with a Mail Chimp account.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand. The widget is in place in the “Newsletter” box on the right side of the “Widgets” page in the admin. The widget is also showing on the site itself, is it not? I don’t know what you mean by “adding the widget back to my site.”

Thanks for your patience with me.

I’ve closed it, if that’s what you mean. (Sorry, I’m a fiction writer!)

I did it, Brandon, thanks, and the email signup form now looks as it should on the site, but when I plugged my email address into it to test I got a 404 page. Any suggestions?

Brandon–

I’m setting up my Genesis site with the Streamline child theme and trying to set up with it the Genesis enews extended plugin using Mail Chimp. I see your instructions above about setting up with Mail Chimp, but cannot understand a keystroke of it after the point where I generate the form with Mail Chimp and copy my HTML code.

As you can no doubt tell I am no programmer. I am also working on a Mac and don’t use Notepad. Could you explain in layman’s terms how to get from the HTML code for my signup form in Word Chimp to activating the plugin. In short: where in heck do I paste the HTML code in the Genesis enews extended plugin? And if that’s the wrong question, then can you walk me through more slowly how to proceed?

I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,
Daniel
