Michael,
Thank you for your detailed response. I do see how CSS could be used for some styling. 2 suggestions: 1) A very basic styling option would be to allow a placeholder instead of a separate text label, and/or to hide field labels. 2) Since the plugin places form fields inside a <p> tag, the theme’s CSS for form fields is being overridden by paragraph styles, and after 2 hours of wrestling with it I was unable to make it work right.
Thank you for clarifying that I don’t need another checkbox in addition to the opt in form. However, some clarity and/or transparency in the UI would be very helpful. As a long-time Constant Contact customer, the first thing I did was connect my Constant Contact account and select what list the contacts would go into. At no point did the UI state that they would not actually be submitted via API to the account. I might also suggest 2 different success messages, or a report in the admin panel of what was submitted in the form vs what was sent to Constant Contact. A false success message is much more frustrating than an outright error message.
The problem seems to be that the cron never runs. I followed your suggestion and disabled the one minute delay, and the user was finally added!
