Mailchimp not working with WP-Subscribers & can't see form to test...

Post by Being Blissful »

Hi there,

I've used this plugin successfully before and have followed all steps but it's not working :(

Yes - I've read the trouble shooting list first :)

I followed the instructions for linking the wp-subscribers form with mail chimp here:
http://www.wpsubscribers.com/tutorials/ ... ibers.html

These instructions seem to be incomplete...? They do not work.

What happens is that after filling in details in the banner, instead of going directly to the mailchimp "thank you for signing up" page, the form links to the mailchimp sign up form where people are asked AGAIN to fill in their details.

Please help! I've done everything the same as previously so don't know why this isn't working correctly.

Also, I've changed all the settings in "other settings" so the form is meant to be visible all the time but now I can't see it at all. I can't keep re-testing it to see if the above issue has changed :(

The website is http://www.judethepuppynanny.com

Thank you!

Hi,

The redirection to a "thank you page" has to be configured in MailChimp and not in WP Subscribers.

Here is the tutorial :

Best regards,

Hi Nico,
No - I do not want to host my own thank you page - I am totally happy to use Mailchimps "thank you for signing up page"

My problem is as above - after signing up on the site, the form DOES NOT go to the mailchimp thank you page. It goes to the actual mailchimp sign up page and asks people to re-enter their name and email address which they've just done on the wp-subscribers form.

I also cannot see the form - I have adjusted all the settings so the form should be visible ALL the time but I cannot get it back :(

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

Once again, this redirection configuration is on Mailchimp, not in WP Subscribers.

Can you give me your url address to see what happen.

Hi Nico,

Certainly - it's http://www.judethepuppynanny.com

I used the "detect form code" option in the opt-in setup area.

I've also tried using the direct link that mailchimp provides for my sign up form.

I've also tried the instructions in the tutorial above and used the "form action" url.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,

I'm pretty sure this problem is on Mailchimp (this autoresponder is doing all the work for redirections and thankyou pages).

Have you change your thank you page in mailchimp, like below ?

One more thing. Have you tried the Mailchimp html code (the one you've copyed on wp subscribers) alone?

Then, do you have the same problem?

Hi Nico!

No - I have not changed the thank you page or entered a specific URL thank you page - I want to use the default mailchimp thank you for signing up page.

I'm not sure what your next question refers too? I copied and pasted the html directly from mail chimp - how do I "try this alone"?

Thanks, Nico! I really need this sorted as soon as possible. Here's the html mailchimp sign up form I copied and pasted into the section in wp-subscribers:

Hi,

I've tried some tests and I think I've found the problem.

Do you have configured the API key on WP Subscribers?

I think the problem is here.

Here is the tutorial: http://www.wpsubscribers.com/tutorials/ ... ibers.html

Hi Nico,

I'm so sorry - we seem to be having a major communication problem.

The link to the tutorial given in your reply is the SAME tutorial I followed as mentioned in my very first post in this thread.

The tutorial is incomplete - I have followed every step as mentioned and still it is not working the way it should :(

Should I NOT have the api configured...?

Please help!

Hi,

Is it possible to have an admin access to your blog? It will be better for me to understand exactly where is the problem.

Here is my email address : [email]nico[at]wpsubscribers.com[/email]

Hi Nico,

This issue is still not resolved :(

I know you did some backend word but I have tested it and the mail chimp thank you page does NOT appear once someone enters their details.

I have not heard back from my last email to you over a week ago?

I appreciate your support :)

Hi,

In fact, I have resolve the API problem on your WP Subscribers configuration. I'm sorry for that, but as I said before the thank you page configuration have to be done on your Mailchimp account.

So, at this point I can't help you more...
I engage you to test some configurations on your mailchimp account. I think you'll find the clue at your problem.

Take care,
N.
