Mailchimp List Subscribe Form

Description

Use the Mailchimp List Subscribe plugin to quickly add a Mailchimp signup form block, widget, or shortcode to your WordPress site.

After installation, if you already have a Mailchimp account, you will log in with that account and then proceed to configure settings.

If you do not have an account, you can create one directly in the plugin. After entering in all your personal details, you will need to activate your account via an email that will be sent to you. Once done, you will proceed to configure settings.

On the settings screen, you will select your Mailchimp list, choose merge fields and groups, and configure other options. Once done, you can now add the block, widget, or shortcode to your site. Typically, installation and setup will take about 5-10 minutes, and absolutely everything can be done via the WordPress Setting GUI, with no file editing at all.

WordPress.com compatibility is limited to Business tier users only.

Starting in version 1.6.0, authentication has changed to use OAuth. As part of this process, we retrieve an access token that can be used to make API requests. To provide a high level of security, this access token is encrypted before being stored in the WordPress database.

To prevent issues with access token decryption, it is recommended to define two additional constants in your site's wp-config.php file. These constants should consist of a combination of characters, preferably at least 32 characters long.

If you are upgrading to version 1.2.1 and you used the widget in your sidebar previously, all you need to do is drag the Mailchimp Widget back into the sidebar, visit the Mailchimp settings page, and click the 'Update List' button to complete the process.

FAQ

You need to ensure that the fields are enabled both in your Mailchimp account (Audience > Signup forms) and in the settings of this plugin. Once the fields are enabled in both places, then they’ll appear in the editor and frontend of your site.
