Hi there,
You can use the subscriber chiclet provided by MailChimp.
http://blog.mailchimp.com/mailchimp-subscriber-chiclet/
Just copy the JavaScript snippet and paste it into your form mark-up.
Will look into offering this from inside the plugin as well! 🙂
So I did some more research and as it turns out MailChimp removed the chiclet feature when they implemented their new design. (tweet)
I’ll add a form variable to the plugin. So if you use something like {subscriber_count}
in your form mark-up it will be replaced by the actual number of subscribers. Good enough? 🙂
Hi, you can now use {subscriber_count}
in your form mark-up to show the actual subscriber count.
A few notes on this.
- The number of subscribers is cached for 30 minutes by default, to reduce (slow) round-trips to the MailChimp server.
- If you select multiple lists, the sum of subscribers for all the selected lists will be shown
If you like this functionality, would you be so kind to leave a review? Thanks!
any way this widget will be implemented? Maybe there’s a code for custom insert in let’s say text widget ?
Hi Majklas,
You can use {subscriber_count}
in your MailChimp for WP form mark-up to show the count of your list its subscribers.
Thank You Danny for quick answer. But if I insert {subscriber_count} in my post, it shows as it is: “{subscriber_count}”
Do I need to do_shortcode({subscriber_count}) ?
Sorry for this kind a questions.. 🙂
