MailChimp & PopUp Domination - HELP (7 posts)

    Hey Guys,

    Basically I was hoping somebody could help me troubleshoot this problem - as so far, nobody can. It has become literally, the bane of my life.

    So here lieth the problem.

    1) I've installed PopUpDomination on my custom wordpress domain - http://www.skillsetgblog.com

    2) I've created a list using my MailChimp account.

    3) I've tried every variation under the sign to connect the two, I have tried the following:

    * Pasting the list embed code with javascript/css disabled - this results in the two not merging their fields and I get nothing
    * Copying and editing parts of the code - this doesn't work very well either.
    * Using the basic <form> template provided in the PopUpDom plugin as follows -

    <form action="http://skillsetgblog.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=7f2a74541d41a9043f06f1b8a&id=42a8eb3e80">
    <label for="name">Your Name</label>
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
    <label for="email">Your Email</label>
    <input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="submit" />
    </form>

    This so far has had the most success.

    I managed to get all the way through with a confirmation email once, but this was incorrect - once I had filled in the PoPUpDom sign-up form, it loaded the MailChimp one and made me fill that in also.

    At the moment, if you test it yourself, it works fine and takes you to the email confirmation screen - but no email comes through.

    As I already said:

    1) Once before on a different test/email - the confirmation link came through and I registered - so it's not an issue of it being blocked/junk etc.

    2) I've been told I have conflicting javascript on my site - I don't know where or what that is, as I have no plugins active apart from these -

    *Jetpack
    *PopUpDomination
    *Sharebar
    *Wordpress importer

    All I want - the confirmation email to send so I can move on with the production of my bog.

    I will send 20 bucks via Paypal over to anybody who can fix this correctly as so far, no-one has been able to.

    Just to note - I'm not using the MailChimp wordpress plugin, I'm currently using the form embed code - that may be the next step in my attempts

    Update - I've just created a test list that worked perfectly. Put the bare minimum in it and tested it through MailChimp - the confirmation email sent instantly - so it's nothing to do with the form/junk box golder

    As soon as I introduce the form to the site however - the confirmation email doesn't send.

    I then disabled every single plugin on the site - still nothing

    I then disabled the theme - Boldy - and switched to WordPress Twenty 10 basic theme - still nothing.

    So I am literally at a loss for what to do or how there could be 'conflicting javascript' on my blog affecting the email confirmation

    Hey guys, just wanted to touch base here.

    Because that plugin is developed by a third-party, your best bet might be to reach out to them, directly, here:

    http://popdom.assistly.com/customer/portal/emails/new

    Aside from that, I'm afraid our ability to troubleshoot this particular problem is pretty limited. :(

    However, if we can help with anything else, give us a shout!

    Cheers

    Hi All,

    I got this to work!!!!!

    Two things:
    1) Only paste in the html for the form. That means anything inside (and including) the <form>...</form> tags
    2) Ensure that in the html for the email field, you change it from type="email" to Type="Text". For some reason Popup Domination doesn't like the html 5 code...
