Not Work

This plugin does not work correctly in the contact form, I tested it to fill in the contact form on the page of my website, in the WordPress subscription plugin it can enter, but why not enter it in Mailchimp ??

Doesn’t show errors!

Used this to collect newsletter subscribers for 2 years or so. It seemed to work fine when tested, but it turns out it didn't work with subscribers using certain browser settings, but didn't spit out any kind of error or give any indication. Always just gave a success message. MailChimp has a problem with browsers auto-filling hidden fields (Google "mailchimp too many signup attempts" for more info) and was rejecting a lot of subscribers. There's a workaround for this, but you have to know it's happening! I'm now using an embedded form from MailChimp's form builder (and the workaround mentioned above) instead of this extension.

Seemed so promising …

I really wanted this plugin to work, but the custom fields feature does not function properly. Beware! If you use anything other than the default MailChimp merge fields, you will probably have trouble too. I contacted the developer twice (once on 10/02/2018 and again on 10/15/2018) using his preferred contact method. Now, 20 days after my original message, I still have not received any response. Seeing as how the plugin has not been updated in the past 8 months and the author is missing in action, I suspect that this plugin has been abandoned.

Doesn’t work! Junk. Moving on.

I installed the plugin alongside CF7. I used the same API key and the list ID I had successfully used with other email optin plugins (Bloom, Divi email optin.) First of all this plugin's page for editing the form Mailchimp data doesn't show any indication that Mailchimp recognizes the codes provided. Secondly not a damned thing happens Mailchimp wise when I submit the page. I used Renzo's support form to request assistance, I included screen shots, and after 5 days no response. Also, one really annoying thing about this plugin is when I went to re-activate a series of plugins including this one, the activation of about a dozen plugins stops dead at CF7 Mailchimp's edit window for one email form. Why is this plugin so SPECIAL it interrupts a WordPress function involving non related plugins? Overall this useless plugin wasted my time. Uninstalling!!!
