Hey Steve!
Unfortunately, our plugin doesn’t allow for that sort of flexibility as-is. However, we do have a workaround which involves using MailChimp’s embedded form!
One of our fantastically skilled chimps wrote up this how-to on our blog a while ago, but the same basic principles still apply. Essentially, you’ll want to add the embedded form to your site with the group fields marked as “hidden”. From there, you’ll edit the code so that one field is pre-filled with the correct group that you want your subscribers to be added to.
For the full run-down, check out this link from our blog:

Let us know if we can help with anything else!
Cheers
Just want to say thanks to @mc_nate for that info. It’s just what I needed.
Hmm maybe I missed it, but how do I use this to put my subscribers into a specific group?
I have my list segmented and want everyone who signs up from this particular page to go into a specific group.
The Group is “contact type” and I want to have the “diva” option automatically selected with this as a hidden field.
HELP
<div class="mc-field-group input-group">
<strong>Contact Type </strong>
<ul><li><input type="checkbox" value="1" name="group[7449][1]" id="mce-group[7449]-7449-0"><label for="mce-group[7449]-7449-0">Busines Owner</label></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" value="2" name="group[7449][2]" id="mce-group[7449]-7449-1"><label for="mce-group[7449]-7449-1">Diva</label></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" value="4" name="group[7449][4]" id="mce-group[7449]-7449-2"><label for="mce-group[7449]-7449-2">Spectacular Prom & Bridal</label></li>
</ul>
</div>
Hey there, technodiva!
Essentially, you’d apply the same behavior to that group field. Instead of having the type set as “checkbox”, you’d change it to “hidden” and then delete the other fields you didn’t care about. So if “Diva” is the group you want everyone to submit to, you’d change the following:
type="checkbox" to type="hidden"
Then, you’d also want to get rid of the label for that field, unless you wanted that to show up on the page, for some reason.
Aside from that, you’ll also kill the other checkbox options so that only the “Diva” field is left.
After that, you should be ready to rock and roll!
Cheers
It worked!!!! You are wonderful MUAH!!
