I have exactly the same problem. Started a few days ago and wasn’t there last week.
Anyone know why the additional code shown below is being added?
<input type=”text” name=”_mc4wp_required_but_not_really” value=”” /><input type=”hidden” name=”_mc4wp_timestamp” value=”1426015539″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”_mc4wp_form_id” value=”83″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”_mc4wp_form_instance” value=”1″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”_mc4wp_form_submit” value=”1″ /><input type=”hidden” name=”_mc4wp_form_nonce” value=”2c7e474e37″ /></form></div><!– / MailChimp for WP Pro –></p>
Looks like a hack attack to me?
same issue for me here.
I have only just installed mailchimp but seems like a broader issue.
Has anyone mailed mailchimp?
Hi guys,
We’re aware of this issue and currently working on getting it fixed. For now, please add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:
.mc4wp-form input[name="_mc4wp_required_but_not_really"] { display: none !important; }
Sorry for the inconvenience, and know we’re working on it!
Thanks for the fix – it worked! I look forward to a permanent update soon.
Hey guys,
A quick request from Danny and me: could you please post links to the live sites where this is happening? We’re trying to figure out what’s happening and taking a look at source codes would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
We’ve just released MailChimp for WordPress v2.2.7 which should address this issue. If not, please let us know. As iMazed stated, a link to your site would be very helpful with this! 🙂
Thanks in advance, let us know if it still doesn’t work!
Hi Danny/iMazed
Update works for me on the Pro version (not tried the free version so can’t comment).
I see from the source code of my page that the surplus code is still being put in but your fix is there as well so problem still exists n main code. My site is (under development)

Many thanks for the rapid response.
Let us know when you sort it for good.

thanks for the support
Hi @lesm,
The field is supposed to be there, it is there to trick spam bots into filling it. it should just be hidden for human visitors. That way, if someone fills it we can pretty safely say it’s a spam bot thus we won’t do anything with the request.
It’s been in the plugin since day one, protecting your lists from spam sign-ups. In a recent update, we did some improvement to make it catch even more bots, which is what caused the field to become visible in a very small number of themes.
Hope that clarifies! 🙂 Glad to hear it’s not visible any longer.
updating to the new release of plugin mentioned above fixes for me.
Many thanks to the dev’s here for being so responsive.
Hi Danny, thanks for the explanation and apologies for not realising the code was intentional. Shows what a dipstick I am! 🙂
Thanks for the aftercare.
Regards
Les
Hi Ines and Danny,
The problem mentioned in this thread is still occurring on my site. you can check it out on this page (hebrew): http://yazamnik.com/facebook-and-instagram-image-guide/
the version of mc4wp_pro i have installed is your final one (updated today – 23/9/15).
I have paid campaigns running on my site, and this entirely messes up with my mobile responsiveness. please check it out ASAP.
