Hi maedcasa
At the moment we haven’t built in support for CAPTCHA, but the double optin option should do nearly as good of a job preventing spam as it requires the user to verify the email before being added to any lists.
We will certainly look into building in CAPTCHA support into our future releases.

Hi MaEdCaSa,
I’ve been working on implementing CAPTCHA into the next release of the plugin. I currently have an alpha version set up, which has CAPTCHA functioning properly.
If you’d like to give it a try, you can email me at Evan@yikesinc.com , and I’ll send over the latest working version. It’d be great to get a few testers before I push anything into the repository.
Thanks,
Evan
Hello,
I just installed your Easy MailChimp Forms plugin a while ago, and I want to say Thank you for such a seamless transaction! I didn’t have one issue and it installed perfectly! And after going thru 7 other plugins that gave me major headaches, this experience was quite refreshing! Getting connected to Mailchimp was literally flawless, and worked on the very first try…so thank you for that!
So, my support request is nothing major, but I do need assistance with the following:
1) I have added my reCaptcha keys, but the reCaptcha box is not showing up on my form
2) How do I customize the “Submit” button, as it is not showing the actual text the way it is shown on the button on my form in Mail Chimp.
3) Is there anyway to verify the IP address of a subscriber so they can get a message instead of seeing the form again?
Kind Regards.

Hi Jacquie,
Thank you for the kind words regarding the plugin. We put a lot of time and hard work in to it, so I’m glad that you are finding the interaction between MailChimp and WordPress seamless.
1) In regards to your support requests, are you sure that you have added the correct reCAPTCHA Public and Private API keys? If you enable reCAPTCHA and enter the proper keys, the reCAPTCHA form should appear just below the form without any further adjustments needing to be made.
2) You can customize the Submit button by altering the submit_text parameter within the shortcode. For example, here is a sample shortcode:
[yks-mailchimp-list id="adf9331235" submit_text="Submit"]
You’ll notice the submit_text="Submit" parameter in the shortcode. Adjust the text within the quotes to change the default submit button text.
3) As of right now there currently is no way of displaying a message instead of the signup form, if the user has previously signed up. I’m not sure there is an simple way of achieving this, as I don’t think MailChimp stores IP addresses. I will have a look into this feature for an upcoming release and see if their is a reasonable way of achieving this.
Thanks,
Evan
Hi Evan!
Thank you for the reply!
Here is what I noticed:
The reCaptcha does show on all my mobile devices, but for some reason, not on my computer.
As for the button text, I was able to change it per your instructions, thanks!
Regarding displaying a message instead of the form, I ran a test, and it appears that if a user attempts to, or accidentally subscribes a second time, MailChimp displays a message that says:
username@someemail.com is already subscribed.
So it obviously tracks based on email address which helps.
Thanks so much Evan, and I will be looking out for the new release!
Regards,
Jacquie…
