 * Hello,
 * The plugin doesn’t appear to be able to catch the email address out of my custom
   form.
 * What exactly does the plugin search for so that I can ensure that my custom form
   is set up such a way that the email address is detected?
 * Thanks so much!
 * David

 * Hey David,
 * if the form uses default WordPress functions to send the email, then our plugin
   can integrate with it. Make sure you have enabled the integration and also check“
   MailChimp for WP > Others” to see if any errors are listed.

 * Hi Harish,
 * Thanks for the quick response.
 * Just to clarify, does that mean that it isn’t possible to integrate with a form
   that doesn’t use WordPress functions to send the email?

 * Hello David,
 * Yes that is correct, as otherwise our plugin has no way to know what data is 
   being sent.
