Adding form field to Top Bar not working

    Hi,

    I’ve added the following code to functions.php

    add_action( 'mctb_before_submit_button', function() {
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="SOURCE" id="SOURCE" value="MC4WP TopBar" />';
});

add_filter( 'mctb_data', function( $vars ) {
    $vars['SOURCE'] = ( isset( $_POST['SOURCE'] ) ) ? sanitize_text_field( $_POST['SOURCE'] ) : '';
    return $vars;
});

    And when I inspect the HTML of the live page in Chrome it shows the following above the submit button:
    <input type="hidden" name="SOURCE" id="SOURCE" value="MC4WP TopBar">

    But MailChimp doesn’t pick up any value for SOURCE. How can I get it to work?

    I also added the following line to the form of the regular MC4WP plugin (not the top bar) and it works fine:
    <input type="hidden" name="SOURCE" id="SOURCE" value="MC4WP OnPage" />

    Cheers,
    Pete

    Could you test to see if this works:

    add_filter( ‘mctb_data’, function( $vars ) {
    $vars[‘SOURCE’] = ‘TESTING’;
    return $vars;
    });

    If it doesn’t we know we have to look at your functions.php, if it does we have to look at how the topbar dat is submitted.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    Thanks for replying!

    I added the following…

    add_action( 'mctb_before_submit_button', function() {
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="SOURCE" id="SOURCE" value="MC4WP TopBar" />';
});

add_filter( ‘mctb_data’, function( $vars ) {
$vars[‘SOURCE’] = ‘TESTING’;
return $vars;
});

    to functions.php.

    It didn’t work. The ‘Source’ field within Mailchimp is still blank.

    Hey Pete,

    Can you please try below code instead (please comment out or remove the previous code)

    add_filter( 'mctb_data', function($data) {
	$data['SOURCE'] = "MC4WP TopBar";
	return $data;
});

    I noticed an issue with the formatting of the previous code.
