# Cannot save settings

 * On the MailChimp settings panel, there is an error immediately after the
    “Current
   MailChimp Status” field: `Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could
   not be converted to string in ####/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-framework/mailchimp-
   framework.php on line 473`
 * The mailchimp userid and password are not correct for the site — but I’m unable
   to change them because there’s no “save” button. The fatal error stops the plugin
   before the “save” button is shown, it seems. Perhaps saving the correct values
   would remove the error?
 * After I navigate around the admin area a bit, I get an error about number of 
   login attempts, and the mailchimp account gets locked for awhile.
 * Maybe uninstalling the plugin completely will remove the mailchimp settings, 
   so the error won’t show up, and I’ll be able to input the correct settings.

 * I see a similar (perhaps the same) problem. It looks line 473 assumes that this-
   >ping() returns a string.
 * If there’s an error, however, it returns an object, which “echo” can’t process.
 * A quick hack is to change line 473 from:
 * `<?php echo $this->ping(); ?>`
 * To this:
 * `<?php print_r($this->ping()); ?>`
 * That should get rid of the error.
