# Changing API key break my forms

 * Hi,
 * I have a WordPress with about 8 forms (I have 4 languages and two forms in my
   site). I need to change the MailChimp account where those forms link. The problem
   is that when I change the API key in your plugin settings, I can’t edit my forms
   anymore. A JS error appear in the console because the previous list is not found
   anymore and options of the form doesn’t load.
 * Is there away to avoid recreating the whole 8 forms from scratch? I had similar
   problem in another site and the only way to solve the problem I found was to 
   delete the form and create a new one.
 * I also tried to empty the mailing list API cache but nothing happened.
 * Maybe this is a bug of an unexpected situation in your plugin settings?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hello [@andreu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreu/),
 * If you are switching to a completely different MailChimp account, unfortunately
   the forms are going to need to be created again. It’s a different API key and
   connected to a different account.
 * Sorry about that!

 * Hi [@liljimmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liljimmi/),
 * I managed to solve this by exporting my 8 lists to a CSV file and rename the 
   old list ID with the new one.
 * Just a suggestion: maybe you can put a list selector inside each form instead
   letting your JS broke the entire form after change the API key?
 * Thanks anyway for the great plugin.
 * Best,
