I would like a checkbox (similar to your new GDPR checkbox) present on this form but not on the front page form – I couldn’t figure out how to limit when your GDPR checkbox is visible on which forms so I had tried to do it through mailchimp…which didn’t work! haha – is there a way to have the GDPR checkbox on only 1 form but not another?
Agh, I understand. You have a few options.
(1) You could create a new Easy Forms form based on your same MailChimp list. On this second form, you don’t add the OPTEDIN field at all. (And you keep your existing form on the homepage as it is). OR, you add the field on the second form but you don’t make it required.
(2) You could also use our GDPR plugin and add a filter function that removes the GDPR checkbox from a certain page. Unfortunately we don’t have this option built-in to the plugin yet (although we do plan on having it in the future) but here is the code that would remove the checkbox from your Contact Us page:
// Remove the GDPR checkbox from a specific page
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-eu-compliance-checkbox-text-html', 'yikes_mailchimp_remove_GDPR_checkbox', 10, 1 );
function yikes_mailchimp_remove_GDPR_checkbox( $checkbox_text ) {
global $post;
// Remove checkbox from /contact-us/ page (ID = 3155)
if ( $post->ID === 3155 ) {
return '';
}
return $checkbox_text;
}
Let me know if either of those would work and if you need any help moving forward with them 🙂

Ok – so for the first option, I actually do have a separate form I’m using there that does not include the OPTIN in the fields (it’s an option based on the form fields in MC but I’ve not added it into this form). So I don’t think that works because I run into the same issue…
I’ll try the code – but confirming, this is for whole site CSS not single page (I’ll just reference single page in the code)?
Hey sorry about the delay Kayley I left the office a few minutes before you sent that.
You’re right: you’re definitely using two separate forms based on the same MC list.
When I looked at your form on /contact-us/ yesterday, the checkbox appeared to be added to the form and set as hidden. You’re sure this was not the case? I don’t know how the field would be present on the form if it wasn’t added…
Let me know if you have time to debug this today. I’d like for you to remove the OPTIN field from your 2nd form (/contact-us/) and let me know so I can check it out. I don’t want your form to be unusable in the meantime though so we should coordinate it.

Hi Kevin! Sorry for the delay – I was in full day client meetings but I can do this today, tomorrow or Friday!
Hi Kayley. I’m around today if you are. Let me know.

Hi Kevin – sounds good. So do you want me to remove the optin field now?
Hi Kayley, I need to leave soon so please let me know 🙂
I’m seeing the Easy Forms checkbox present on the form and no OPTEDIN field. Is this what you wanted?

Ideally, I wanted the OPTEDIN field so I can track who has opted in from this form or not (vs. the other form on the home page) so I tried this but this will not let visitors submit the form without checking the box (which is not what I want – this should be optional).
Understood. Can you deactivate our GDPR plugin and then add the OPTEDIN field to only the form on your homepage?
Hi Kayley,
I just tested both forms and they’re both working perfectly. I don’t know what was going on before but you should be good to go now.
The only thing to note is that you may want to change your OPTEDIN field from a text field to a checkbox.
Cheers,
Kevin.
P.S. I subscribed to both lists and will be unsubscribing shortly. Hope that doesn’t throw off anything with your lists.
