 * Hey guys thanks for an awesome Plug-in.
    After really researching the oops problem
   I am still clueless.
 * I get :
 * [2016-10-09 15:12:09] ERROR: Form 562 > MailChimp API error: 400 Bad Request.
   Your merge fields were invalid.
    – FNAME: Please enter a value – LNAME: Please
   enter a value – MMERGE3: Please enter a value – MMERGE4: Please enter a value
 * although values are set and good.
    funny thing is it seems to work sometimes 
   and mostly it doesnt, which is peculiar. checked required and tags a million 
   times , changed API key. still clueless.
 * PS website is in Hebrew : likelee.co/register
    so hopefully you will understand
   something.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * I suggest making a new form for the same list with just Fname, Lname and Email(
   make sure no other fields are set to be required in MailChimp under the list 
   settings.
 * If that form does work, add the phone number field, test again.
 * If that works, move on to the next merge field, until the problem occurs.
 * Please let us know the results of your test.
 * For more help, please include a screenshot of your form builder and of the list
   of fields from MailChimp.com list settings.

 * I’m having the exact same problem. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn’t.
   On mobile it never does. The error shown is:
 *     ```
       ERROR: Form 60 > MailChimp API error: 400 Bad Request. Your merge fields were invalid.
       - NOME: Please enter a value
       - SOBRENOME: Please enter a value
       - ESTADO: Please enter a value
       - CIDADE: Please enter a value
       ```
   
 * I checked the steps on the Knowledge Base regarding the oops problem, but couldn’t
   find out what was wrong. Tried to create a form just from the plugin’s “insert
   field” buttons, and also copying an entire html embbed generated by Mailchimp.
   I tried to uninstall and reinstall the plugin to get the original plugin’s html
   build for the form, but it saves whatever I had in the form builder on the previous
   installation.
 * Here’s how my form builder currently looks:
    ⌊Form Builder Screenshot⌉ And here’s
   my List Fields and Tags on Mailchimp: ⌊List's Fields And Tags⌉

   I’ll be doing the Lap suggested, but can you get any more clues from the screenshots?

 * Hey thanks for the quick response,
    Actually the first thing I did was open up
   a new form and start over, didn’t work. Did the steps as you suggested.
 * FNAME LNAME MMERGE3 MMERGE4 somehow dont get values, it works 60/40 from chrome
   when I am logged in (so I guess thats not a good sign), from mobile it never 
   works there’s always an OOPS and the log points out to the error I wrote ^.
 * I am sure the list is OK. I tried everything without required tag and updated
   it in mail-chimp list as well, without required fields it actually works but 
   all the fields that aren’t required stay blank when user subscribes which makes
   it useless.
 * I will upload SCSHOT right away thanks for your time !!!
