 * Hello;
    I am having issues with “your lists” being it drops the list I setup 
   which works well for a week or so then when I go in and check the setup again
   it has someone elses list in place of mine so my subscribers are being redirected
   to someone elses site.
 * I changed my api key three times now to no avail.
 * any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks
    Ron

 * Hey Ron!
 * Thanks for posting to the forum. I certainly understand the frustration over 
   that unexpected behavior.
 * However, to make sure we’re on the same page, when you connected the plugin to
   your MailChimp account, did it require the use of an API Key, or were you simply
   providing the login credentials for your account? If it’s through the use of 
   an API key, I suspect you may be using a different plugin, as the **MailChimp
   List Subscribe Form** uses OAuth to connect to an account, without the need for
   an API Key.
 * That said, if you’d like to provide us with the URL of the site where the plugin
   is located, we’ll be very happy to take a closer look to check if it’s our plugin.
 * Have a great day!

 * Thanks for the reply,
 * I am in fact using Mailchimp List Subscriber the mention of API was in reference
   to the mailchimp site, I tried to resolve the issue by changing API keys thinking
   that they may have been compromised. That turned out to be a dead end.
    Here 
   is the url of the site that I use it on [http://darlenebutts.com/](http://darlenebutts.com/)
 * Have a Great Day!

 * Hey Ron!
    It’s good to hear from you again.
 * To clarify, might we have a description of how it was determined that those are
   displaying the lists for someone’s else’s account? For example, does it appear
   to display lists that aren’t currently in your MailChimp account?
 * Additionally, can you either provide us with a link to your hosted signup form
   for a list your account (using the EepURL), either by linking to it here or emailing
   it over to wordpress [at] mailchimp [dot] com?
 * Finally, to ensure there isn’t some sort of incompatibility with the WordPress
   install, were you noticing improvements after disabling other plugins?
 * Looking forward to your reply!

 * Hi mc_elliot!
    thanks for taking the time to assist me.
 * when I log into wp as admin I check the settings and in the window that shows
   me which list is being used someone elses list is displaying and my list is gone
   and to answer your question the lists that show are not setup in my mailchimp
   account.
 * Is this what you need ? [http://darlenebutts.com/#mc_signup](http://darlenebutts.com/#mc_signup)
 *  or
 * [http://darlenebutts.com/](http://darlenebutts.com/)
 * and no compatibility issues that I am aware of.
 * Thanks For All Your Help !

 * Hey Rob_B,
 * Thanks for writing back in. I was able to confirm that the form in use on that
   page was ours, and we wouldn’t expect for it to pull list data from another account,
   as the plugin would only be authenticated for the one MailChimp account. In order
   for us to dig into this further, we’ll need a bit more information. If you can
   [grab a screenshot](http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-do-i-send-a-screenshot/)
   of wpadmin area in your site where the incorrect list is showing as well as the
   eepURL for your [hosted signup form that can be found in MailChimp](http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-do-i-share-my-signup-form/#url)
   and send those along to [wordpress@mailchimp.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-lists/wordpress@mailchimp.com?output_format=md),
   we’ll be happy to take a closer look. Be sure to reply here when those are sent
   over so that we know to check the inbox.
 * We look forward to hearing back!

 * Hey Ron,
 * Thanks for emailing us with that extra information. I was able to confirm that
   the form is currently connected to the correct list and working as expected. 
   Because of the way that the authorization process works when setting up the WordPress
   plugin, we would only expect the application to have access to the one connected
   account. In this case, if you’re seeing the available lists changing on the Settings
   page for the MailChimp plugin, there are two possible explanations for what’s
   going on.
 * One possibility is that someone with access to the MailChimp account is changing
   the list names. When making changes to the MailChimp lists, we would expect to
   see the new MailChimp list names in the plugin settings. However, if you’re able
   to log into the account and confirm that those new lists aren’t there, then this
   isn’t likely what’s going on.
 * The other possibility is that someone else with admin access to your WordPress
   dashboard is changing the account, and with that the lists, that the MailChimp
   plugin is connected to. Just to be safe, I would recommend [changing the username/password](http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password)
   used to log into the WordPress admin Dashboard if no one else has been given 
   access to it.
 * If you’re still seeing the account and lists change for the plugin, then I would
   recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the plugin. In addition to removing
   the plugin from the Plugins page of the WordPress Dashboard, I would also recommend
   revoking access to the application from within [the API keys page in MailChimp](http://eepurl.com/im9k).
   This fresh installation will help to ensure that everything is running smoothly.
 * If you’re still seeing this behavior happen after completing these steps, please
   feel free to post again. if so, please provide the steps that you took to set
   up the Plugin from scratch, as that should help us get a clearer picture of what’s
   going on.
 * Thanks again!
    -Gunter
