 * Hi there,
    Are you testing locally or on a live site? It may not add to your 
   Mailchimp list if it’s done locally, on a testing site.
 * Also, did you make sure to choose a list to add users to after saving your API
   keys?

 * I’m having the same problem, actually.
 * Created a new page, added the Mailchimp code, and then published the page. The
   page itself works fine, but if I add any email address of mine to the list, it
   tells me that it’s successful but I do not see them in my Mailchimp admin console.
 * I entered the correct API, selected the list for users, and saved the Mailbag
   settings.
 * I took this down for now but wanted to give my 2 cents on this.

 * Thanks for the heads up, Tim. I’ll give this another look this afternoon and 
   see if I can find out why you guys are having trouble.

 * No problem!
 * If it helps, the URL for my newsletter sign up is: [https://timdehring.com/newsletter](https://timdehring.com/newsletter).
   It’s published, but hidden from navigation for now.

 * Hi guys,
    After some testing, it seems that the plugin is working as it should.
   When you add a subscriber to a list, it takes a little while for it to show up
   on the Mailchimp site in your list. You should be able to see the user added 
   in your overview (Chimp Chatter) section.
 * Also, a user has to confirm they want to subscribe to the list via email before
   they are added. So if the user doesn’t accept, it won’t show up in the list.

 * Thanks for taking the time to check into it. For some reason, it still isn’t 
   working on my end. I will try a few other troubleshooting ideas and go from there.
