* Hi Danny,
* I use this plugin for comments on:
* `ruzzleonline.nl`
* I did a comment myself with an emailaddress which is not in the list for Mailchimp
yet, however, nothing happens…
* Do you know what is the problem?
* Kind regards,
* Willem-Siebe

* Hi Danny,
* I tested it with the e-mail from my wife, and that works fine…
But I just don’t
understand why I didn’t work with my emailaddress (thats not in the list).

* Hi Willem,
* Really strange indeed, could you try testing with a widget form with just an
email address field while being logged in to WordPress as an administrator. The
plugin will show any errors MailChimp might return then (it won’t when using
the checkbox).
* Thanks.

* Hi Danny,
* The form with only the emailfield isn’t going to work, since I have two required
fields:
* > Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later.
> Admin only message: there seems to be a problem with one of your merge fields.
> Maybe you forgot to add a required merge field to your form?
> MailChimp error: FNAME must be provided – Please enter a value
* I will do the test later on when I added that field and let you know the error.
* Kind regards,
* Willem

* Hi Danny,
* I don’t know what I did the last time, but now everything works:
* – I used the widgetcode form, got an e-mail;
– I did a reply on website, and
got the e-mail again.
* Thanks for your help and congrats with this great plugin.
* One question: can I track how many subscribers came from leaving reply’s, how
many from the form (if you use it) etc?
* Kind regards,
* Willem

* Hi, I did not changed anything on the website that make it work, please follow
the advice of Danny first to see if you get an error.
* As you can read in my posts, it suddenly worked (don’t know why). Other emailaddresses
already worked like I also wrote in my previous posts.
* Good luck!

* Hi Dany

Form mark up , but each time I submit the form its giving me “General error message:
Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later.” .. Did not understand the
issue..

* [@willem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willem/), I’m looking to add statistics
to the plugin but most likely I will release this in a premium version of the
plugin. This version will only cost a few bucks as I enjoy working on the plugin
but donations aren’t really making up for all the time I put in anymore.

* Hi Rudrajit,
* Glad you got it to work. Do you remember which setting you missed? Probably more
people are making the same “mistake”, I’d like to add a pointer to the plugin
when they do. 🙂
* Thanks, Danny.

* Hi there Danny, great plugin.
* How can we use it coding it “manually” rather than using a shortcode?
* Appreciate your help.

* Hi Fernando,
* You want to show the form straight from your template files or what exactly do
you want to do?
* To show the form in a theme file, use the following PHP snippet.
* ``
* To add a sign-up checkbox to ANY form, add the following HTML to the form.
* ``
* Let me know what you want to accomplish and I’ll see what I can do to make my
plugin more flexible. 🙂

* Danny,
* I am also getting the General error message: “Oops. Something went wrong. Please
try again later.”
* What should I do?
