   If you need more help after reading that KB article please let me know the underlying
   error in the log under MailChimp for Wp > Other. No need to paste the complete
   error log, just the 1 error regarding your own test submission of the form is
   enough.
 * [@mukarram](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mukarram/) I recommend creating
   your own thread on this forum to get the best response.
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let me know!

 * Hi,
 * Please go to MailChimp for WP > MailChimp and click the “Renew MailChimp Lists”
   button.
    Then go to MailChimp for WP > Form > Settings and make sure a list is
   selected for the form (and that that list (audience) still exists in your MailChimp
   account).
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let me know!

 * [@lapzor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lapzor/) is it possible that some
   of the plugins that I have installed on my website are creating this issue like
   word fence?

 * Thanks for the error log. I notice you now get error 503.
 * It seems your hosting server IP is blocked by the MailChimp firewall. This is
   not something we can control, it’s not our firewall or plugin doing this, it’s
   the Akamai firewall.
 * Akamai is the firewall MailChimp and many other major websites use to protect
   their servers, which is why this is somewhat harder to fix.
 * If you are on shared hosting your server IP is shared with a number of clients,
   it’s possible that one of the other clients did something to get the IP blacklisted
   by the Akamai firewall.
 * When this happens, we recommend you to change your IP address because having 
   a bad reputation at Akamai does not just affect the MailChimp API.
 * There are various ways to go about this.
    Ask your webhost for a new IP address.
   Migrate to a new webhost if your hosting company is unwilling to fulfill your
   request. Configure your server to connect to the MailChimp API server using a
   proxy.
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let us know!
