 * hey guys and girls,
 * My site is [http://hillik.com/](http://hillik.com/)
 * I installed the plugin a few days ago. I don’t use a sidebar or widgets and I
   had installed it with the 1 line code (short code didnt work) in the footer.php
   of my theme (Portfolio by theme foundry).
    the form shows but it doesn’t do anything
   when hitting the submit button.
 * I’m not a developer, I’m an illustrator so I can’t tell if anything is missing
   from the code and why it wont work. it seems to connect with Mailchimp just fine
   and the API key appears correctly.
 * if there’s a simple solution please let me know – a developer I know told me 
   he thinks it conflicts with the slider of my theme, but I can’t tell for myself
   so please assist.
 * thank you!

 * Hey hilik,
 * Thank you for using our plugin!
 * I’ve taken a look at your website and saw that you’ve probably copy/pasted the
   form markup directly into your footer.php file. If that’s the case, there are
   a few things missing. Our plugin will automatically add in certain bits needed
   to correctly process the form. If you want to use the shortcode directly in a
   themefile, please use this:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[mc4wp_form]'); ?>`
 * That should do the trick! (This also means there is no conflict with your slider,
   by the way!)

 * dear Ines,
 * thank you so much for your reply but sadly it didn’t work.
    when I paste your
   suggestion in, it’s just showing the line
 * <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[mc4wp_form]’); ?>
 * as a text in my footer without the form at all. the only thing that was working
   in showing the form correctly until now (though not functioning) was the full
   code:
 * <b> Subscribe to My Newsletter </b> <input type=”email” name=”email” placeholder
   =”Your email address” required />
    <input type=”submit” value=”subscribe” />
 * maybe I can add something to the full code to make it work?
 * thank you again!
 * Hilli
