 * Hi Dane,
 * What exactly do you mean by “Submit API”? Saving the options (containing the 
   API key) in the admin panel, submitting a comment or submitting a mc4wp shortcode
   form?
 * Thanks.

 * Clicking the submit button to save the API key on the options page loads the 
   front page of the blog and fails to save the API key.
 * I ended up just using the official MC plugin and it worked, so I’ve uninstalled
   this plugin. If needed I can set up a copy of the site and reinstall this one
   to answer any questions, but it will be late next week before i’ll have the time
   to do that.

 * Hi Dane,
 * No problem, glad you got the official MC plugin to work. Strange issue though,
   I’m still interested to look into this so if you happen to find yourself with
   any time I would greatly appreciate it.
 * Short question which you should be able to answer right away, which version of
   WordPress are you running and which browser are you using?
 * Thanks.
 * Danny

 * I get the same issue, trying to save the API-code and ends up on the webpage 
   front (and nothing is saved). Using the latest WP and Chrome versions. MailChimp
   hasn’t received any attempt to communicate.

 * For any others coming across this topic, most likely you’re not using the shortcode
   but copying the form mark-up instead.
 * Use `[mc4wp-form]` to render a sign-up form inside your posts, pages or text 
   widgets. **Don’t copy the form mark-up.**
