 * I went through the proper steps to activate and set up. When I drag the widget
   in the sidebar, I get a “There are no options for this widget” I went back, checked
   the settings, made sure I chose the right list and clicked “Update Subscribe 
   From Settings”. I can see a message at the top of the page that says:
 * Successfully Updated your List Subscribe Form Settings!
 * Still, I get the error message in the widget area…can you help?

 * Hey Scottshep,
 * Thanks for writing in to the forum. This is actually expected! For our plugin,
   the widget area is moreso intended to be used to drag where you want your sign
   up form to be in your layout. To make changes to your plugin’s settings (like
   what MailChimp account it’s tied to), you’ll want to make changes from the plugin
   settings area, rather than the widget area.
 * To do this, login to your WordPress Admin area, then go to Plugins > Installed
   Plugins. From there, go to the MailChimp plugin and click settings. You should
   then be prompted to set up your account with the plugin, designate which list
   to connect with, as well as a few other options!
 * If you have any questions, just let us know. 🙂
