Hey there, Axel!
If you’re wanting to change that field’s name, that actually needs to be done from the MailChimp side of things, first.
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/tips-for-customizing-your-signup-forms#changingfieldnames
After that has been saved within your list, you’ll want to go back to your WordPress dashboard and go to “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” and then click on “Update List”. This will update any field names in your list!
Save your settings and you should be rockin’ and rollin’.
Let us know if we can assist with anything else!
Cheers

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] [Plugin: MailChimp List Subscribe Form] CSSHey there, Tim!
Would you mind sending a link to your site so I can have a closer look?
As far as the “Preferred Format” option, I do have a nifty little hack-around that should let you disable that option within the plugin. Check out this post:
I’ll be happy to take a closer look at the site, too!
Cheers
Hey there!
No need to actually re-import those people to your MailChimp list. What that error message is trying to convey is that you’ll need to re-import your MailChimp lists to WordPress. To do that, click on the “Update Lists” button in the “MailChimp Setup” screen:

Hey there, Weslinda!
Appreciate the heads up. I’ll get this over to the proper folks!

Hey again, Peter!
I had a peek using Firefox for OSX and Windows 7, but everything looks good on this end:
Windows 7 — http://cl.ly/image/1J0O0g0t3H0r
OSX — http://cl.ly/image/0u0k0P0Q173yUnfortunately, it sounds like there might be something local going on?
Hey there!
That’s certainly odd. Could you send a screenshot or a link to the website with the plugin activated so I can have a closer look? Are there any other plugins being used, by chance? And which theme is currently being used on the page?
Give us a shout back!
Cheers
Hey there, Fonderco!
To my Knowledge, we don’t offer that ability through the plugin. However, we do have an article on how to accomplish that same behavior on MailChimp’s hosted forms, here:

Hey there, Trevor!
Generally, the best way to do this is to isolate that specific ID and class in the CSS, and style it manually. I like to use Chrome’s “Developer Tools” to narrow it down by right clicking on the area I want to change and go to “Inspect Element”. From there, you can isolate and change specific CSS elements.
For the “subscribe” button, you’ll want to add this to your site’s Style.css file:
#mc_signup_submit.button { background-color: blue; color: white;}That should give you something that looks like this:

Of course, “blue” and “white” are interchangeable with any other color or hex code. 🙂

Hey there, Peter!
Can you shoot me a link to your site so I can have a closer look? When I check out Taco’s site in Firefox, things seem to render as expected:

Hey Mandy,
There’s a copule of questions here, so let’s take them one at a time. For the checkbox, you could add a group to your list and ask people to check the box to be added to the list. However, there’s not a built-in way for us to prevent someone from joining a list without checking that box. Your best bet in this case may be to get creative with javascript and the MailChimp embedded form for displaying the “subscribe” button conditionally. If you’re not super-stoked on coding your own form, we do have some epxerts who would be able to assist in that avenue.
With regard to a subscriber who’s already on a list, it depends on how you set up your “content” list. If that’s a separate list in your account completely, you could have people sign up to this second list that’s entirely independent from your “main” list. However, if you just wanted to set it up as a group within the main list, they will see a message that they’re already subscribed to that list.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Hey there!
This is actually the intended behavior for the plugin, but there’s definitely a workaround to get your desired end result. Because the plugin doesn’t reflect the “live” settings of the list, there’s a way we can “trick” the plugin into hiding that text.
In your MailChimp list, you’ll want to temporarily remove the predefined value for that merge field in your list. After you save it with no value, in your WordPress dashboard, go to “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” -> “Update List”.
This will update the plugin so that it sees no information for that predefined merge field.
Then, in your MailChimp list, you can re-add that value and the plugin won’t pull it over until the list is “updated” again.
Let me know if that doesn’t make sense, I’ll be happy to clarify!
Cheers
Happy to help!

Hey again, Dianne!
No worries. You should just need to plunk in
[mailchimpsf_form]without anything extra. Just add that to the body of your post or to your sidebar (or where ever!) and we’ll handle the rest.Cheers

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] [Plugin: MailChimp List Subscribe Form] CSSHey there!
Generally we would recommend disabling the “Custom Styling” option within the settings for the plugin (“MailChimp Setup”). That should pull any styling for the Style.css file rather than the included CSS:
