Hmm… that’s definitely weird!
Once i disabled hat automatic paragraph tag option, things seemed to fall back into line for me. Unfortunately, I’m afraid I haven’t been able to replicate it past that.
Hey again,
Happy to help with that. As far as that “Your Best Email…” input goes, you’ll really need to revert the changes made by the “hacky” way of setting that predefined value and set that information back up in your list. You could uninstall and reinstall the plugin and it should fix the php that was modified. The easiest and best way to set those values is going to be from the MailChimp side of things:
How do I set default merge values (like Dear Customer)?: http://eepurl.com/hcDC
After that, you’ll want to use the “Update List” option under “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” to refresh the information that your plugin is seeing.
As far as getting things to line up, the quickest way to do that is to dump the input boxes down on the next line with the following CSS:
#mc_signup_form .mc_input { display:block;}For more information about styling, check out this thread:

Hey again.
Apologies for the delay, as I was away last week. As far as this specific issue is concerned, unfortunately it’s a css-related conflict.
Turns out, I was looking in the entirely wrong place. Instead of being overflow-related, it appears to be height related. Let’s try this, instead:
input#mc_signup_submit { height: auto;}Just to set expectations properly, while we definitely do our best to help out with the plugin and styling-related questions, your best bet in many cases is going to be to contact your web developer. Because each site theme has it’s own CSS and active plugins, we aren’t able to troubleshoot every styling issue.
With that said, however, if we can help with anything else, please don’t hesitate to give us a shout! We’ll be happy to give it a shot! 😀

Hey again, Brad!
In order to get those fields to populate, you’d need to change the actual list fields on the MailChimp side of things. After that, you’d need to update the list within the plugin’s settings in WordPress.
Hopefully that points you in the right direction!
Hey there, Brad!
Sorry I didn’t get to this one in time. Any time you want to make changes to the list, you’ll need to use the “Update List” button in the settings for the plugin. You’ll want to go to “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” -> “Update List”.
Glad to see you’ve gotten it taken care of, though!
Cheers
Aaand as soon as I posted that, I realized I missed something vital.
I had to disable the “automatically add paragraph tags” to get things to work.

This one left me scratching my head for a little bit. However, I think we’ve got it.
I was only able to replicate this same behavior when I used the shortcode in a widget area. I added two extra line breaks in the widget area and that’s what caused the awkward spacing between the title for the widget and the actual form. However, if the shortcode is the first thing in the widget area, that should alleviate any extra spacing issues.

Hey cassy!
In regards to that level of customization, I can’t say for sure whether or not this will work, so buyer beware! 😉
However, you might try setting the submit button to “display: none;”, as that will essentially hide the button from view. Your best bet for this sort of thing would be to consult with your web developer just to ensure that everything works as expected, however.
Cheers
Hey there!
Would you mind giving me a little more information about what other plugins you’re using? If there is some sort of javascript conflict going on, you could try to disable javascript for the MailChimp plugin by going to “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” and disabling both the form’s javascript and the Datepicker UI javascript:

Give me a shout back and I’ll be happy to have a peek! 🙂

Radical! Glad to hear that things got worked out. 🙂
If you have any other questions, give us a shout!

Glad to hear you’re all sorted! 🙂
Hey there!
While that’s not exactly what our plugin is designed to do, there are other plugins that allow for this option. For more information, check out our connect directory, here:

Hey again!
I totally see the logic there. 😉
We appreciate the feedback!

Hey again!
Based on what I’m seeing with the site, it appears that there’s a slight CSS conflict with the page, as a whole. From tinkering around, the overflow set for inputs, overall, seems to be causing some problems for the submit button specifically. However, if you set the overflow to hidden just for that submit button, that should alleviate things!
Something like this:
input#mc_signup_submit { overflow: hidden;}Cheers!
Hey again!
Just wanted to circle back around to this issue.
When the field is marked as “hidden” from the MailChimp side of things, we won’t display that on any form — hosted or through this plugin. However, you’ve got a workaround going on here, so that certainly works too!
Our other suggestion would be to go into the form and temporarily mark it as “visible”. Then, update your List Settings in the plugin (so that the field becomes public). Because the form won’t update, automatically, you could go back into your MailChimp list and mark it as “hidden” again, but still have it visible on the form in WordPress.
Cheers!
