In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] Placeholders gone after updateHey larsgj —
When the plugin was updated, any custom PHP would be removed. However, the good news is we’ve rolled this feature into the plugin automatically, now. In order to get the placeholders back, you’ll want to set up “Default Merge Values” for your list. Here’s how:

Once those are set, you’ll want to go back to the “MailChimp Setup” tab in WordPress and click “Update List.” After that, you should see your default values as placeholders, automatically.
Cheers,

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] MailChimp Plugin v1.3 does not workHey Baweibel —
Can you give us some more information on the error message that you saw?
Also, who’s the host for your site?
Cheers,
NateHey again!
So far, I haven’t been able to replicate the same behavior on this end of things using the standard “evil popup” generated in my MailChimp list:

However, if there are other instances of javascript running on the page, we have our set to yield to avoid breaking things beyond repair. If that’s the case, the best bet might be to look into a “lightbox” style plugin specifically for WordPress.

Hey there Roger!
Generally that indicates that there’s some sort of blockage by the web host, which leaves us unable to verify the API key. You might want to check with your particular host to ensure that things are set up correctly and that should take care of it. Here’s a similar issue:
Let us know if we can assist in any other way!

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] The input fields have no ValueHey again!
Much like changing the name of the input fields, you can also add a “predefined value” in MailChimp, which carries over into the WordPress plugin. Here’s the information on that:

Again, after these changes are made, you’ll have to update your List by going to “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” -> “Update List”.

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] How to change the success message?Hey there, Kev.
You’ll also want to make sure to generate a new MO file in conjunction with editing the PO file. Otherwise, the old messages will remain in place. 🙁
For a bit more information on that, check out this thread:

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] Change input valueHey there!
The plugin for WordPress actually pulls these values directly from your MailChimp list. So, you’ll want to edit the fields in your MailChimp list, first and then update the list in WordPress.
How do I add more fields to my list?: http://eepurl.com/gOHW
To update the list, in your WordPress dashboard, go to “Settings” -> “MailChimp Setup” -> “Update List”.

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] Multiple inquiry forms on the same websiteHey there Peter.
Although this isn’t specific to the WordPress plugin, it’s still an excellent question.
The WordPress plugin only allows for a form to point to a single list, even though you can have as many instances of the form as you’d like through either the widget or the shortcode.
However, if you’d like to set up several different lists, as you mentioned, the MailChimp embed code is going to be the best fit. The embed code allows you to generate a unique form for each list that you want your subscribers to sign up to. Aside from some general information about lists and groups, your best bet is going to swing by our live chat and discuss the particulars of what you’re looking to do. We can also go over any potential drawbacks to one method or another.
What are groups and why would I want to set them up?: http://eepurl.com/gWOb
You can find our live chat open 8 AM – 6 PM ET, Monday through Friday.

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] How to alter the URL of the form?Hey again, Arka!
That information should be segment-able in your list as well as displayed on the individual subscriber profiles.

However, if you had a subscriber who signed up through Facebook, you’d see a specific Facebook option, there.
The same information should also be displayed in their individual profile. In this example, I was already a subscriber on this list before we made those changes, so my “source” was “pre-existing”. However, if a subscriber signed up through Facebook, you’d also see that, there.

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] How to alter the URL of the form?Hey there, Arka!
Currently, the plugin doesn’t allow for custom coding your own pre-defined groups, you might find our embedded form a better fit for that specific need:
How can I add my signup form to my website?: http://eepurl.com/gOGN
However, we do get this feedback quite often, and I’m happy to pass this along to the developers, as well. 🙂
Regarding Facebook, you’ve got a couple options! With a release we pushed out a few months ago, MailChimp can now track where some of your subscribers signed up at, including Facebook!
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/an-overview-of-a-subscribers-activity-history#source
However, if you’re wanting to add them to a specific group, automatically, your best bet is going to be to check out an integration called “ShortStack”:
http://connect.mailchimp.com/integrations/shortstack-for-facebook
They’ll let you embed a custom form on your Facebook page, so you can add people signing up there to a specific group.
Cheers
Right on! Happy to help. 🙂

In reply to: [Mailchimp List Subscribe Form] Google Chrome: Email Input Box HeightThanks for the link!
That is a bit strange. It seems like there’s some webkit-specific CSS that’s blowing things up, but I can’t seem to track it down, specifically.
However, if you assign a specific height to the input area, that should take care of it! Something like this ought to do the trick:
#mc_signup_form .mc_input { height: 10px;}That should force all browsers to render things to a specific height.
Cheers
