Hey there!
Happy to assist as much as I can. So it sounds like you want to include 2 signup forms that go to the same list, correct?
If that’s the case, you’ve got some options. It is possible to have multiple instances of the same signup form using the MailChimp widget. You’ll either need to drag the plugin to a widget area in your site or use the built-in shortcode! Check out the different shortcodes, here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailchimp/installation/
Another alternative would be to use some combination of the MailChimp plugin and the embedded form:

As far as sending one set of subscribers an E-book, depending on which form they use, I would use a MailChimp’s “smart merge tags”. We’ve got some pretty handy documentation on that, here:

Basically, in the Final Welcome email, you’d have something like:
*|IF:EBOOK|*Click here to download your Ebook!*|END:IF|*Our support team might be able to explain that in a little more detail, so feel free to swing by our live chat or shoot us an email at help[at]mailchimp.com.
Now, as far as modifying the style.css file, that’s a little more general. Essentially, you’re just adding CSS to your stylesheet based on the classes and IDs that are set up for the plugin. My personal favorite way to do this is to use Chrome and right-click on the element I want to modify:

From there, click on “Inspect Element”, which will bring up Chrome’s built-in developer tools. This will let you make temporary changes to your site, on the fly and have Chrome render them for you.

You can then add whatever changes you’ve made in Chrome to your site permanently by adding that styling to your Style.css file in your WordPress setup. 🙂
Here’s a general thread on this same topic:

Hey there!
Both of those things should be possible through your site’s CSS. Generally, to move up the email label and input area, you’d want to target the entire merge area and set some specific margins for it. Something like this should do the trick nicely:
.mc_merge_var { margin-top: -10px;}I just pulled -10px out of thin air, so you’ll definitely want to play with things a bit. As far as adjusting the subscribe button, the same idea, applies. You’ll want to target that specific class in your CSS and add it to your site’s Style.css file. You could set the constraints through “width” and “height” styling, like this:
#mc_signup_submit.button { width: 50%; height:100px;}Again, those values are completely made up, so a little trial and error will be in order!

Hey there, Jaycob!
You should be able to adjust the postion through CSS, as you’ve mentioned. You might also try setting the class to “display: block;” and see if that helps, as well. That gave me the best results after mucking around for a bit.
Hope that help!
Cheers
Hey again!
This is a conflict with the “label” style in the site’s CSS, independent of the plugin. You can edit that by going to “Appearance” -> “Editor” -> “Style.css”. From there, you should be able to adjust the styling for all “labels” in the theme.
Cheers
Hey there!
I had a peek at the site, but couldn’t find the form, off-hand. Is it hiding somewhere specific?
Hey there, Efrem.
In this case, the best option is going to be to use the MailChimp embedded form:
How can I add my signup form to my website?: http://eepurl.com/gOGN
That will allow you to use the hidden field and pass that information directly to a merge field in your list.
With our newest update to MailChimp, we do add some degree of tracking with regard how subscribers were added to the list. So, if someone signed up using the WordPress plugin, we actually note their profile with that information. For example:

Hey there!
I haven’t been able to replicate this in any other theme, so far, and generally this level of support goes above and beyond what we’re able to troubleshoot with regard to specific themes. However, it appears to be related to a CSS conflict. It looks like there’s a styling for “Labels” to be positioned as “absolute”:

If we get rid of that styling, things return to normal:

Hope that helps!

I ran into that same problem right after upgrading. However, after revoking access and re-granting access, things seemed to sync back up. Are you seeing problems even after reconnecting to Google?

Hey there!
For what you’re looking to do, your best bet is going to be to use CSS to style and position things in your theme. For instance, you could move the submit button to the left (so it lines up beneath the “Email” field) by using the following:
#mc_signup_submit.button { float:left;}Adding that to your Style.css file should give you something that looks like this:
Screenshot — http://cl.ly/image/301r1J2D3G1I
You can also use CSS to adjust the width and margin of the button so that it lines up perfectly (or near perfect) with the input area (which can also be adjusted through CSS). As far as placeholder text goes, there’s been quite a bit of discussion on this topic and some hack-arounds that might work for you. Check out these posts:

Hey again, Trevor!
It looks like there’s some other CSS in that site that’s causing the background color for that button to turn white:
body #wrapper #content .button, body #wrapper #content .button:visited, body #wrapper #content .reply a, body #wrapper #content #respond .form-submit input#submit { background: white;}While I can’t say for sure the best way to eliminate that conflict, when I disable that CSS, everything looks good!
