Please make sure the username the one that corresponds to when the account was created (other users will not work), and that the username and password is an exact match (verify by copy and pasting what you entered in the widget settings to sign in to Constant Contact).

Hi, this is what you need:

line 52:

echo '<div data-idx="'.$i.'"><input type="text" name="sf_red['.$i.'][0]" value="'.$red[$i][0].'" style="width:300px;"><span> &raquo; </span><input type="text" name="sf_red['.$i.'][1]" value="'.$red[$i][1].'" style="width:300px;"><select name="sf_red['.$i.'][2]"><option value="1"'.($red[$i][2]=='1'?' selected="selected"':'').'>301 permanent</option><option value="2"'.($red[$i][2]=='2'?' selected="selected"':'').'>302 temporary</option><option value="7"'.($red[$i][2]=='7'?' selected="selected"':'').'>307 temporary</option><select></div>';

line 53:

echo '<div data-idx="'.$i.'"><input type="text" name="sf_red['.$i.'][0]" onchange="if (this.value) sf_red_add();" placeholder="url-to-match" style="width:300px;"><span> &raquo; </span><input type="text" name="sf_red['.$i.'][1]" placeholder="destination-url" style="width:300px;"><select name="sf_red['.$i.'][2]"><option value="1">301 permanent</option><option value="2">302 temporary</option><option value="7">307 temporary</option><select></div>'

Hi lottieb! Thank you for posting this information! The current Constant Contact API requires a developer account for which there are usage limits, and we could be billed for making too many API calls. This becomes problematic since this is a free plugin, with potentially tons of API calls across all installed websites, we don’t want users to run into limits relying on our developer account. We would also have had to recoup potential costs of maintaining the developer API account through advertising in the plugin.

So we decided to keep it simple and use the old API. Although the old API is no longer actively updated, it has been maintained for the last number of years and I believe too many websites rely on that for Constant Contact to remove that API endpoint.

If you are familiar with PHP and HTML, locate the function sf_constantcontact_form, and add:

placeholder=”…”

in the appropriate input fields. If you are just trying to change the labels, just change the text inside these bits

__(‘Email’)
__(‘First Name’)
__(‘Last Name’)

Hi jasonpaulweber! Thank you for taking time to provide feedback! We apologize for the confusion, we are not trying to mislead anyone, we’ve made an honest effort to make it clear this plugin is an interface to our service in the plugin description and on our website. We will revisit our wording to provide greater transparency about this plugin.

MemberFindMe is not a premium plugin, we provide a (SAAS) service like Constant Contact, SalesForce, etc. MemberFindMe is a fully standalone membership and event system. We store the membership and event data (using triple redundant in-memory databases for speed, with multiple database stacks in order to implement our functionality), store all email attachments, event images, member images and deliver them through our CDN, and we also deliver thousands of emails every day between email blasts, automatic notifications, receipts, etc. Our pricing reflect the costs to store and deliver the large volume of data, files, images and emails, and that is why it scales with the number of accounts. We also have full-time development and support staff that provides full service and support to customers (even those on the free plans).

This plugin is an interface, not a shell of a full-featured premium plugin, so I think the confusion comes from us not using the same wording that is used for those types of plugins. It has been a little bit of a struggle to explain the distinction between the MemberFindMe plugin and the MemberFindMe service, so your feedback lets us know that we’ve not quite hit the nail on the head yet 🙂

Hi smsWp! That seems to be an issue with your local server, not with Constant Contact. It appears that the domain name lookup (where your server tries to resolve the domain name for the constant contact server) is taking too long. You will want to check your DNS server setup.

Hi smsWp! It may be an issue with your local server setup. To get the complete error message, edit the plugin and locate this line 55:

echo __(‘Could not connect to Constant Contact’);

Replace that with

echo $rsp->get_error_message();

That will give you the full error message from WordPress to help you debug this further…

If you are running a caching plugin, make sure to clear the cache.
