I am using Verde’s email subscription module for my site, configured for MailChimp.

I pulled the form designer’s form URL from MailChimp, and entered it into “Mailchimp url form” in your settings panel. From the MailChimp form URL, I also copied the value of the “U” field, and the “ID” field and entered them into the corresponding settings in Verde.

When I load my site, enter an email address, and click Verde’s “Send” button, it says “Submitting” right below the email field, but then does absolutely nothing. Nothing gets added to my list, and it never changes the status from “Submitting…”

I have NO other plugins activated, and I’m using the generic WP “Twenty Nineteen” theme. There’s literally nothing else to the site but this Verde landing page. No other content or plugins. No sources of conflict I can come up with.

Hi,

I have checked you code and the option urlForm is not correct. You have to use this one:

That makes no sense. In WP-Admin, when I go to Verde Plugin > Module Settings > Mailchimp data, I see the following values:

Mailchimp url form: http://eepurl.com/gf_LHn
Mailchimp u value: 0181c0400a4fd41b74c88c10a
Mailchimp id value: 140ffaf7c7

The URL value came straight out of MailChimp’s form designer. It’s a short URL, which if you enter directly into a browser, redirects you to:

https://dantrimble.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=0181c0400a4fd41b74c88c10a&id=140ffaf7c7

So I really don’t understand at all where you’re getting https://dantrimble.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe/post from. It does not appear in any of my Verde settings.

Please explain. If it’s easier, I can add you temporarily as an admin to my site.

Hi,

in the documentation there is a link to the tutorial to get the values. If you follow the steps, you have to use the link http://eepurl.com/gf_LHn to get the values. When you access to that link, you have to view the source code and check the values. Your own code is the next:
```
<form action="https://dantrimble.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe/post" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="u" value="0181c0400a4fd41b74c88c10a">
    <input type="hidden" name="id" value="140ffaf7c7">
```
This is the tutorial link: https://mailchimp.com/en/help/host-your-own-signup-forms/

Oh, I see what you mean. I had been following the tutorial, but I see where the mistake is now. My apologies for my confusion. Thanks for the help; it’s fully working now.
