Mailchimp example form not working

[kultsar]

Hi,

If I use the MailChimp example form(https://archived.seventhqueen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/mailchimp_form.txt), it is displayed, but not working. However, if I use the [mc4wp_form] shortcode from the MailChimp plugin, it works. The [mc4wp_form] shortcode is a bit ugly, so I would like to use the example form.

I noticed that the example form uses mc4wp_email instead of mc4wp_form. I tried to use both mc4wp_form and mc4wp_email in the example form, but it does not work with any of them. MailChimp plugin only offers mc4wp_form.

Hi,

I’ve made some changes and it looks ok now and it works.

If you want to make some changes at form markup ( html ) go to Mail Chimp plugin at forms

https://mlmjam.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mailchimp-for-wp-form-settings

You can edit as you wish the form aspect.

Best Regards

Hi Radu,

This is great, thank you, now I see the logic.

Two more questions:
– How do I change response text properties like font size and color? (“Thank you, your sign-up request was successful! Please check your e-mail inbox.”)
– I would like to decrease the size of the input box. I have already changed btn-lg to btn-sm, which resulted in a smaller subscribe button. Tried the same with class=”input-lg”, but “input-sm” and “input” did not work.

Hi,

By using the below css you will set color black to response from mailchimp (“Thank you, your sign-up request was successful! Please check your e-mail inbox.”)

COPY CODE

.mc4wp-form .mc4wp-alert {
color: #000;
font-size:1em;
}

Relace color and font size with your desired settings

For the input height use this css

COPY CODE

.mc4wp-form .form-inline input[type="email"] {
    height: 32px;
    display: inline-block;
}

You need to add this css snippets to Wp-admin -> Theme Options -> General Options -> quick css
