#### What is Mailchimp?

Mailchimp is a newsletter service that allows you to send out email campaigns to a list of email subscribers. It is free for lists up to 2000 subscribers, which is why it is the newsletter-service of choice for thousands of businesses.

This plugin allows you to tightly integrate your WordPress site with your Mailchimp account.

If you are not yet using Mailchimp, [creating an account is 100% free and only takes you about 30 seconds](http://mailchimp.com/monkey-rewards/?utm_source=freemium_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=monkey_rewards&aid=a2d08947dcd3683512ce174c5&afl=1).

== Installation ==

#### Installing the plugin
1. In your WordPress admin panel, go to *Plugins > New Plugin*, search for **Mailchimp for WordPress** and click "*Install now*"
1. Alternatively, download the plugin and upload the contents of `mailchimp-for-wp.zip` to your plugins directory, which usually is `/wp-content/plugins/`.
1. Activate the plugin
1. Set [your API key](https://admin.mailchimp.com/account/api) in the plugin settings.

#### Configuring Sign-Up Form(s)
1. Go to *Mailchimp for WP > Forms*
2. Select at least one list to subscribe people to.
3. *(Optional)* Add more fields to your form.
4. Embed a sign-up form in pages or posts using the `[mc4wp_form]` shortcode.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

#### More documentation
More detailed documentation can be found in the [Mailchimp for WordPress knowledge base](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/#utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=mailchimp-for-wp&utm_campaign=faq).

#### How to display a form in posts or pages?
Use the `[mc4wp_form]` shortcode.

#### How to display a form in widget areas like the sidebar or footer?
Go to **Appearance > Widgets** and use the **Mailchimp for WP Form** widget that comes with the plugin.

#### Where can I find my API key to connect to Mailchimp?
[You can find your API key here](http://kb.mailchimp.com/accounts/management/about-api-keys#Find-or-Generate-Your-API-Key)

#### How to add a sign-up checkbox to my Contact Form 7 form?
Use the following shortcode in your CF7 form to display a newsletter sign-up checkbox.

`
[mc4wp_checkbox "Subscribe to our newsletter?"]
`

#### The form shows a success message but subscribers are not added to my list(s)?
If the form shows a success message, there is no doubt that the sign-up request succeeded. Mailchimp could have a slight delay sending the confirmation email though, please just be patient and make sure to check your SPAM folder.

When you have double opt-in disabled, new subscribers will be seen as *imports* by Mailchimp. They will not show up in your daily digest emails or statistics. [We always recommend leaving double opt-in enabled](http://blog.mailchimp.com/double-opt-in-vs-single-opt-in-stats/).

#### How can I style the sign-up form?
You can use custom CSS to style the sign-up form if you do not like the themes that come with the plugin. The following selectors can be used to target the various form elements.

`
.mc4wp-form { ... } /* the form element */
.mc4wp-form p { ... } /* form paragraphs */
.mc4wp-form label { ... } /* labels */
.mc4wp-form input { ... } /* input fields */
.mc4wp-form input[type="checkbox"] { ... } /* checkboxes */
.mc4wp-form input[type="submit"] { ... } /* submit button */
.mc4wp-alert { ... } /* success & error messages */
.mc4wp-success { ... } /* success message */
.mc4wp-error { ... } /* error messages */
`

You can add your custom CSS to your theme stylesheet or (easier) by using a plugin like [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/#utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=mailchimp-for-wp&utm_campaign=after-css-link)

#### I'm getting an "HTTP Error" when trying to connect to Mailchimp

If you're getting an `HTTP Error` after entering your API key, please contact your webhost and ask them if they have PHP CURL installed and updated to the latest version (7.58.x). Make sure requests to `https://api.mailchimp.com/` are allowed as well.

#### How do I show a sign-up form in a pop-up?

We recommend the [Boxzilla pop-up plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/boxzilla/) for this. You can use the form shortcode in your pop-up box to show a sign-up form.

#### My question is not listed

Please head over to the [Mailchimp for WordPress knowledge base](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/#utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=mailchimp-for-wp&utm_campaign=faq) for more detailed documentation.
