Issue with Below the Header GP Hook

I found this info on the Mailchimp website. Could it be a Java/Jquery issue? I have a similar thing on this new page I created.

It doesn't give the success page, but at least it does subscribe to the list.

Weird - it seems to just refresh the page.

Hard for me to tell from the code - have you tried just adding the code directly from Mailchimp instead of using a plugin?

The second example I gave is using the embed code from Mailchimp. It still doesn't show the success screen, but at least it does generate the opt-in emails.

I'll try getting the Mailchimp code in the blue bar but it will take me days to figure out how to get it looking right! Ha ha!

It shouldn't anything theme related - it should be a setting in your MailChimp embed code that will redirect the user to a success page. You may want to contact them directly and see if they can point you in the right direction :)

I have a support ticket in for the MailChimp for WP plugin.

For the page where I tried the MailChimp embed code and it doesn't give the success message, I found this info at the MailChimp site:

Form shows no success or error messages
The Classic Form embed code uses jQuery to validate the form and display response messages like the Almost Finished message that appears when they click the Subscribe button.

This action is managed by JavaScript, which is particular about what other actions are being performed on the page. Sometimes, multiple scripts on a page can block one another from working correctly. If you don't see the Almost Finished message, check for JavaScript conflicts on the page.

How would I check for JavaScript conflicts?

I don't think there are any JS conflicts - you can use the "Inspect Element" tool in your browser (Chrome, Firefox) to check.

I took a look using Firebug and didn't find any errors.

Thanks for checking. I was able to change out the plug-in for MailChimp's embed code and get it almost as perfect as we had it before! Extra benefit is that is one less plug-in to keep running! Thanks for the help!

You're welcome! :)

Hi guys,

Looks like I finally found an error similar to mine. I am also trying to get two working mailchimp forms on my wordpress website. I am doing this without plugin's. If you take a look at me site you will see that there are two signup forms. The first one works exactly the way i want too (it shows a message after you have completed it that you need to check your e-mail) the second one however opens another tab with the standard mailchimp sign up thank you page.
The code is exactly the same for both forms. On another page of my website I also use the second form and it's code and there it does work the way I want to.
I'm interested to hear your opinions or possible solutions.

Hi there,

I'm not too sure what could be causing that - you might want to check with MailChimp support.

It could be some sort of conflict with having more than one form on the same page.
