How to make the ready theme sign up form go to your Mail Chimp account

[Donna]

How to make the ready theme sign up form go to your Mail Chimp account? I saw code on the Mail Chimp site but it is for their sign up page not our Levels Ready Theme sign up form.

1.What code do your use?

2. Where do you put the code?

Thank you!

Hi Donna,

If you are not using the MailChimp module, you would have to create a form on the MailChimp site, select the option to copy the form to your site in HTML, and midify the form on your Levels site to have the same field codes, IDs, and hidden inputs as the MailChimp form.

[Donna]

I thought this would be a simple thing to do. Where do you put the code?

Thank you!

Hi Donna,

The code for the form in your ReadyTheme is located in the administration portal under ReadyTheme -> Content Sections -> newsletter-signup

[Donna]

This is where it goes to now:

<form method="post" action="https://www.treasuresofthesouthwest.com/scotmail332/scotmail.mvc?action=user&sub=subscribe2&group=1152 659964">
==========================
I found this in Mail Chimp:

<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="https://treasuresofthesouthwest.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=64e38f2fe741d0536873cdc38&amp;id=f4c4b36113 " method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>

Should I use this?

==================

This is the all of the code from Mail Chimp.

<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<link href="//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-10_7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }

</div> <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->
<div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;" aria-hidden="true"><input type="text" name="b_64e38f2fe741d0536873cdc38_f4c4b36113" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
<div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

<!--End mc_embed_signup-->

Thank you for your help!

Hi Donna,

You would not need all of the MailChimp HTML. If you can post your current form in its entirety, I can show you how to update it.

Hi Matt,

Here it is and thank you so much for your help.

Hi Matt,

I tried it and it is going to my old email program, Scot's Mailing List.

Thank you,
Donna

Hi Donna,

You might need to clear your cache or try your site in another browser. When I test it, I am directed to MailChimp.

My first question was going to be "did you make sure you used the form tag that Matt provided?" but then it dawned on me, you could be seeing cached content. Did you do a force-refresh of the page in your browser?

[Donna]

That was it, I needed to clear the cache. It works! Terrific!

Thank you so much,
Donna
