If you are reading this post, you are probably having difficulty setting up your MailChimp sign-up form with your Genesis – eNews Extended plugin on WordPress. When I first started configuring mine, I encountered the following issues:
- First, when I hit the “go” or “submit” button, it redirects me to a separate MailChimp page in which I have to type my details and click “submit” for the second time. Such a hassle right? Good luck finding someone who would want to subscribe through that!
- Second, I could not figure out how to modify the fields which would enable me to ask for the subscriber’s first and/or last name.
- Third, I tried copying a certain part of my MailChimp embed code based on what I read from other bloggers and guess what?? Didn’t work. It only landed me on a 404 error page meaning it was worse off than when I started.
Are you experiencing one or two of these problems? Well then you are in luck because in this tutorial, I am offering simple step-by-step instructions on how to configure your MailChimp with your Genesis – eNews Extended plugin.
