What the author says it does

Allowing your visitors to subscribe to your newsletter should be easy. With this plugin, it finally is.

This plugins helps you grow your email list in Mailchimp. You can use it to create good looking and accessible sign-up forms or integrate with any other existing form on your WordPress site, like your contact, comment or checkout form.

Some (but not all) features

• Connect with your Mailchimp account in seconds.

• Sign-up forms which are good looking, user-friendly and mobile optimized. You have complete control over the form fields and can build your forms using native HTML.

• Seamless integration with the following plugins:

  • WordPress Comment Form
  • WordPress Registration Form
  • Contact Form 7
  • WooCommerce
  • Gravity Forms
  • Ninja Forms 3
  • WPForms
  • BuddyPress
  • MemberPress
  • Events Manager
  • Easy Digital Downloads
  • Give
  • UltimateMember
  • HTML Forms
  • AffiliateWP

• Is the plugin you want to integrate with not listed above? You can probably still use our custom integration feature. Alternatively, the plugin comes with a PHP API to programmatically add a new subscriber to Mailchimp.

• Mailchimp for WordPress Premium: Send your WooCommerce orders to Mailchimp so you can see exactly what each subscriber purchased and how much revenue your email campaigns are generating.

• A multitude of available add-on plugins and integrations:

Questions the author answers

Where can I find my Mailchimp API key?

You can find your Mailchimp API key here

How to display a form in posts or pages?

Use the [mc4wp_form] shortcode or the Gutenberg block.

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.

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?"]

Our knowledge base has more information on connecting Contact Form 7 and Mailchimp.

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 check again in a few minutes (sometimes hours) and don’t forget to check your junk folder too.

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"] { ...

  • Security: Escape dynamic content tags based on where they appear in the HTML. Values in URL attributes can no longer use a protocol like javascript:, and values in event handler attributes are removed.
  • Integrations: Prosopo Procaptcha now follows the alignment of the surrounding form. Thanks Chris Taylor!
  • Integrations: Fix Prosopo Procaptcha breaking other scripts on the page when the theme wraps the form in paragraph tags. Thanks Chris Taylor!

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
