checkbox in registration doesn't show

Hi,

Are you using a plugin to customize your registration forms?

I am using GeoTheme- I don’t know if that customizes registration or not.

Hi there,

Did you figure it out already? When I go to your registration page, I’m seeing the checkbox: https://wekidaround.com/wp-login.php?action=register . ?? Hope so!

Ah. After browsing your site a bit more I see that you’re probably referring to this “registration form”.

That form is added by a third-party plugin (not sure which one).

It is possible to add the MailChimp sign-up checkbox to that form as well but it is a little technical. The FAQ contains instructions on how to add the checkbox to a third-party form.

Thank you! I appreciate your help. I will check out the FAQ

I added this to the form:
<label><input type=”checkbox” name=”mc4wp-try-subscribe” value=”1″ /> Subscribe to our newsletter?</label>
and it works fine and adds the registrant to the mailing list.

The backend settings are set to “pre-check the checkbox”

But, when I add this to the form instead:
<label><input type=”checkbox” name=”mc4wp-try-subscribe” value=”1″ checked/> Subscribe to our newsletter?</label>

the registrant is not added to my mailing list. Any thoughts on how to add a pre-checked checkbox to a third party plugin?

Thanks

When you’re manually adding the checkbox to a third-party form, the backend setting “pre-check the checkbox” will not do anything. You do have to have “other forms (manual)” checked though.

<label><input type="checkbox" name="mc4wp-try-subscribe" value="1" /> Subscribe to our newsletter?</label>

<label><input type="checkbox" name="mc4wp-try-subscribe" value="1" checked/> Subscribe to our newsletter?</label>

Either one of those codes should work just fine. Try to submit the form while being logged in as an administrator as that should give you a detailed error message if something with the sign-up request went wrong.

Hope that helps!
