Plugin Name: MailChimp Comment Optin
Plugin Website: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/mailchimp-comment-optin/
Repository Link: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/mailchimp-comment-optin
Current Plugin Version: 1.2.1
Last Updated: 27. December 2014
Severity: Warning
Status New

This plugin has not been updated in over two years it seems. Too bad the WordPress plugin does not seem to be receiving any more updates… Activating it on PHP 7.1 gets me in all sorts of deprecated error nonsense. These errors can be resolved in no time.

( ! ) Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; MCAPI has a deprecated constructor in /srv/www/domain.com/current/web/app/plugins/mailchimp-comment-optin/lib/classes/MCAPI.class.php on line 3

A simple replacement of the function MCAPI with __construct will remedy this issue. A new update verifying the plugin is still OK and runs on the latest WordPress version would be great too.

Hi Thomas,

I’d like to request a small one-line code change in your plugin. Every time I update the plugin, I have to fix this manually:

Line 526 of mailchim-comment-optin.php:

Change:

echo ‘<input type=”checkbox” name=”tgm_mc_get_subscribed” id=”tgm-mc-get-subscribed” value=”subscribe” style=”width: auto;” ‘ . $checked . ‘ />’;

To:

echo ‘<input type=”checkbox” name=”tgm_mc_get_subscribed” id=”tgm_mc_get_subscribed” value=”subscribe” style=”width: auto;” ‘ . $checked . ‘ />’;

The only change is consistency with using underscores instead of dashes in the ID.

This change breaks my custom checkboxes.

Best,
Paul

I removed this plugin from my WordPress (deactivated and deleted it) but I can’t seem to be able to get rid of it! The checkbox is still there and I really want to take it out especially since I’m no longer using Mailchimp.

Heya,

On my site – https://www.bushwalkingblog.com.au – The optin check-box displays with no text beside it. It seems to work aside from this, but obviously my readers don’t really know why they would click it.

The other check-box is for Subscribe to Comments, but I have tried disabling it and this makes no difference.

Are you able to offer any suggestions?

Thanks
Neil

Is there a way to add people who subscribe via this plugin to a specific group within a MC list?

Thanks for this great plugin. The email address entered in the comment is being added to the MailChimp list just fine. But the name field is not being passed. Is that by design? Or might this be a problem with WordPress 3.4.1?

And if you do mean to pass the name value, how do you resolve the fact that the WordPress post comment form does not split the name into first and last, whereas Mail Chimp does? Splitting on the first blank character would be better than nothing, but might result in some improper splitting. Life isn’t perfect.

Thanks.

Hi Team

We are experiencing problems with the plugin conflicting with other Mailchimp Plugins.

Its hard for us to determine if this plugin is to blame for the conflict or the other way around.

Can you please provide any methods for trouble shooting the issue so that we can have it working in conjunction with Analytics360 Mailchimp.

Thank you.
Gerardo.

P.S.

Great plugin by the way.

I found a slight xhtml bug in in this plugin. The input and label in form code doesn’t validate because the id is wrong. ID should be “tgm_mc_get_subscribed” not “tgm-mc-get-subscribed.” Currently, an error is thrown saying the label is for an nonexistent object in the validator.

I have a WP site where the comment has gone through, the checkbox was checked, but nothing happens after that.

The reason is because the mailing list itself has more than one required field. It would be nice if the plugin checked for this or gave a warning.

I’ll make a new list with less required fields (just name and e-mail) and see if it goes through.
