Create multiple signup forms

  • I am sure this is possible and I am just missing it.. I have a mailchimp account with multiple lists and not multiple groups in one list. I don’t want list members to see each other nor have to pick the “group” they want to belong to when they subscribe – hence the two lists.
    Is it possible to create signup forms for two lists from the same account? I would love to use this plugin on my site.

    Thanks

  • Hey rkgtech,

    Thanks for posting! I’m afraid that the plugin only allows to be connecting with one MailChimp list at a time, so you wouldn’t be able to use the plugin solely to create signup forms for 2 different lists.

    However, one option to consider would be to use the plugin for one list, then use an embed code for another. The embed code is provided inside of your MailChimp account for each of your lists that you create, so you should be able to grab the embed code for one of your lists, then paste then in as a widget onto any areas of your WordPress site. Keep in mind that you’ll need to use a version of the embed code with Javascript-disabled, as that can cause a conflict within the WordPress widget environment.

    Another option you may consider (if you haven’t already) is to use hidden fields. Of course, this may not apply in all situations, but with the embed codes for your lists, you can manipulate the HTML code to create hidden group fields, which you can then edit yourself to “check” group options silently in the background. Depending on what signup form they use, your users could then be subscribed to certain groups in a single list. This way, you could manage a single list that DID utilize groups, but effectively hide the process of your subscribers having to actually check the group boxes. Each page would have its own pre-checked group field. However, this does require some familiarity with HTML form elements, so it would require a bit of code changing.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions!

    Thanks much!

    I already considered the embed HTML.. but, unfortunately the default format of it (without modifying the CSS etc) is not very “good looking” .. plus on submit, it takes the subscriber to the mailchimp signup page .. I like the way this plugin works.. perfectly self contained..

    I think I am outta luck.. gotta find another plugin that will help me connect with my mailchimp lists ??

    I wish there was a shortcode for each plugin instance, so I could manually embed it into various widgets to be able to access multiple lists..

    Thanks!
