How do I remove a Mailchimp signup form from my homepate?

are you using this plugin for it: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

If so, I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-wp so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

Hi!

Difficult to say without having a look at the theme control panel. Have you tried editing the page? Is it a widget perhaps?

The theme your site uses is sold here – maybe contact the developer if you can’t figure it out:

Worst case scenario, you can hide it with some CSS :

div#mc_embed_signup {
display: none;
}

Hi there

Thanks for such quick replies, guys! In answer to your questions …

t-p – yes, we’re using MailChimp for WordPress by ibericode, Version 4.2.1.
I’m wondering if I just disable this plug-in then that would remove the form?

Ross, I can’t see how to edit the home page – I click on Advocate at the top and none of the tabs (General settings to Gallery options) seem to be any help. I’m not sure how I find out which widgets are on the site.

Also, where would I put the CSS you’ve given me if I just wanted to hide it from people visiting the site?

Thanks a lot.

PS I have tried to contact the developer who helped us build the site nearly four years ago, but he unfortunately is not available to help.

if I just disable this plug-in then that would remove the form

If you don’t need this plugin, disable it.

If you need to keep it, as I suggested in my previous reply, try posting at the sub-forum of that plugin. There you may find better solution.

Hi t-p Thanks a lot. In case you’re interested in a bit of background, as Mailchimp don’t have any GDPR compliant embedded forms available (which is in itself somewhat unbelievable with three weeks to go) we have decided to rebuild our database from scratch via a new off-website form. So, now people will click on a link, go to a stand-alone Mailchimp form and re-register.
Bearing that in mind, it seems that it would be safe to disable the plugin, as the form wouldn’t be embedded in the website. Can you confirm?
I have also posted on that sub-forum now and will see what they say. Thanks for your help.

Hmmm.. just heard from Lap at the maichimp-for-wp forum you recommended and he says that the Mailchimp form on our home page isn’t anything to do with the plugin. Back to square one, therefore…

Hi Ross
I finally found out where to put the code – for anyone out there reading this later, I went to Appearance > Customise > Additional CCS, then wrote in the three lines of code you gave me earlier:
div#mc_embed_signup {
display: none;
}
… and hey presto, the form disappeared.
Thanks for the hack. If I have inadvertently disabled my website or crashed the internet or something, drop me a line. If not, thanks for your help!
