Mailchimp Custom Field/Merge Tags

I opened a support ticket with s2 member as I have the multi site pro version. It’s been a few days with no word back so I thought I’d try this support forum as well.

s2member isn’t sending my registration custom field to mailchimp. Or at least this is what my log files form s2member show.

I have my custom field as a radio button with UNIQUE ID of “MERGE9” (no quotes). Values are 1 and 2.

Within Mailchimp I have MERGE9 setup as a radio button as well with values 1 and 2.

I have my s2-hack.php as follows:

add_filter(‘ws_plugin__s2member_mailchimp_merge_array’, function ($custom_fields, $vars)
{
$args = &$vars[‘args’]; // stdClass object.
# print_r($args); // for a full list of all properties.

$custom_fields = array_merge($custom_fields, array(
‘ROLE’ => $args->role,
‘LEVEL’ => $args->level,
‘CCAPS’ => $args->ccaps,
‘LOGIN’ => $args->login,
‘USER_ID’ => $args->user_id,
‘MERGE9’ => $args->MERGE9,

// A Custom Registration/Profile Field in s2Member can be obtained like this.
// Note that my_custom_field_id should be replaced with the Unique ID that you configured for a field in s2Member.
// ‘MY_CUSTOM_FIELD’ => get_user_field(‘my_custom_field_id’, $args->user_id),
));
return $custom_fields;

// Note that custom fields (aka: merge tags) will NOT work unless & until they are created by
// a site owner working inside their MailChimp account. They must first add the custom fields
// so they can be filled by the s2Member filter seen here.

// See: <https://kb.mailchimp.com/merge-tags/using/getting-started-with-merge-tags&gt;
}, 10, 2);

I’m sure i’m missing something super simple. I’ve disabled all plugins, I’ve turned off caching on the site and still it’s a no go. Note that all other fields in the s2-hack.php work (e.g. role, user_id, etc.) I appreciate if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks for taking the time.
