Mailing list not active

Checking out the source on your site, it looks like the hidden fields may not be right.

The source on your site is showing:

<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="media-mrkt”
input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://gill-media.com/newsletter/"
input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="media-mrkt_form"
input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1"
input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value=“name,from">

which is just one long tag. It should be something like:

<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="media-mrkt”>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://gill-media.com/newsletter/">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="media-mrkt_form">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value=“name,from">

Can you try that?

Thats weird! I copy pasted with the close tags.

Anyways I manually tried to add the close tags, hit save and they disappeared again?

Suggestions?

btw – thanks for the really quick reply!

Can you paste here what you’re using in the widget? I tried what I had above and it saved without issue.

There are some basic filters to only allow certain html tags in that space, but <input> elements are always allowed, so not sure quite yet what would be going on.

Cheers!

This is prior to pushing save on the widget

<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="90523651" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="media-mrkt”>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://gill-media.com/newsletter/">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="media-mrkt_form">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value=“name,email">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="0">

Then after SAVE this is what it converts to;

<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="90523651" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="media-mrkt”
input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://gill-media.com/newsletter/"
input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="media-mrkt_form"
input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1"
input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value=“name,email">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="0">

There were a couple of “smart quotes” in your test. Check out the one at the end of “media-mrkt” and at the beginning of “name,email”.

Smart quotes aren’t technically quotation marks (as seen by a server processing the input), so they’re throwing a wrench in the works.

Try this:

<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="90523651" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="media-mrkt">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="https://gill-media.com/newsletter/">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="media-mrkt_form">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="name,email">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="0">

Woohoo that worked!

Brandon you rock!!! Thanks for your support!
All the best, George.

I cant seem to get the form to function. When testing it goes to a mailing list not active Aweber notification.
