    Site: https://alturefestival.associazioneilcapannone.org (Newsletter signup is in the footer)
    Messages, errors, etc. : “Please fill in the required fields.” I just need email to signup to the list
    Which version of MailChimp for WordPress you’re on: 4.0.7
    WordPress & PHP version: WP 4.6.1 Php 7

    Hello,

    I keep getting “Please fill in the required fields.” error when i try the newsletter signup form.

    The list used to require name and surname required to signup, i got rid of that in the Mailchimp.com account list setting, leaving only “email” as the required field to signup. Then waited some hours (24+) for the change to propagate.

    I don’t get any error in the Mailchimp for WP>Forms tab. Nothing is outlined in red no more.

    My form looks like this.

    <p >
    <input type=”email” name=”EMAIL” placeholder=”indirizzo email” style=”font-family:’tox_typewriterregular’;” required />
    </p>

    <p style=”font-family: ‘tox_typewriterregular’;”>
    <input type=”submit” style=”font-family:’tox_typewriterregular’;” value=”Iscriviti” />
    </p>

    Any idea about what is causing the issue?

    Hello @danceee,

    Thanks for the update. I am not sure how the “p” tag affected it. Also, when you make changes to your list, to get them in your website you can click on the “Renew MailChimp Lists” button available on the “MailChimp for WP” menu in your WordPress admin.

    Hi @hchouhan,

    I thought list was updated because I imported (on mailchimp) a few subscribers email addresses and the total subscriber count was updated automatically in the plugin panel. The import was made after the requirement field changes.

    Form now looks like:

    <input type=”email” name=”EMAIL” placeholder=”indirizzo email” style=”font-family:’tox_typewriterregular’;” required />
    <input class=”bottonesubmit” type=”submit” style=”font-family:’tox_typewriterregular’; margin-top: 15px;” value=”Iscriviti” />

    As soon as i got rid of <p> tags it immediately worked. I can provide more info if you want to dig in it.
