Hi Lapzor, Harish,

I am trying to add these fields through the Registration.
Basically, that’s what I’ve done:
1) adding extra fields to my registration:
Firstname: …name=”mc4wp-FNAME” id=”mc4wp-FNAME”…
Lastname: …name=”mc4wp-LNAME” id=”mc4wp-LNAME”…
postcode: …name=”mc4wp-PCODE” id=”mc4wp-PCODE”…
–> using hook “woocommerce_register_form_start”

2) integration of mailchimp with the “Registration Form Integration” from the plugin

3) in MailChimp itself, I have EMAIL, FNAME, LNAME, PCODE definded, and only EMAIL is set as required.

4) I clicked “Renewed Mailchimp Lists” in the plugin’s settings too.

The registration works fine and all the fields are saved in the database.
I get the email from MailChimp to opt in.
I click “Yes, subscribe me to the list” and land on the page “Update your preferences”. Strangely, only the email and first name have a value. Lastname and Postcode are there, but empty.
I don’t understand why Firstname has a value but not the 2 others…

I’ve tried defining the fields without prefix “mc4wp-” in the registration form. But no difference. Exactly the same result.
I’ve also tried to place the lastname field before the firstname field… same result, only value of firstname is sent to MailChimp…

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help on this.

regards,
Jerome

Hi Harish,

thanks for your reply and sorry I didn’t post yet my solution (due to all the work :), but yes, this is actually exactly how things got solved.
I used the available Registration Form Integration, went to Mailchimp and selected LNAME as not required.
I could still make use of the hook mentioned above to handle my other custom field.
So everything went well at the end.

I was though wondering: I’ve read in the documentation that I could send more fields to mailchimp using the prefix ‘mc4wp-‘ . I’ve tried using it on LNAME, defining the field name as ‘mc4wp-LNAME’, but it doesn’t seem to work… Is there a solution to that?

Thanks again
regards,
Jerome

Hi Guys,
I am experiencing the same issue. Where exactly did you change the permalink of the portfolio page to something like “projects”?
Thanks
