Thank you for opening this issue @creativepassion.

I understand that you are having issues with front end integration.

Unfortunately, issues you described are known issues.
They are caused by the use of iframe. MailChimp campaigns are embed thanks to WordPress’s core embed functionality => which results in an embed iframe.

Height limitation is a consequence.
Same thing for the lack of responsiveness.

I take note of the idea of being able to strip out part of the email – such as “View this email in your browser” – however I am not sure if this is ok with MailChimp’s legal mentions/embed requirements.

Finally, I understand that plugin is working on your site – although it’s not 100% compliant with what you expected. Therefore, could you please a little bit why you though it was worth one (1) star only ?

All non-working things you mentionned are actually caused by WordPress embed Javascript code itself, not the plugin.

Thank your for your message @creativepassion.

However, you haven’t explained anything about your issue so it’s kind of hard to understand why you’ve put 1 star.

Please, use the support forum to ask for help.

Also, please note that this module is open source.
If you need urgent assistance (before september), it is totally possible for you to submit a patch.

I was about to say the exact same thing.

Thanks for your comment @sethaugustus.

Let us know how it went @pipedragon72

Thanks a lot for this comment @sethaugustus.
I am glad you managed to identify the issue and we finally make this works.

Your feedback is very helpful too.
Now I know some themes functionalities can interfere with this module.

Cheers!

Hi @natebald

I think your request is interesting and will also be useful for many other users.

I had already received messages about having the possibility to manually select which campaign should be imported in WordPress.

This will be a great feature.

I unfortunately do not have time to dedicate any time soon.

So we should not expect a new version before the end of this summer (in 3 months).

Please feel free to comment / to start a new thread if you find anything else interesting while using the plugin.

Cheers

Hi @paula.
First of, thanks a lot for using this plugin.
thank you for your feedback.

I am sorry you’re having issue during the install.

I will try to debug this but this will unfortunately not be possible before September (in 3 months).

Hopefully someone find a fix sooner and push a patch.

Please feel free to send any other interesting thing you found out while using (trying to use) this plugin.

Cheers

… not sure I understood then.

If you want the campaign ID you can find it from within WordPress – as shown on the previous screenshot. This ID comes from MailChimp payload during the import.

I do not know where it is possible to get it from within MailChimp.

I just can say that this is a unique identifier (UUID) for each campaign as explained in their documentation: https://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/campaigns/#read-get_campaigns

I guess you can ask the MailChimp support team if you need further info or read their documentation.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Don’t you see the campaign ID in the admin screen?

Hi @natebald

First of, thank you for your message.

1) Answer is no, not yet unfortunately. There is no automatic job to sync campaigns. This is a great idea for future improvements. I’ll note it for the plugin’s roadmap.

2) Answer is yes I guess. There is no automatic display of all your campaigns. You choose which campaigns you want to display by simply copy/pasting the embed code into a Post. See:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/olalaweb-mailchimp-campaign-manager/#how%20to%20embed%20a%20campaign%20in%20a%20post%3F

For instance, you create a new Post, copy paste one embed code for the campaign 12345 inside the body and save.

Only this campaign will be displayed on front end.

Does that help you?

Currenlty, the import process import all published campaigns one by one, starting from the oldest.

If you’re missing some campaigns, my guess is that something wrong had happened during the import process. That could be either as simple as a request timeout.

Could you please try to re-import everything, again?

Simply go to the Setting page and run IMPORT again.

The issue is a little bit more complex than expected.
There is actually a Javascript script from WordPress core itself which forces resize of the embed iframe automatically.

I am trying to find a fix or a workaround.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi everyone.
I have debug the situation thanks to @jcrowell’s example (thanks for that).
It seems that there is some JS code interfering with the iframe styles.

Iframe’s height is correctly if I disable JS.

I will try to make a fix and release a new version soon.

Thanks again for your patience.

I’ve double checked your example @kgoebel.
Strangely, the iframe height is kind of fixed to “1000px”.
See this screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/HhbKXDs.png

Even if we force it to be higher than that with inline CSS, it automatically gets back to 1000px.

I will investigate a bit more and let you know if I find a solution.

Hi everyone,
First of, sorry for the delay in answering.
I unfortunately not had time to maintain this module lately.

width/Height issues are tricky, but I got you: it’s critical.

Could you please provide me with some example URLs where you’re having issues with the embed campaigns? @imajared @mjmcfadyen @juiceycow and everyone else having this issue.

That will me a lot to scope and to reproduce the bugs.

You can of course send me your URLs by email if you don’t want it to be public on this forum.

Hi @hooperman13, thanks for your message.
I’m sorry about the difficulties to validate the import.
This is something I definitely have to work on.

Happy you finally got your campaigns imported.
