No I was not renewing the mailchimp lists, and that definitely was a problem. Unfortunately, renewing the mailchimp lists did not solve the problem, so there’s still a problem in addition to that.

The field in Dashboard > MC4WP > Mailchimp > Merge Fields is now name=”test2″ tag=”MMERGE16″ type=”text”

The field in Dashboard > Events > Forms Editor > Booking Form Fields is label=”Test Import 2″ field id=”mc4wp-test2″ type=”text” (I’ve also tried field id=”mc4wp-MMERGE16″ Which field id is correct?)

The generated HTML is:
<p class=”input-group input-text input-field-mc4wp-test2″>
<label for=”mc4wp-test2″>Test Import 2</label>
<input type=”text” name=”mc4wp-test2″ id=”mc4wp-test2″ class=”input” value=””></p>

Neither specifying field id mc4wp-test2 nor mc4wp-MMERGE16 results in the data populating the field in mailchimp. Events Manager Integration is active and enabled.

Nope. The merge tag name doesn’t work either.

Follow-up: I notice you used MMERGE5 in your example. This is a merge tag, not a field name. Or rather, what I now notice mailchimp calls a field label. Maybe I should be trying to match on Mailchimp’s merge tag name, not Mailchimp’s field label? I’m going to give that a try.

I need some clarification about what you mean by “field names in your WordPress” because I believe that’s what I described in my initial query. Because I’m using the Events Manager integration, all of my field names are located in Event’s Manager’s booking form editor located at WordPress > Dashboard > Events > Forms Editor in the “Booking Form – General Information” section. Here’s where all of the input fields that appear on my booking form appear, including field ids “user_name” and “user_email”. user_name correctly gets split into first and last name and populates the corresponding fields in Mailchimp, as does user_email. This section is where I added a field id “MC4WP-testimport2”. But this field data does not populate the corresponding field named “testimport2″ in Mailchimp.

Just as a double-check, I looked at the source code of the generated form in my browser and found the input field. Here’s the HTML generated:

<input type=”text” name=”MC4WP-testimport2″ id=”MC4WP-testimport2″ class=”input” value=””>
