Sure. On the one page, in a widgetized sidebar I am using the plugin, that I’ve activated via wp-admin > Settings > MailChimp Setup with a specific list.
Then in Appearance > Widgets, in that sidebar I am using the MailChimp Widget that shows under widgets. With the installed MailChimp plugin, that widget will show under Appearance > Widgets, but only applies to one list that is created in the MailChimp account https://mailchimp.com/ and selected under wp-admin > Settings > MailChimp Setup

On another page I have a different widgetized sidebar. Where I have simply just added a normal Text Widget to the other widgetized sidebar via Appearance > Widget. In that Text widget you can copy and paste the embed code that was created in MailChimp account for the second/other mailing list – as per the tutorial here: https://eepurl.com/Wh2gH

That did the trick for me. Knowing this, I almost feel that you don’t need the plugin and can just add different MailChimp form embeds for different lists in different Text widgets, as needed.

Thats brilliant. So easy! Exactly what I need!

Should have known MailChimp has an embed feature like this! ??

Thank you Dominic!

Whilst working on the website, where I want to use the MailChimp plugin… it suddenly/randomly came over me {blush} that… what if the reason is that I have Maintenance Mode activated on this website.

So I deactivated it – and the MailChimp plugin was able to connect!

For anyone else out there – that could also be the very simple reason!

Hello Gabe

Thank you for all the info!

Regarding my issue – I’ve tried different browsers and different connections and it is definitely not that.

I’ve checked, my server can connect to 50.97.194.22.
But the MailChimp plugin is still not connecting.

I’ve noticed in the thread that you mention to someone else:
‘Your host would probably want to whitelist the http and https port for these ip addresses( 50.23.108.137 and 50.97.194.22)’.
I have whitelisted 50.23.108.137 too – or I think so ($iptables -A INPUT -t filter -s 50.23.108.137 -j ACCEPT). When I try to connect my server to the latter, the connection time out. Could this be the issue? Do I need to be able to connect to both IPs for it work?

Thanks Gabe!

When Im on the popup login screen, I login with the necessary details.
At that bottom bit of the login pop it says ‘Waiting for sopresto.socialize-this.com’ and then it close the popup.
The MailChimp Setup page looks exactly the same as it did:
—
Log In
To start using the MailChimp plugin, we first need to connect your MailChimp account. Click login below to connect.
Connect to MailChimp [Connect]
—
Suppose that means to check the whitelist? Would that be of the ISP or webhost?

Hello

I also have the latest WordPress version on a site with the latest plugin version. In the past – different website – I needed an API key. I’ve noticed now it just gives a green bar to Connect. With a pop up window I just need to give the login and password.
When I do this though, it does not change the MailChimp Setup screen to give all the settings and neither the widget under Widgets.
Do you have any ideas why?

I have used this plugin before with older versions – its a cool plugin, hence trying to use it again.

Would be great if you could let me know what you think!

Yeah… the issue I picked up is that you can not remove any tag formatting around shortcode in the ACF wysiwyg editor. Then a shortcode won’t work.

@guddu1315 – thanks for your filter!!! It sure did the trick for me!

Very unlikely that anyone might be doing the same as I did, but I realised why the above mentioned was happening. Just incase…
I added a script to functions.php to do a character count when adding an excerpt. The custom post types that was without the support for an excerpt broke in the admin. By adding support for excerpt too in all the registered custom post types sorted the issue.

My issue was related to the page template I was using. For a custom home page template you can use frontpage.php or home.php.
As @lynnejo mentioned, I used home.php, added Template Name: Home to it and selected that as the home page under Settings.

Double check what is in the custom home page template and if it is using the genesis loop. That should tell you why some content are displaying or not.

Upgrading to Genesis 2.0 (or higher now), to render HTML5 tags, the key thing to do is to add the following to the child theme’s function.php
add_theme_support( 'html5' );

@amandaotaylor posted a handy link.

In my case it had to do with the custom homepage template in the child theme I was using. I realised that it had only homepage widgets and the genesis loop was taken out.

Have a look at the page template your homepage is using.

Brilliant thanks! I have done so.

If I think I know what you mean, try editing your archive.php file?
But that will also depend on your theme, what other template files you have in your theme, because WordPress has a template hierarchy of which template file to use to display certain content.
You can also read more about it here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Hierarchy

Can you explain a bit more of how you would like the posts to be formatted on the home page? Or do you only want specific posts to show on the home page?

To me it looks like you are listing a category on that page.
You can make a copy of your archive.php file in your WordPress theme folder.
Rename that file to category-{slug}.php. You need to replace the {slug} bit with the slug of that category. This you can find in the WordPress admin area under Posts > Categories – in the list under the Slug column.

Then you need to edit this .php file by finding and then removing something along the lines of: <?php single_cat_title(); ?>.

Thank you so much for your thorough step by step of what you’ve done.
This was driving me nuts. Working perfectly from just plugin install on a different site I have done and now suddenly one I am doing now, it didn’t work.
Your method worked for me! Brilliant!
