Newsmag: Newsletter plug-in > Showing Mailchimp required fields

Posted in: Newsmag

Hi – I am using the Newsletter plug-in in the Newsmag theme, with MailChimp. Using these instructions – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-newsletter-plugin/

In MailChimp, I specified three Required fields (*) – as in this screenshot – https://ibb.co/PGhbgQj

I copied the MailChimp code and then, using the tagDiv Composer, I pasted it into the Newsletter plug-in, as in this screenshot – https://ibb.co/wzcSQSh – and then saved. Below is the MailChimp code that I pasted in.

When viewing the resulting Web page, it only shows the ’email’ field – as shown – https://ibb.co/bWrTGNp

If someone enters their email address, a new page appears with the MailChimp form. At the top of this form, there an error message to complete the required fields, which is annoying. See https://ibb.co/GP881vs

It would be better if the user is offered all three required fields from the original Newsletter plugin when they start.

Is there a setting in the Newsletter plug-in that allows all three of these required fields (email, first name, last name) to show – and I have not found the instructions? Or is there a problem with the Mailchimp code? If I need to do some editing manually, what do I need to do?

Thank you!

Hi,

Please notice that the default Newsletter functionality is to hide those fields and display only the email and that’s why you cannot see them. My advice is to use your MailChimp code inside a simple column text and check the results. You will have to bring all of the required fields.

Thank you!
