I have successfully connected my wordpress site to Mailchimp via the MC4WP plugin with an API key. I can see my custom fields and other mailchimp account info.
I created a form using MC4WP and deployed it to a test page. It looks fine but won’t submit. It generates the following error. I’ve tried multiple times, recreated from scratch, commented out all fields but the name and email, and I always get the same error. Any ideas on why this doesn’t work.
Note: I’m able to successfully submit contacts using an embedded mailchimp form at . But I like the form-building experience better in MC4WP and it looks much better on mobile with no mods vs the mailchimp-created form.
