#### What is Mailchimp?
Mailchimp is a newsletter service that allows you to send out email campaigns to a list of email subscribers. It is free for lists with up to 500 email subscribers, which is why it is the newsletter-service of choice for thousands of small businesses across the globe.

1. Alternatively, download the plugin and upload the contents of `mailchimp-for-wp.zip` to your plugins directory, which usually is `/wp-content/plugins/`.
1. Activate the plugin
1. Set [your API key](https://admin.mailchimp.com/account/api) in the plugin settings.
#### Configuring Sign-Up Form(s)

#### Need help?
Please take a look at the [MC4WP knowledge base](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/#utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=mailchimp-for-wp&utm_campaign=installation-instructions-link) first.
If you can't find an answer there, please look through the [plugin support forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-wp) or start your own topic.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
#### Where can I find my Mailchimp API key?
You can [find your API key here](http://kb.mailchimp.com/accounts/management/about-api-keys#Find-or-Generate-Your-API-Key)
#### How to display a form in posts or pages?
Use the `[mc4wp_form]` shortcode or the Gutenberg block.
#### How to display a form in widget areas like the sidebar or footer?
Go to **Appearance > Widgets** and use the **Mailchimp for WP Form** widget that comes with the plugin.
#### How to add a sign-up checkbox to my Contact Form 7 form?
Use the following shortcode in your CF7 form to display a newsletter sign-up checkbox.
`
[mc4wp_checkbox "Subscribe to our newsletter?"]
`
Our knowledge base has more information on [connecting Contact Form 7 and Mailchimp](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/connecting-contact-form-7-and-mailchimp/).
#### The form shows a success message but subscribers are not added to my list(s)?
If the form shows a success message, there is no doubt that the sign-up request succeeded. Mailchimp could have a slight delay sending the confirmation email though. Please check again in a few minutes (sometimes hours) and don't forget to check your junk folder too.
When you have double opt-in disabled, new subscribers will be seen as *imports* by Mailchimp. They will not show up in your daily digest emails or statistics. [We always recommend leaving double opt-in enabled](http://blog.mailchimp.com/double-opt-in-vs-single-opt-in-stats/).
#### How can I style the sign-up form?
You can use custom CSS to style the sign-up form if you do not like the themes that come with the plugin. The following selectors can be used to target the various form elements.
`
.mc4wp-form { ... } /* the form element */
.mc4wp-form p { ... } /* form paragraphs */
.mc4wp-form label { ... } /* labels */
.mc4wp-form input { ... } /* input fields */
.mc4wp-form input[type="checkbox"] { ... } /* checkboxes */
.mc4wp-form input[type="submit"] { ... } /* submit button */
.mc4wp-alert { ... } /* success & error messages */
.mc4wp-success { ... } /* success message */
.mc4wp-error { ... } /* error messages */
`
You can add your custom CSS to your theme stylesheet or (easier) by using a plugin like [Simple Custom CSS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/#utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=mailchimp-for-wp&utm_campaign=after-css-link)
#### How do I show a sign-up form in a pop-up?
We recommend the [Boxzilla pop-up plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/boxzilla/) for this. You can use the form shortcode in your pop-up box to show a sign-up form.
### How do I subscribe from my WooCommerce checkout form?
You can use our WooCommerce integration for that. [How to subscribe to Mailchimp from the WooCommerce checkout form](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/connect-woocommerce-store-mailchimp/).
### How to connect my WooCommerce store with Mailchimp?
You can find instructions for [connecting your WooCommerce store with Mailchimp](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/connect-woocommerce-store-mailchimp/) on our website.
#### I'm getting an "HTTP Error" when trying to connect to Mailchimp.
the "HTTP Error" type is usually because of a firewall configuration issue or outdated software on your web server.
Please contact your webhost and ask them to check the following:
- Whether remote HTTP requests to `https://api.mailchimp.com` are allowed.
- Whether cURL and the PHP-cURL extension are installed and updated to a recent version.
#### My question is not listed here.
Please search through our [knowledge base](https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/#utm_source=wp-plugin-repo&utm_medium=mailchimp-for-wp&utm_campaign=faq).
