¿Cómo se puede cambiar el texto del botón Enviar?

The submit button text can be customized to use any text you like. This is done via the shortcode. Please visit our How-to article How do I change the submit button text for step-by-step instructions.

¿Cómo añadir nuevos campos en mi formulario?

The fields that are assigned to a list are managed on the Mailchimp site. To add or remove fields you need to log in to your account and manage them there.

Please read the article Manage List and Sign Up Form Fields to learn how to add and edit the fields for your lists.

After you’ve added fields, they may not show up immediately in our plugin’s Form Builder. Our plugin pulls the information from your lists and stores it for a period of time before pulling it again. To get the new information immediately you will need to clear the Mailchimp API cache. Please read our article API Cache Settings for instructions on how to clear the Mailchimp API cache.

¿Cómo cambiar las etiquetas de campo?

The text next to or above each field of a form is called a “label” and you may want to change them. For instance by default Mailchimp uses “First” instead of “First Name” and you may want to change it to make more sense. In the form builder, you will find a little pencil icon next to each form label. Click that icon to edit the label and hit the check icon to save it. After you are done editing field labels you will need to hit the «Update Form» button to save all of your changes.

No estoy viendo mis listas en el menú desplegable cuando voy a hacer una nueva forma, ¿por qué?

Our plugin fetches your list information from your account and stores it on your site in a cache. If you make changes to your lists, our plugin will update your site with those changes within an hour. If you want it updated immediately (for instance if you add a new list), you can delete the cache. Please read our Knowledge Base Article for more info.

¿Hay una manera de mostrar el número de suscriptores de una lista?

Yes! You can use the shortcode, [yikes-mailchimp-subscriber-count] in the form description field to display the number of subscribers to that list.

To display the count for a specific list, you can use the form="#" or list="#" parameters. If using form="#" you should pass in a specific form ID, which will display the total number of subscribers associated with that form. If using list="#" you should pass in a list ID.

Quiero usar mis propios estilos. ¿Puedo quitar los estilos con este plugin?

Yes, we’ve included a constant you can use to prevent our styles from loading, YIKES_MAILCHIMP_EXCLUDE_STYLES. For usage, please see our Knowledge Base Article.

Algunos de los personajes en mi formulario se almacenan como??? en vez de en el formato correcto.

Usted querrá asegurarse de que la intercalación de base de datos está establecido correctamente. La mejor configuración de intercalación para todas las lenguas web es UTF8. Si necesita ayuda para cambiar la configuración de intercalación en la base de datos, consulte el siguiente artículo de Media Temple: MySQL por defecto conjunto de caracteres y colación.

Tengo problemas para actualizar a la versión 6, ¿qué hago?

We want our users to have as smooth a transition as possible so we created Guides to Updating. Please check them out if you are experiencing problems.

¿Puedo definir mi API key utilizando una constante PHP, dentro de wp-config.php?

Yes! Since version 6.1.2 we have enabled the ability to define a PHP constant inside of wp-config.php to be used throughout the plugin. The constant name you’ll want to use is YIKES_MC_API_KEY. Once you’ve defined your constant, you’ll want to head into the options page and save your settings for the changes to take hold.

Example:
define( ‘YIKES_MC_API_KEY’, ‘12345679-us2’ );
