Hi Christina,
Can you share you site link please. Try to delete and upload plugin again.
regards,
Najeeb.
I am waiting for next update. I hope it will be there soon.
Yes will be up soon with more features. Thanks.
This plugin wont work on my site, I love it and the flexibility you have created for customising the look, but it just won’t work.
Hi Leviwhalen,
Thanks.
Will you please share you site URL with me?
Najeeb.
Hi,
I have fixed the bug, now please get the latest files and upload it by removing the old one. Also new BGs can be selected from admin.
Enjoy.
Tried to install it and receive some error message about headers!
Hi Visa,
Can your share your site url with me please?
regards,
Najeeb
I had the same problem. My site isn’t live yet, but it’s a wordpress blog using the Thesis theme. I tried to install this plugin and got the error message, something like, “this plugin does not contain an appropriate header.”
Hi All,
Thanks for your interest in my Plugin. Now I have fixed the issue (bad
header error). You can upgrade your plugin or would be GREAT if you could
delete the existing directroy of my plugin and then re-install.
Also must see my new plugin here:

Najeeb, I just updated your plugin and now it works great. Fantastic job! This is a very nice plugin.
Yep, Thanks.
Thanks
Very nice plugin, thanks. Is there a way to change e-mail confirmation page?
Hi Haki,
Thanks, I am working on this plugin to put more BGs and i will also put option to control email confirmation message for YOU 😉
I learned a lot from this post, great help for me, thank you!
Hi Najeeb:
Upon success, I will definitely donate, but in the mean time is it possible to check this error out? I have inputted the API key and installed the widget (see the footer of re-nuble.com) but when you actually press the Go (submit) button nothing happends.
Please advise 🙂
Hi,
Thanks for using this plugin. As I see it is some javascript problem due to theme. Please send me your wp-admin info at ceo@najeebmedia.com so I can fix this.
Cheers.
Najeeb
Hi,
Very useful plugin, thank you !
Unfortunately i’m having problems getting it to work, if you have a look on the footer of the site I sent you’ll see it there . When I hit the go button nothing happens …. Any ideas what’s wrong ?
Thanks !
There is problem with theme, some javascript script is conflicting with this plugin.
I see, thanks for the quick response !.
Are you able to tell what the script is called or anything ?
Cheers,
Stu
it is jquery. i think it is conflicting with others. let me know your login info in my email ceo@najeebmedia.com so I can fix 🙂

I love your plugin! But the colors don´t match my page, so I thought I´d just change the garaphics (the .png files and the squared mail-subscribe button) by hand and replace the files on my server. But it doesn´t work! I checked the files, and they look allright, but still the old color (which is way too heavy for me) is back! Am I being stupid here? What did I miss?
Also, I would like to translate the text in the graphisc to german. How would that work?
Thanks for your effort!
Thanks for your love, well this is developed for all. But some people need some changes as per their design. In this case we make custom plugin for them. Please let us know what changes you need so we can make develop it for you.
regards,
Najeeb Ahmad.
Nice looking widget. However, I suspect I have a similar issue to the other guys. I press ‘Go’ and nothing happens. Please help.
There is some might plugins conflicting with this. please let me know your site url.
please let me know your site URL so I can see and fix it.
Hello,
Very successful plugin. I implemented it on my new site (www.salesinjapan.com) but the “go” button doesn’t work. (I did insert the mailchimp API)
I trust this is a simple issue, probably an error on my part. Can you please advise?
Thanks,
Asaf
Ok i have fixed it on your site.
I love your design, but I am having the same problem as the others — When I click “go” nothing happens. My website is http://www.crystalofdestiny.com . Can you help me?
Najeeb is very responsive to customer service inquiries. I had a problem with my plugin and he started fixing it the very next day! Thanks, Najeeb!
How can i get rid of the (We Respect Your Privacy) text?
Please let me know your site URL.
I have installed the plugin on my website, but when I try to sign up a test email, it throws up an error table. Could you take a look at that? My URL is included in the website field. You can see the error message here, http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls19fkC7Jw1qzxx3to1_500.png
I am only requiring the first name for sign up. Is there any way to just show first name and not last name for your sign up form?
The form looks nice. Thank you!
Thanks for using my plugin, Well let me know your site info to fix it on your site. send me email at ceo@najeebmedia.com
How do I make, just, the first name required?
Look my website is throwing huge compatablity errors with your plugin. It is running almost same theme as your site so what is wrong? I have it disabled for now because two other critical parts were being fubar-ed! I am not gonna give my installation info for you to log in. Not my rule company security breach rule. Anyway you could let me know. It prevents loading of the Nivo-Slider and Prevents the Use of a Roundabout I have on the site. Thanks

I have fixed it on your site now.
Hello,
Very good plugin, is it possible to translate it in french ? Or could you tell me how to do it ?
I really like your plugin and its design.
Thanks
Reda
Thanks, this plugin can translated into french, please send me your detail in my email ceo@najeebmedia.com
That is really amazing notion guy.iam actually proud of you .
Your widget works great. I like it. I would like some changes however:
1. Can I remove the Powerd By
2. Optional Title and if no Title chosen adjust the space.
3. Submit button on same line as form field.
4. Custom image for submit button.
5. CSS styling of the widget.
Any chance for these changes?
plz upgrade to version 1.5 for link removal.
please upgrade to latest version, link will be removed.
That’s incredible!
I have your plugin set up on my site and have two issues:
1) The settings in the drop down menus for the widget don’t seem to stay when I go back to edit the widget – like the background colour etc.
2) Even though it tells me that the person is subscribed, they don’t appear in my Mailchimp list.
I have checked the plugin at your site, there is no problem in my plugin plz check your other plugins. I think this is due to conflict with other plugin.
Will do – thank you.
Do you happen to know which plugins your plugin is not compatible with?
This plugin is fantastic!!! Thank you! Is there any way way of adding a different colour?? if so how??
Thanks Lauren,
right now you cannot add more color other then library images. I will add more in future. I will appreciate if you could rate this plugin here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nmedia-mailchimp-widget/
Cheers.
How do i remove powered by Nmedia from showing up on my site. i like the plugin but you should put an option to deactivate powered by Nmedia link-back.
Thanks for your help
Hi, Please upgrade to new version my of plugin, it is removed.
I can’t seem to get the update. It is not yet updated on wordpress Plugin repo. Is there any other way to get the update you talked about apart from the wordpress plugin repo?
Thank you for your help.
Please follow these steps:
Deactivate plugin
Delete plugin
Download plugin again.
That’s it, it will work for sure.
The help file doesnt work, I need to know why my lists arent showing up. And the header error.
Hi,
make sure you have placed correct mailchimp API key.
Great widget one question. Is it possible to have the user be redirected to a thank you page after they submit the form rather than the pop up message?
Well right now, it is not. you can see the alert only.
Hi, Thanks a lot for your plugin. It works very smooth but we had a situation with WPML and it didn’t work for 2 lists.
If you have WPML and are running WP on 2 domains (one for each language), the AJAX call returns a HTTP 200, but the subscription didn’t succeed, there’s also no error returned.
It probably has to do with the validation process somewhere. I didn’t look into that further. Easy fix is to send the AJAX call to the current HTTP_HOST, and not the default returned from template location, which always has the primary (other) domain in the form action URL.
Cheers, Coati
Hi Coati,
thanks for your interest in mailchimp plugin, I will make these changes in next version soon.
regards,
Najeeb
Hi Coati,
I just tested my plugin for multi site framework, it is working PERFECTLY.
Hi Najeeb, thanks for adapting the changes.
It would work out of the box if the plugins_url() wouldn’t have a fixed domain name.
Did it work with your install? Whatever the case, it’s easy to fix.
Cheers 🙂
plugins_url() pull the active domain url, it is not hard coded.
I have a dropdown menu for the subscribers to choose a location from, but this area does not display. What could be the problem? It only display the email, and first name to fill in.
This plugin only allow for email and fullname to make it simple for users.
Hi Najeeb,
I’ve installed your plugin but get the following error when I try to input my email address:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class MCAPI in /hermes/web01/b2479/moo.bigage/woiisummit/wp-content/plugins/nmedia-mailchimp-widget/api_mailchimp/MCAPI.class.php on line 3
Help!
Thank you,
Michelle
Hi Michelle,
make sure you don’t have other mailchimp plugin activated with my plugin.
regards,
Najeeb
Thanks! That did it – I had a second plugin that allowed people to sign up right when commenting on a blog… which would have been a nice feature, but your plugin is so much nicer than most, that I really want to use it, so it’s worth having to go without on the blog.
Thanks for a well-designed and beautiful solution!
Thanks buddy for loving my plugin
I have installed the plugin, and put in the Mail Chimp API key, but I can’t find the shortcode format to say where I want the form to appear.
I’d be grateful for help!
Hi James,
You must see the mailchimp widget under Admin -> Appearance -> Widget section. It doesn’t use any shortcode yet. In next version we will put option for shortcode too.
regards,
Najeeb
Ah! I hadn’t noticed that … which means I can only put the sign-up form in a sidebar. But I want to put it in a page (I actually want it on a page that doesn’t have a side bar.
I guess I’ll have to wait.
Thanks,
James
Hi James,
Yes I am working on shortcode, so you can use this form in any where in pages/posts soon.
Cheers.
Hi:
This seems very promising, well worth a donation. However, when I enter an email and subscribe, nothing is showing up in my mailchimp list. No doubt I am overlooking obvious. CVan you point me to it?
Thanks in advance
Chris
Hi Chris,
could you please share your site URL?
CHeeRs!
