Mailchimp for WordPress I dont think is actually made by Mailchimp?
Mailchimp Widget for WordPress is. They all seem to play on those words. Probably why it wasnt showing up.
I was trying this one in particular because it used a checkbox in the wp registration area and used that registration info to add the user to my mailchimp database. The Mailchimp one doesnt seem that flexable, it made the user fill it out twice which isnt cool.. but then, apparently this one wasnt either… there must be a way and I’ll find it.
Main thing is I know exactly what the problem is now and that its not a BBPress thing.
That is a huge relief.. 🙂
So it turns out it definately was the MailChimp plug in.. I disabled a few of the checkboxes.. it got better but was still buggy.. then I disabled it all together and ran it through a series of posts and tests, log ins as admin, log ins as a user.. seems to be working fine .. so far.
It sucks though because I was really hoping to use that Mailchimp plug in to build our mailing list.. now I may have to do it manually.
Im guessing its that nasty MailChimp Lite plugin.. I’ll be checking later tonight.
I had tested this when I originally installed and didnt have these problems.. or at least I think so. I only installed Mailchimp in there a few days ago.
I’ll disable it bit by bit in hopes its not totally useless.. *sigh*
Whenever that control strip starts disappearing over top in admin mode.. its always a conflict.. so I still have hope…. those forums are a major part of that site.
Can’t switch the theme at this point.. t’would be suicide.
