Fixed Issues with Orders of Fields
by Cognisant_2000·11 months ago·1 reply
We have been using this for years on a number of sites, but recently we came across a problem that the fields in Mailchimp set up and appearance on the website did not match. Our own fix was being overwritten by plug-in update, so we had to repeat the fix on every website every time we updated the plug-in
We reported this to the Author and they came back the next day with a solution.
Great support and very happy.

A company of MailChimp’s size can easily afford to maintain this WordPress plugin.
Either support the plugin or delete it.
Zero Functionality

Doesn’t display anything in a sidebar, no instructions, screenshots look like they’re from 2010 [as @ 22/07/2023].
