What’s new in MailChimp Widget Form 1.1
Version 1.1 · May 2, 2023
Latest
What it does
Collecting email subscribers usually means pasting embed code from MailChimp and then fighting with styles that don't match your site. This plugin handles the connection through the MailChimp API, so new subscribers go straight into your MailChimp lists. Because the form submits with Ajax, visitors can sign up without the page reloading, which keeps them on the content they were reading.
The form is available as a Visual Composer widget, so it fits into the same drag and drop workflow you already use to build pages. You can set colors to match your brand with unlimited color options, and the layout is responsive and retina ready for phones, tablets and high resolution screens. If you need finer control, the widget can be adjusted with CSS, JS and HTML. Multi-language support makes it a fit for sites that serve readers in more than one language.
Best for
- Bloggers growing a MailChimp newsletter list
- Business sites built with Visual Composer
- Multilingual sites collecting email signups
