Mailchimp – No "successfully subscribed" message

Thank you, Devin for your reply.

I looked through the resource you provided, but I can’t make too much sense of it. I’m not a coder, so I’ve been searching all day for laymen explanations on how to exactly enclose in a “no-conflict wrapper” and looking for other solutions.

You mentioned that there are other solutions to this. I know how to access my php files and eit them. Is there something simple that I can do or do I need to hire a javascript person?

I pasted the code into the sidebar and “top portion” that Mailchimp recommended to post into header.

This is the code I put in header.php

<link href="http://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-081711.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<style type="text/css">

#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;  width:400px;}

/* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.

We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */

</style>

I’m not using a mailchimp plugin. I’m using a lightbox plugin that displays the form. I embedded the code below in a widget. I took the code from the mailchimp site that generates the code. I don’t notice any jquery/javascript code in the beginning like your example.

My apologies for not being clear and thank you for editing the code. It didn’t solve my issue. At my site: http://dailyvitamoves.com I’d like to have an image that when clicked on opens a lightbox that has my Mailchimp form and then shows “success” message after clicking “Subscribe.”

I’m using Mailchimp and trying to put their supplied form embed code into a lightbox. I’m using a lightbox plugin called Lightbox Plus Colorbox and they suggest to add code the following way where “Inline Content Goes Here” I placed the Mailchimp embed code:

The following example shows how to setup content for display in a lightbox. You will need to create a link to the content that contains a class that has the same value as the Link Class for the inline lightbox you are using.

Inline HTML Link Name

You will also need to set up a div element to contain you content. The div element that contains the content must contains have and id with a value of the Content ID for the inline light box you are using. Finally if you want the content to be hidden until the visitor clicks the link, wrap the content div with another div and set the value for style to display:none or assign a class that has display:none for a property

<div style=”display:none”>

<div id=”lbp-inline-href-1″ style=”padding: 10px;background: #fff”>

Inline Content Goes Here

</div>

</div>

Is there more info. that you need? I really appreciate your help!

Thank you very much!
