    I’m trying to link MailChimp to a signup form on my site using hidden merge fields and I want to grab the current page title.

    How can I achieve this? I’m using this code: <input type=”hidden” value=”<?php the_title(); ?>” name=”Location” id=”mce-LOCATION”>

    Is that correct? <php the_title(); ?> Or is there a different code I can try to capture the current page title?

    Sorry if this doesn’t fall within the parameters of support.

    Thank you!

    Hey finblue!

    Can you try change to as that can also work outside of loop but get the page title.

    Cheers!

    Hmm. It’s still not working, but perhaps the issue is elsewhere. Thank you for your help!!

    Hey!

    Basicly, we forgot to use echo, for the results.
    Also, you can try pass the page ID also

    global $post
echo get_the_title($post->ID);

    :Let me know if that works out better

    Thanks! Do I try each line individually? Like this:

    Option 1: <input type=”hidden” value=”<?php global $post; ?>” name=”Location” id=”mce-LOCATION”>

    Option 2: <input type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?>” name=”Location” id=”mce-LOCATION”>

    I don’t know anything about PHP I’m afraid.

    Hi,

    Can you post a screenshot of the form you have mentioned?

    Sure. I’m attaching the code below in private because I’m not sure if it contains sensitive data. The field I need to figure out is the value, here:

    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-LOCATION”>Signup Page </label>
    <input type=”text” value=”” name=”LOCATION” id=”mce-LOCATION”>
    </div>

    I’d like the value to automatically generate whatever the page title is that the sign-up form is on. I’m using MailChimp.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the late response, try to do the following steps:

    1. Install https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-code-widget/
    2. Go to Appearance > Widgets, create a new Widget Area, call it Mailchimp Form
    3. Use PHP Code Widget and place it under Mailchimp form and insert this code: https://pastebin.com/0jxTVHg4
    4. Edit the page you want the form to appear and use a Widget Area and choose Mailchimp Form

    The change made to the code you gave is:

    <input type="hidden" value="<?php the_title(); ?>" name="LOCATION" id="mce-LOCATION">

    I apologize again and thank you for your patience :)

    Best regards,
    Nikko
