Installation

This extension installs as a plugin.  You can download the installation package as a zip file.  Then use the new plugin uploader or unzip the package and FTP transfer to your plugin’s folder.

Once the extension is installed, you can go to Plugins > Installed Plugins to activate.

You will also need an API Key from MailChimp as well as an Audience ID in order to connect the extension to a valid Mailchimp list.

If you are upgrading from any 1.x version, please read this post about upgrading for some important notes.

Using the Extension

The extension will add a Mailchimp tab to the WP-Members admin panel.

You will need your Mailchimp API key and an audience ID.  You’ll also need to indicate which checkbox field is being used to subscribe a user.  A dropdown list will list all checkbox fields in your registration form (except for the TOS field).  From this list, choose the checkbox that is intended for Mailchimp subscription opt-in.  If no checkbox fields exist, it will tell you to create one.  This can be done in the fields tab.
