Trying to add subscription form from Mailchimp in a widget, but not all of the info is showing up

I have created an email blast using Mail Chimp, but now need to copy and paste the form info. into a widget so it shows up on my blog. I copied and pasted the form code

<!-- // MAILCHIMP SUBSCRIBE CODE \\ -->
<a href="http://eepurl.com/w32-L">Sign up for our free newsletter!</a>
<!-- \\ MAILCHIMP SUBSCRIBE CODE // -->

but the Submit button does not show up as it's supposed to.

I don't know if you have had other people ask you this question, or if there is a plug in for Mail Chimp that is compatible with the Blackbird Theme. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks. Valarie

P.S. Just wanted to let you know I've gotten a lot of compliments on my site. People have said it is clean-looking, easy to navigate, etc. Thanks for creating a great theme. Hoping to purchase more themes in the future for my clients when they need a website developed.

 

Hello can you please give me the link of the page on which you have inserted the mail chimp form code.

 

Hi, Krish,

I tried copying and pasting the code in the Widgets area (text to appear in the Primary Widget area). It shows up on my Blog page (see below), but is missing the submit button as well as preferences for how subscribers would like to receive the newsletter.

Can you help? Thanks! Valarie

 

OK, so I went to the page where the form is supposed to appear, but realized there is only a link which one has to click that will take them to the sign up form (it doesn't look like a hyperlink, so it was hard to tell). I actually would like to insert a signup form with the Submit button. I found this and copied and pasted into the Widget area (Prime Widget area):
<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<link href="http://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/slim-081711.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
/* 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>
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="http://blaescommunications.us2.list...u=faf6a4baa3a8ad58a48436bde&amp;id=4b7bfe3574" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
<label for="mce-EMAIL">Subscribe to our mailing list</label>
<input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="email address" required>
<div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
</form>
</div>
<!--End mc_embed_signup-->
The Submit button which is supposed to be there isn't.
Can you assist? Thank you. Valarie

 

Hello Valarie,
Paste below given code instead your code.

HTML:

<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="http://blaescommunications.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=faf6a4baa3a8ad58a48436bde&amp;id=4b7bfe3574" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
    <label for="mce-EMAIL">Subscribe to our mailing list</label><br />
    <input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="email address" required></p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button">
</form>
</div>

 

Thank you, Krish! Valarie
