    Hi again Bill,

    I have discovered that my Newsletter Bar does not work.

    When I enter a email address and click “Subscribe” I get the following error message:

    Error: FNAME must be provided – Please enter a value

    I am guessing this is because my Mailchimp is set-up to capture the first name as well as email address.

    I would like to get a person’s first name. Is there a way around this so I can utilize the Newsletter Bar in the homepage?

    Many Thanks

    Janice,

    There’s not a really easy way to add a first name field to the newsletter bar. The most straightforward option would be to take out the newsletter bar and use a MailChimp widget like this one that has built-in support for the name fields. You could also use Gravity Forms as they have a nice add-on for MailChimp that I use quite often myself.

    If I can help, let me know,
    Bill
