Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else - I've looked and looked but can't find a relevant thread...

I have set up a Mailchimp account, built a form using WFB, followed all the instructions in the http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/how-to-configure-mailchimp/ article to the letter, as far as the bit where you have to check the "Publish to List" box next to the list name and click "Match Fields". When I do that I just get a box that says "Please select a list to match fields". Now the name of the list comes up fine, just as I entered it when I set it up in Mailchimp, so I must be connected to Mailchimp and I'm pretty sure that's all configured OK, but I get this message whether I check the box next to it or not.

Why can't Mailchimp/WFB see that I've selected the list?

When you wish to use a set of options in your form, such as those in a Radio Button element, you must also create the same set of options in your corresponding MailChimp list. And when we say "the same," we really mean it: completely identical in every way.

Thanks for getting back to me SirAGE.

Yes, I've been very careful to set everything up identically, but the thing is that I can't even get as far as the point where I match WFB up with Mailchimp. I can't select the list, or to be more accurate, I can select it but WFB doesn't seem to recognise that I've selected it.

Here's the message I get:

As I understand it I shouldn't encounter any error message about missmatches until I've been through the step after this which is when I match up the fields...

Check this out!

That's the article I've been following.

OK...

- Sign in to Mailchimp account: Check
- Create a list (list name, default from name, etc): Check
- Create sign up form in WFB, including the all important email address (& all identical to Mailchimp elements): Check
- Click Settings, then Mailing List and enter API Key, then click Go: Check
- Check the box under Publish to List: Check
- Select the list and click Match Fields: Oops I'm stuck on the select list screen...

I can't even get as far as the Uh Oh Something Went Wrong section.

Hm, attempting form building at the same time as cooking toad in the hole is probably not such a good idea. Maybe I'll come back to it later...

All you need to do is click on the list name. If you look, no list was selected. The check-box is not what you use to select it. Just click on it and it will work.

Oh for crying out LOUD, Scott! How gormless am I?? No gorm whatsoever... Mind you, I did tick the box, untick it, tick it again, untick it... Just never thought to click on the actual list name. Oh well, you live and learn

I was going to suggest the exact same thing as Scott, honest!

Lies.

I experienced the same thing and finally after a few tries realized I had to click directly onto the list name. I worked through getting the forms to match up, everything is working peachy king, however, when I did a test run and completed the form, everything worked fine except when I went to MailChimp the information was not there! I manually inputted it into the MailChimp list which is totally a waste of time and defeats the purpose of using MailChimp. Any ideas as to what's going on?
