    My mailchimp embedded form does not display properly through wordpress. The code looks like this:

    <!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
    <div id=”mc_embed_signup”>
    <form action=”//resoundbristol.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=b9170ae0ca0bdc9a386771fc2&id=5d80398e3c” method=”post” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” name=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” class=”validate” target=”_blank” novalidate>
    <h2>Subscribe to our mailing list</h2>
    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-EMAIL”>Email Address </label>
    <input type=”email” value=”” name=”EMAIL” class=”required email” id=”mce-EMAIL”>
    </div>
    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-FNAME”>First Name </label>
    <input type=”text” value=”” name=”FNAME” class=”” id=”mce-FNAME”>
    </div>
    <div class=”mc-field-group”>
    <label for=”mce-LNAME”>Last Name </label>
    <input type=”text” value=”” name=”LNAME” class=”” id=”mce-LNAME”>
    </div>
    <div id=”mce-responses” class=”clear”>
    <div class=”response” id=”mce-error-response” style=”display:none”></div>
    <div class=”response” id=”mce-success-response” style=”display:none”></div>
    </div> <!– real people should not fill this in and expect good things – do not remove this or risk form bot signups–>
    <div style=”position: absolute; left: -5000px;”><input type=”text” name=”b_b9170ae0ca0bdc9a386771fc2_5d80398e3c” tabindex=”-1″ value=””></div>
    <div class=”clear”><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”subscribe” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe” class=”button”></div>
    </form>
    </div>

    <!–End mc_embed_signup–>

    Do you have any advice?

    Many thanks,

    Matt.

    Hi there. You can’t embed that form as it contains code that is not allowed on WordPress.com.

    The best advice I can find on the forums is this workaround: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mail-chimp-signup-form-embed-code-doesnt-work?replies=5

    You can also link to your hosted Mailchimp form by using the signup form URL as described here: http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/share-your-signup-form
