  Hello!
  I’m using the harmonic theme and under the widget slider on the front page, I’m trying to use a widget with custom html, using a code generated by mailchimp. However, the sign up form doesn’t show up. Should I make any alterations to the below code? :

  <!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
  <link href=”//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-10_7.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>

  Hi @marvavontheo, that form contains Javascript and we cannot use that here at WordPress.com for security reasons. We do have a MailChimp popup widget available for you to use, and you can add a Mailchimp signup form to a text widget in your sidebar by using Wufoo or Jotform. There is more information on our Mailchimp support page, and lnks to the Wufoo and Jotform support pages as well.

  I created an account on Jotform, which provided be a code to embed the sign up form, which is the following:

  <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://form.jotformeu.com/jsform/71192385432355″></script>

  However, this didn’t work either in the text widget. I read that this form can work only by creating a page or a post. What should I do?

  Hi there, You can follow this guide to embed a jotform form on your WordPressdotcom site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/jotform/

  In general, as @TSP mentioned, we cannot embed anything that contains javascript on our sites here. If you wish to learn more about that, have a look at: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Let us know if you have any other question about this.
