  Hey there.

  I’m trying to use the MailChimp Subscriber Popup widget. I’ve followed the instructions exactly as detailed here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp/

  This is the code that MailChimp gives me:
  !function(c,h,i,m,p){m=c.createElement(h),p=c.getElementsByTagName(h)[0],m.async=1,m.src=i,p.parentNode.insertBefore(m,p)}(document,”script”,”https://chimpstatic.com/mcjs-connected/js/users/ecd2042b6450493b97f0bc47c/76a39ee8e5686c5cb0a07213b.js”);

  However, after entering it into the widget and saving, it immediately changes to this:
  !function(c,h,i,m,p){m=c.createElement(h),p=c.getElementsByTagName(h)[0],m.async=1,m.src=i,p.parentNode.insertBefore(m,p)}(document,”script”,”https://chimpstatic.com/mcjs-connected/js/users/ecd2042b6450493b97f0bc47c/76a39ee8e5686c5cb0a07213b.js”);

  I am using wordpress.com, not wordpress.org. I am on a personal plan. I have no idea how to fix this. I’ve found fixes online that only work for wordpress.org or for business plans that are allowed to install third party plugins.

  Please help. Thank you.

  Edit:
  Seems the change in code has happened here too. In my above plea for help, the first instance of code had been changed from how I entered, per my problem. The code that MailChimp gives me has <script and /script> included, as well as id=”mcjs” but after entering it into the widget and saving, these bits of text get removed and the code turns into what you see in the post above.
