MailChimp signup code deletes when saving in text widget
-
I don’t want to use a popup for my mailchimp newsletter signup so I’m trying to paste their HTML code for the signup button on a text widget. Every time I hit ‘save’ some of the text gets deleted. This causes my page to only show the title of the form and nothing else. Help! :D Thank you in advance.

We have code restrictions. The pop-up JavaScript code you are using will not work. You have to use the mailchimp widget provided by WordPress.com. Here is the link to the guide

Wow that was fast, thanks so much.
What you said makes sense now. My only concern now is that if my visitors are anything like me they’ll just close the popup without even reading it, or have a popup blocker turned on. Is there any way to have a newsletter signup on my page instead of popup? I see the “email subscriptions” plugin but I’m guessing I can’t use MailChimp with that? -
There is no FTP access to wordpress.COM sites and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. Only those with wordpress.ORG sites can do that.
I hate pop-ups and when any subscription pop-up is in my face before I read a full post, let alone, have time to explore the blog to determine if the content is engaging enough to subscribe to the site, I click out.

There are additional subscription options.
re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions
All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here at WordPress.COM subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf. Also note that when subscribers provide an email address to get your posts that is all their email address can be used for.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.
You cannot use the Mailchimp popup embed code provided by Mailchimp, however, Staff have recently added the Mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
Additional information:
You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/Read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=following
