## FAQ

Go here and login: https://admin.mailchimp.com/account/api-key-popup … BAM!

To add the plugin to your theme (like the footer.php file), use the `do_shortcode`
method of WordPress. See the screenshots for details.

I have several times made attempts to get help in the support forum without any 
answers. I installed the plugin and the install went smooth, until I looking in 
the plugin directory where it stated that it was not activated. Well I did that 
already during install. Tried clicking the ‘activate’ in the plugins directory on
dash, no luck. I really want to try this plugin, but for some reason its just not
working. I have tried to contact then owner /producer, but no luck there either.
Not sure why this is happening. I give this plugin a 1 mainly because the support
is basically not there. Frustrating. Other plugins have responses hours after question
is asked.

Needs a built-in “no style” option. But other than that, it works great! Now that
mailchimp killed off their script that let you pull this directly, this is a nice
and easy substitute.

Why is it not styled with CSS? The plugin use a background PNG image with a huge(!)
font, seriously? No settings available, to adapt it to the own blog style – bad!(
