Hi @lukelukeluke, as you’re probably aware, no two WordPress installs are the same and various factors can contribute to a sync failing. Basic troubleshooting starts with verifying the following information:
- What are the versions of PHP and the plugin? Are you up to date?
- Are there a large number of plugins being used? If so, it may be necessary to increase the memory limit on the hosting server (1GB for example) to accommodate the initial sync.
- You may need to activate
WP CRON or consider using the CLI option.
- The server is using a cache such as Redis, Memcached, etc. You may need to exclude a route path for the plugin.
- If you are using a shared hosting environment, consider switching over to a server stack with a dedicated IP address.
- Your server may be getting blocked by Akamai, Mailchimp’s API service.
Please reply back and let us know if any of those checks allow the sync to go through.
