 * Hi there.
 * I love your plug-in. Unfortunately, it stopped working after I changed the Mailchimp
   API key in the settings. I can create new forms without a problem. But the old
   forms don’t allow me to change the settings nor can people subscribe.
 * Any advice?

 * Hi [@heartandmagic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heartandmagic/),
 * Unfortunately this is a limitation of our plugin: all forms are attached to specific
   lists which are attached to a unique API key.
 * If your API key changes, then all of your previous forms will be unusable. Even
   if those forms have the same fields as your new forms.
 * Sorry about that! We tried to add a warning to the API key settings page saying
   something like “If you change your API key, all of your current forms will not
   work” in order to mitigate this.
 * Hope it’s not too much work to delete your old forms and re-create them under
   your new API key.
 * All the best,
    Kevin.
