 * I am using a Mailchimp newsletter sign-up form on my website: [http://www.stempilot.com](http://www.stempilot.com)(
   bottom of page). When I submit an accurate/valid email address and all required
   fields, I get the following message: “Please provide a valid email address.Please
   fill in the required fields.” — instead, the success message should be displayed.
   I am also not receiving an email letting me know that someone has successfully
   signed up. Can you help? Thanks!

 * I think the problem is that the name of the email field is changed to name=”Join
   Our Mailing List”.
 * Please delete the field in the form editor and add it again so the correct name
   will be set for you.

   would make us quite happy. 🙂

 * WIll do.
 * Additionally, I have been receiving emails from WordPress alerting me to new 
   user registrations on the site — the emails include the following (I removed 
   the actual username/email here to protect privacy):
    New user registration on
   your site STEMPilot: Username: XXX Email: XXXX
 * Are these registrations coming from the MailChimp form? There is no field for‘
   Username’ in the MailChimp form, but I am not sure where else they would be generated
   from.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Will,
 * These emails are sent when new user sign-up on your website so it would not be
   our plugin that is generating those emails.

 * That is odd, as I have no other forms on the website that include a ‘Username’
   field, and the emails are inconsistent with the alerts.
 * Is there a way to set up an email notification when someone signs up via the 
   MailChimp form?

 * Hello,
 * Please do check your “Users” page in WordPress to avoid any security issue of
   users signing up on your site.
 * “Email Notification” is part of our premium plugin.
