# Error: Please enter a valid Mailchimp API key

 * Hi, I recently made some database changes and had to reinstall hustle.
 * When I add a Mailchimp API it says “Please enter a valid Mailchimp API key” but
   I have generated a new one and am correctly entering it.
 * Under ‘Integrations’ there is a mailchimp app that I can’t delete… or even successfully
   update the API – I have a feeling this is why it is not working.
 * Please help!

 * Hi [@directorslibrary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/directorslibrary/),
 * I’m not sure which changes you have made in the DB but this is most likely what
   is causing the issue with Hustle getting the correct data.
 * You can go to your Pop-ups, Slide-ins, etc. pages and export what you have from
   there.
    Then navigate to Hustle > Settings > Data panel and reset the plugin 
   settings. You now import back any Pop-ups or Slide-ins that you exported and 
   see if the integrations are working again.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag

 * Hey!
 * It’s really weird, it’s still not working.
 * I’ve tried deleting all Hustle data and reinstalling too.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hello [@directorslibrary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/directorslibrary/)
 * I trust you’re doing well!
 * Something must blocking the API call that made from your site to the Mailchimp.
   Please run a test for a conflict.
 * Before running this test, please have a full backup of your site, so if something
   will go wrong you can always restore it.
 * Deactivate all plugins, leave only Hustle active and try to connect to MailChimp
   Api.
 * If all is well, then a plugin on your site is interfering. Disconnected the integration
   again to fin teh plugin that is causing this. Start activating one plugin at 
   a time and repeat the integration with MaislChimpo till the error will be back.
 * Let us know how it went!
 * Cheers,
