Form submitting when input selected!

    Hi, just added a form via a template and all looks great but as soon as I select an input field (either name or email) the form submits and redirects to 401.

    First I have told the form NOT to redirect and second how do I stop it from submitting until I hit the submit button?

    Heres the form code…

    <h2>Subscribe to our mailing list</h2>
<p>
	<label for="mc4wp_name">Name</label>
	<input id="mc4wp_name" name="NAME" type="text" placeholder="Your name">
</p>
<p>
	<label for="mc4wp_email">Email Address <span class="asterisk">*</span></label>
	<input type="email" id="mc4wp_email" name="EMAIL" required placeholder="Your email address" />
</p>

<p><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" /></p>

    Am using the latest plugin version 1.4.8

    Hello.

    That should not happen at all. Your form mark-up looks OK, no problems there. Do you have a live URL for me to take a look at?

    Maybe another (form) element on the page is not properly closed or some JavaScript is conflicting. I’d have to take a look at your website to find out what the issue is.

    Thanks.

    Hi Danny

    All fixed. I’m amending a clients original theme and it had a script which made the whole form clickable via a class. Removed the class and the form now works.

    BTW as I have set it to not redirect I dont see the confirmation message anywhere – should these display in the form?

    Also thanks for the quick reply!

    Hi there,

    Good! Glad you figured that part out.

    If you’re not using a redirect (which is default), the form should just show the default success or error messages set in MailChimp for WP > Forms.

    I take it they aren’t? Is your redirect field empty?

    I put a zero ‘0’ in the redirect field, and have also tried it empty. The messages are all the default ones so far – but still nothing in the form.

    Ok the messages are there just overflow was hidden.

    I would like to just enter a name field without using firstname or lastname is this an option?

    Good. Shouldn’t be an issue caused by my plugin indeed, glad you figured it out.

    Sure. If your list uses FNAME and LNAME to store the first- and lastname of a subscriber, just include a NAME field in your form.

    The plugin will automatically split this field into FNAME and LNAME.
