May I ask how/why you concluded this is related to MC4WP (and not CF7)?
Thanks!
some investigation and then asked to mailchimp support direclty.
They replied that these are necessary and cannot be deleted. But then I noted the plugin was developed by other than Mailchimp direclty so I’m investigating further….
by the way…I don’t know what CF7 might be…no plugin named with C…..

CF7 normally refers to Contact Form 7, and my uneducated guess would be that cf7_mch refers to contact-form-7-mailchimp-extension, which isn’t ours.
Hope that helps with your research into this issue.
Kind regards
oh…thanks Lap for your clarification. Actually no Contact Form 7 plugin in installed on the website….
But I need to understand if it’s a waste of some previous installation. Many thanks for your help and sorry for addressing a wrong request

To make absolutely sure it’s not MC4WP, you could temporarily deactivate MC4WP and see if the cf7_mch autoload is still there.
MC4WP will still have all it’s settings etc. when you re-activate it, so it’s relatively harmless to deactivate the plugin for a few minutes during a test (just your subscriber form will not work for those few minutes of course)
Hi @pievedepitti,
These options are definitely not coming from our plugin. Instead, I am pretty sure they are from this plugin: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/contact-form-7-mailchimp-extension/ .
They are setting the options starting with “cf7_mch_” here, for example: https://github.com/wp-plugins/contact-form-7-mailchimp-extension/blob/master/lib/functions.php
That plugin has been closed due to an unresolved security issue, so I would not recommend to keep on using it. Either way, good luck and no worries for thinking this was us!
Best,
Danny
hi Dany thanks for your reply. This plugin is not active at the moment so probably it was in use in the past and this autoload is a waste that wasn’t cancelled when it was uninstalled.
but thanks for the security remark
