# MailChimp API settings

 * I am unable to connect my WordPress site to my MailChimp account. On generating
   the API key, pasting it into the General Settings:API Key box then clicking on
   Save Changes, WordPress throws me out of the General Settings Page and returns
   me to the Visit Site page.
    I have tried upgrading both WordPress and MailChimp
   for WordPress to the most recent versions (4.4.1 & 3.0.12 respectively) and also
   regenerating the API Key.

 * Apologies. I have just noticed that Ines van Essen responded to my earlier query
   2 months ago. I will respond to her request to email her directly.
