 * Hi –
    I was speaking with mailchimp support they pointed out that this plugin
   is passing over data using an older version of their API which has been deprecated.
   She strongly recommended working with an integration that is on version 3.0),
   or using a MailChimp form. Are there any plans to update this plugin to use the
   current API version?
 * Thanks,
    Mado

 * Hi Mado,
 * The migration to v3 was done almost exactly a year ago.
 * You can see the entire history of the migration on this ticket:
    [https://github.com/yikesinc/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/issues/462](https://github.com/yikesinc/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/issues/462)
 * However, there is indeed a few things that are still on v2. If you scroll down
   to the second to last comment you’ll see that info.
 * > Affected features not supported by v3:
   >  Dashboard widget.
   >  – ChimpChatter: How many new subscribers, etc.
   >  Account details
   >  – Avatar – Company Name – Etc Meta Data
 * Leading up to v3 MailChimp said they would migrate all endpoints to v3. That 
   didn’t actually happen. We decided to keep these handful of features on v2 since
   MailChimp said they were stopping support, but not getting rid of these endpoints.
 * Every once in awhile I check in on these and see if they got migrated.
 * Let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thank you,
    -Tracy

 * So are you saying that the support person was misinterpreting what she saw? That
   the features of the plugin that I actually use are on v3?

 * The support person may have seen the calls to v2 and didn’t have time to dig 
   into the code and see exactly what was using v2 vs. v3.
 * All of the features that use v2 are supplementary information that some site 
   admins may find handy, but does not affect the major functions of the plugin 
   which is importing list data, building forms and subscribing site visitors to
   your lists with those forms.
 * If MailChimp dropped all support for v2 today it would not “break” major plugin
   functionality. You would lose a dashboard widget and a few other informational
   things.

 * Hi [@madeaux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madeaux/)
 * As of the newest version of the plugin released today, all functionality is on
   version 3.0 of the MailChimp API and 2.0 is no longer supported at all.
 * You can read all the details on Github:

 * Thank you!
