Unsubscribe Integration with MailChimp

Hello @gabeshosta,

Our SLS team came up with a fix which would re-subscribe the “Unsubscribed“ members. Here is the code for the same.

add_filter(
	'hustle_provider_mailchimp_update_member_request_args',
	function( $subscribe_data ){

		// We are already in <code>$can_subscribe</code> condition so email can be subscribed. 
		if ( isset( $subscribe_data[ 'status' ] ) && 'pending' === $subscribe_data[ 'status' ] ) {
			$subscribe_data[ 'status' ] = 'subscribed';
		}

		return $subscribe_data;
	}, 20
);

Now let help you understand how this would work. In the normal process, when a member is unsubscribed in MC and then the same email gets registered again, then the new member status is set to Pending.

So the member will get an email to confirm if he/she wants to re-subscribe to that list.

But with the filter above, we are setting the status to “Subscribed“ so no confirmation email is sent. So the above filter needs to be used with caution especially when double opt-in is active.

Also, we are working for the Hustle team on this to make a permanent fix for the same and once ready, the same would be added to the plugin update. As of now as I said earlier, I would not be able to give you an ETA about but rest assured we already have this being worked.

You can either add the above code to your site child theme function file or create a mu-plugin for the same. Here are the step by step instructions with the help of screenshots on how to create one:

Do let me know if that works for you.
