Subscription Form Bug

Hi @cognisant_2000,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

In the recent release (1.7.0), we updated the Subscribe Form block, which now lets you reorder form fields, edit form labels, and more. You can use the block to arrange the fields as needed.

If you’re still using the old widget or shortcode, you can fix the field order by adding the code snippet below to your theme’s functions.php file. This will ensure your changes aren’t overwritten during plugin updates. However, we still recommend switching to the block. Please let us know if you run into any difficulties setting it up.

add_filter( 'option_mc_merge_vars', function( $value ) {
	if ( empty( $value) || ! is_array( $value ) ) {
		return $value;
	}

	// Reorder the merge vars by display order.
	usort($value, function ($a, $b) {
		return $a['display_order'] <=> $b['display_order'];
	});
	return $value;
} );

We’ve also created a GitHub issue to address this within the plugin itself.

Thanks!

@cognisant_2000 great to hear things are working as expected, thanks for confirming! If you have a moment to leave a positive review, that would be greatly appreciated.

@cognisant_2000 the link I shared is for Mailchimp List Subscribe Form: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp/reviews/#new-post. Perhaps you’re thrown off by the fact it has a shorter slug of mailchimp only?
