Signup form

I embedded some code for a mailchimp form on a post on my wordpress blog.

I signed up to the list to test it, but the form signed me up to a different list.

It's the form in the main section on this page: Fish and the Blackbird | Wordfruit Copywriting Blog

I want the form to enable people to sign up to a list with the title 'Publications Updates'. Instead, it's signing people up to the list 'How to Write to Persuade and Sell', which is a list connected to a form in the sidebar of the site.

Mailchimp told me this: "it looks like (as you mentioned) you're embedding the correct code, but at the bottom of your website there is some script that is overriding what you're doing when you embed the form. Specifically, there is a section at the veeery bottom of your page's source code that has a reference to the "How to Write to Persuade and Sell" list. This screenshot shows the section I'm referring to: 2012-12-17_0921 - MailChimpTyler's library - What I'd suggest doing would be to go into your site's code and replacing the section in that screenshot with this ID: 827164e224.

My questions:

1. I can't find the file with the source code the mailchimp guy mentioned. What would likely be the name of the file?

2. Any idea how that code could've got there? I only added the 'How to Write to Persuade and Sell' signup form into the sidebar...

    I see there are 3 forms on that page, does a subscriber get added to the 'How to Write to Persuade and Sell' list for every form or does the other 2 forms add the subscriber to the correct list for the form.

      the easiest way to find it is to download the entire theme from your site.

      Then use something like notepad++ (on windows) or textmat or sublime text2 (on mac), to open the ENTIRE folder.

      Then you can use "find in project"

      and you will search for the code around that selection:
      "function mce_init_form()"

      That will come back with the exact file that has that code in it...
      The problem is that it will most likely be dynamically referenced, so you might have to "hard code" the url there.. But without being able to see it, I am jsut guessing..

      Hope that helps
