GetResponse opt-in form help

Hello all,

I set up blogs for clients and have had no problems in including the opt-in form code provided by Aweber.

However when it comes to GetResponse, when the user submits his name and email, he is being redirected to a missing page that has this text:
Error 404 - Not Found

The opt-in form page URL is BestGuitarLearningReviews.com Home

and below is the subscription form code:

Code:
<!-- GetResponse subscription form | start -->

<form action="http://www.getresponse.com/cgi-bin/add.cgi" method="post" id="GRSubscribeForm" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<fieldset>
<table>


<tr>
<td>
<label for="GRCategory2" style="font-size:14px;">Name</label>:
</td>
<td><input type="text" name="category2" size="12" id="GRCategory2" /></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><label for="GRCategory3" style="font-size:14px;">Email</label>:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="category3" size="12" id="GRCategory3" /></td>
</tr>

</table>
<input type="submit" value="Get More Info!" />

</fieldset>
<input type="hidden" name="category1" value="bestguitarlearningreviews" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="confirmation" value="http://www.bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="ref" value="000" />
<input type="hidden" name="getpostdata" value="get" />
</form>
<style>
<!--
/* form box */
#GRSubscribeForm fieldset {
margin-left:-2px;
border: 0;
}
        
/* comment about GetResponse */
#GRSubscribeForm p {
font-size: x-small;
}
        
/* table used to position form elements */
#GRSubscribeForm table {
border: 0;
}
        
-->
</style>
<!-- GetResponse subscription form | end -->
I have supplied the confirmation value as
Code:
http://www.bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/
which very much exists. When a name of 'SridharTesting' and email of 'srikat77@yahoo.com' is submitted, this is the URL that I am taken to:

Code:
http://www.bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/?email=srikat77@yahoo.com&name=SridharTesting&ip=122.167.89.53&site=submit
Can anyone help :confused:

    Try this:

    "http://www.bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/index.html"

    Or whatever the actual page is that the thank you data is stored on.

    It might be that GAR needs an actual page reference rather than a directory.

      Hmm Hold on..

      Looking here

      <input type="hidden" name="confirmation" value="http://www.bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/"/>

      You have a double / at the end of the URL.

      I doubt it's meant to be like that is it ?

      Try removing that extra "/"

        There's no extra "/" in there. The first "/" is part of the URL and the second one is part of the closing input element. Nothing wrong with it from what I see.

    Simon: The /thank-you is a WordPress generated Page, not static index.html.

    I use the most common 'Day and name' permalink structure.

    Code:
    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    'sridhar',

    The issue is being caused by how Wordpress deals with the query string
    that gets added to the end of your thank-you page...

    2 solutions for you...

    1. Easiest:

    If you don't do anything with the subscriber details that get sent back
    to your thank you page, then...

    1. login into your GR account

    2. select the auto in question

    3. go to its settings and choose the 'personalization' tab

    4. set 'Passing subscribers' details:' to the top option (off)

    Now your subs will reach this url...

    bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/

    instead of this url...

    bestguitarlearningreviews.com/thank-you/?email=this@that.com&name=joe&ip=10.10.10.1&site=s ubmit

    (which was causing you the 404)


    Option 2: Bit More Work:

    If you need the subscriber's details passed, then have wordpress
    create a static page for your 'thank you' page rather than a post.

    Best,
    Adam
