I have the constant contact form plugin set up, with the proper login name and password. I inserted the php into my header. I submited a test email. It told me the submission was successful. But when I look within constant contact I do not see any new contact.

Great plug-in, simple and clear… the widget works fine but it doesn’t work in a page, any suggestion?

I need to traslate few sentences (loanding…, Subscribed successfully) how can I do it?

How can I send an automatic e-mail confirmation to the people who subcribe?

I’d just like to add my support for John’s request for the ability to add fields for Name, Address, other information that Constant Contact allows for.

Just set this widget up on my wordpress 2.8.5 site and it works perfectly. I was a little thrown by the “Constant Contact Group” field, but that’s just the “List” name you want to add contacts to. Other than that, a perfect and easy installation! Thanks Gopi.

Just installed constant contact but I’m not able to get it work. I’ve already registered to constantcontact.com as free trial(60 days).

I already configured the admin section using the username and password from constantcontact.com. I’m always getting message “Please try after some time!”. What’s the problem in this plugin? Please help.

I’ve just installed the plugin and it worked well. Thank you for the wonderful plugin.

For those who received “Please try after some time” error, you might like to check whether your mailing list name in your Constant Contact account is the same as what you entered in “Constant Contact Group” in wordpress admin panel

By the way, I would also like to know how you add a “Name” field? Any advice? Thanks.
