Hi,
I have a problem with mailchimp placed in a text widget in the side bar.

When a subscriber submits his name and subscribes, a redirect to a thank you message should occur, but it doesn't.

Also when es subscriber enters nothing, but hits submit, it is supposed to redirect to an error page. This does not happen either

The same code plonked into a pop-up (I have set it to show 1000 times for testing purposes - so you can try it) works beautifully.

So it must have something to do with either the widget or the sidebar setting. Cannot figure out what it is.

Do any of you have any idea where this problem may come from?

Good idea about trying another theme.

I tried on Safari and Firefox and it works, I get

Let me know what happens if you try with another theme

I don't have to understand this...

I changed it to twenty-ten theme. Put the widget back in... it works fine.

Then I changed back to Atahualpa. Realized, I lost all my widgets (wonder what else...). Put them back in. And now they are working to.

What on earth happened here??

Anyhow, I am just glad it is working. Thanks!

Go figure. I mark this as "solved" even though we really don't know what solved it.
