How to integrate word press with mailchimp? is this possible to integrate with mailchimp?

you can use MailChimp for WordPress plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

The "correct" answer to this question really depends on what you mean by "integrate" but it is relatively easy to add sign-up methods for your MailChimp lists to your site using the mentioned MailChimp for WordPress plugin.
The plugin gives you the option to create sign-up forms for your MailChimp lists and allows adding simple sign-up checkboxes to, say, your comment form etc.
There are various add-ons for the plugin available which let you do pop-ups, top bars and other marketing gimmicks.
Hope that helps!

If you're looking to create more than one opt-in form for your site, have a look at:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/
All you need to do to link up your site with your MailChimp account is provide your API key, which can be retrieved in the account settings of your MailChimp account.
Once connected, you'll have access to your MailChimp account lists, account/profile details, full access to your subscribers and their associated details and more.
A "form builder" is included in the plugin, allowing you to completely build up and customize your forms so it fits in well with your site. There is also a Google reCAPTCHA module included, to help prevent from spammers.

WordPress Plugin for Custom forms with Admin Dashboard for sorting and exporting

Is there a WordPress plugin that not only has the ability to create Custom Forms, but with the ability to have a full Admin Dashboard to manage the form submissions, as in sort, filter, export, etc.
Basically, something like NinjaForms, but with a robust Admin Dashboard and submission management system. The NinjaForms unfortunately seems limited (no sorting by fields, etc.) and I don't see a plugin to add onto it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms/
Perhaps, there is a plugin that can be customized to have what is need specifically?
I just need a couple of small custom forms and the admin dashboard only needs about a few fields to sort by per form and the export should export to Excel or CSV.
From my research, looks like Formidable Forms has the specific custom Reports, Graphs and Statistics features I've been looking for, as well as providing tools to build custom forms:
https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/add-field-totals-and-statistics/
I haven't seen reporting features like this in other plugins like NinjaForms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, etc... If there are reporting features in something else that match Formidable Forms, please let me know.
Thanks!

MailChimp and Wordpress Integration for E-Book download

I'm a little new to web dev and coding so forgive my basic question..
I'm working as a sales and marketing consultant for a software company. The company has requested i create a mailchimp campaign linking to a landing page on wordpress, with downloadable e-book for subscribers. I'm having difficulty with this; does anyone have a recommendation or solution to integrate/automate the two?
To be more concise, there's three actions required: Sending the campaign (Mailchimp), redirecting to the landing page (Wordpress), and then downloading E-Book AFTER subscribing (Wordpress). All these actions have been completed; I just don't know how to automate/integrate the actions together.
i realize it's not a coding question per se, but I assume some coding may be needed.
Thanks :)
P.s. I searched for a similar question but to no avail. If there is one, please link the answers :)
Have you tried the mail chimp plug-in?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/
-Good luck [:
I have had to create a similar workflow, below is my process.
Create a list on mailchimp
within this list, in the forms tab, create a form to get name and email info of people wanting to download your Ebook
open 'embedded forms' in the same list and copy the HTML code
Using the Bloom plugin connect mailchimp and wordpress.
selected the mailchimp list you want to connect
select 'custom HTML form' and paste the code
make final aesthetic changes to from
Bloom will give you a 'shortcode for the optin' which can be copied into a black wordpress page. (this will show your form)
Create a landing page on wordpress
standard page nothing special but link to you wordpress page with your form
Set up automation on Mailchimp that whenever someone signs up to your list they get an email with a link to the Ebook.
That's the overview, with many learning opportunities along the way ;)

how to create a custom contact form on wordpress?

I would like to create a contact form
How is it better make it with plugin or manual?
I have designed the form on a page. I
Now I would like to validate but I would like to use a plugin as jquery-validator. is it possible?
But when I'll look at the browser. I see it out of box from my web.
Some example. I am a little confused. Thank you
use this plug in easy to get this https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/
I would highly recommend either Contact Form 7 or Gravity Forms plugins to customize your contact form on your WordPress site, depending on your budget and use, but both of them are really good.
When it comes to how quickly you can create a standard contact form to your website, Contact Form 7 can be the much better, because the plugin is free to use, as for Gravity Forms, it requires you to purchase the plugin, download the archive file, upload it to your website, and then create a form. Only after this step is complete can you publish it. You can find more detailed info here about it and a step by step guide on how to add them and maximize your use of them. Hope it helps! ;)

One page wordpress template with subscription option

I'm new to wordpress. I have to create a one page template for my site and show a subscribe textbox on it with my own custom style. Later, I will use it to send monthly newsletters. What can be the simplest way to do that? I saw into some plugins like newsletter, subscribe2, but they are complicated and I don't know how to integrate them with my text box. They just provide some sort of widget to show on sidebar. Any tutorial or simple plugin? Please help!
You basically have three options:
a. Use a web-hosted syndication service as per the below. (Easiest to configure)
b. Install some sort of newsletter sending plugin for WordPress. (More control, but more configuration)
c. Use a web-hosted newsletter service like Constant Contact (Expensive and Ugh.).
Try using Feedburner with email subscriptions -- see: http://howtotechtips.blogspot.com/2008/05/create-feedburner-email-subscription.html. You sign up, supply your RSS feed's address, then copy-paste the resulting code where-ever in your template you like. Then, whenever you write a new post, your subscribers are sent an email.
Subscribe2 complicated?
You can do auto-download/install from the administration area, you literally only have to config a few options.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins
Maybe it's just me, but the screenshots certainly make the plugin appear to be very straight-forward.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/screenshots/
If you are not heavy with subscription list. Then a good option can be using the MailChimp email subscription with its free option.
You can just install the plugin and place a function called mailchimpSF_signup_form() into your template's right place. And beautify it with your own CSS.
Or in Post or pages' HTML using the shortcode [mailchimpsf_form]
They also have widget to be added dynamically. How to use it?
Create a free account at MailChimp.
Create a list there.
Create an API key there
Go to your MailChimp options page http://yourwordpress.tld/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=mailchimpSF_options
Insert the API key there.
Select the list you want this subscription to be linked to.
There you are!

Members only based plugin for Wordpress

Can anyone recommend me a good members-only plugin? I want to hide pages (and their tabs) if users aren't signed in.
So far I have found:
'Member Access' which doesn't hide the tabs
'wp-members' which wouldn't work with 2.8.4
'user access manager' which was too complex clunky to be useful.
There should be something basic out there for what I need, but no luck so far.
Justin Tadlock is a WordPress heavy (wrote the popular Hybrid theme framework), recently released a comprehensive user management plugin called Members, which among other things can turn your blog into a login-only venue:
Private Blog: Allows you to create a
private blog that can only be accessed
by users that are logged in (redirects
them to the login page).
But I get the impression that you're looking to keep some part available to the public users and other parts only for registered users.
You can also use this plugin to restrict certain areas of your blog, screenshot example here: based on role
Hiding the tabs from the public user is the challenging part. Themes typically aren't designed with private portions in mind; you'd have to hack it yourself or get someone to do it for you.
If are familiar with php and WP structure, you can add a few lines of code to a few template files to redirect users to login page if they are not signed-in. Let me know if you want to go that way. I can try to provide sample code. Are you using one of the basic themes?
I have a plugin called "LJ Custom Menu Links" that can do what you are asking. However as the name suggests they are custom links, so you would have to hand add the pages you want. But it does/and can only show a link when a user is logged on if that is what you want. Combined with "pagemash" plugin which will hide pages from the menu generated by WP itself leaving only the pages linked to by the LJ Custom Menu Links plugin.
However I was under the impression if you made a Page private then it wouldn't show up unless someone was logged in, or am I wrong on that one?
A good option is to use three difference plugins:
Member Access
Register Plus
AJAX Login Widget++
You can find my post on all these here:
http://sbhosting.com/wordpress-member-area/
Try CMS Members
I know it hide some pages for non-members.
A paid option is this. It's VERY good. I use it on several websites. Called Wishlist Memeber
For me s2member does the job. You don't have to use the paypal option, you can stick with free membership.
