How do I change the MailChimp field labels?

The text next to or above each field of a form is called a “label” and you may want to change them.

In the form builder, you will find a little pencil icon next to each form label. Click that icon to edit the label and hit the check icon to save it. After you are done editing field labels you will need to hit the “Update Form” button to save all of your changes.

Our plugin fetches your MailChimp list information from your account and stores it on your site in a cache. If you make changes to your MailChimp lists, our plugin will update your site with those changes within an hour. If you want it updated immediately (for instance if you add a new list), you can delete the cache.
