How do I include which custom fields labels are which custom field values in my Constant Contact Account?

You can add this to your active theme or custom plugin: add_filter( 'constant_contact_include_custom_field_label', '__return_true' );. Note: custom fields have a max length of 50 characters. Including the labels will subtract from the 50 character total available.

Which account level access is needed to connect my WordPress account to Constant Contact?

You will need to make the connection to Constant Contact using the credentials of the account owner. Campaign manager credentials will not have enough access.

Error: Please select at least one list to subscribe to.

Some users are experiencing errors when upgrading from an older version of the plugin. If you are receiving an error “Please select at least one list to subscribe to” on your form submissions we recommend “Sync Lists with Constant Contact”, this can be found in your admin dashboard Contact Form > Lists. If problem still persists we recommend recreating the form from scratch.

It is so convenient to have this plugin available and sync to your CC lists. However, the plugin randomly deactivates and gives you no notification of when it is no longer syncing. Then you’ll be notified of a new subscriber to your email address, but that person will never make it over into CC. It’s very stressful to try to figure out who made it to the list and who didn’t and when it stopped syncing. This can’t be that hard of issue to solve! At minimum, sending an email that the list is no longer syncing so we can go in and disconnect and reconnect (that seems to be what works).

When it works, it works, but the plugin randomly resets the connection which causes email signups to be hung up and clears all the lists. It also doesn’t show as disconnected but seems to be solved by disconnecting and then reconnecting. If this could be solved then it would be 5 stars

We have been using this on our website and it works well. I had a small issue and the support jumped in quickly to help out. Between the great plug-in and the awesome support I highly recommend this plugin.
