About Paid Memberships Pro – MailChimp Add On 2.2
This is an add-on for Paid Memberships Pro that connects your membership site to Mailchimp. Its purpose is to add members to Mailchimp lists as they join, so you can email them from Mailchimp. It is filed under membership, add-on and WordPress plugins categories.
It needs the Paid Memberships Pro plugin and a Mailchimp account. The file on record is version 2.2 from November 2018. Mailchimp has changed its terminology and interface since then (lists are now called audiences), so test it on staging with a test member first.
Requirements
- Paid Memberships Pro
- A Mailchimp account
Key features
- Mailchimp connection
- Links your membership site to a Mailchimp account.
- Member list syncing
- Sends new members to your Mailchimp list.
- Built for PMPro

- Turns sign-ups into a Mailchimp audience without manual exports.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Membership sites on PMPro that email members through Mailchimp
- Site owners who want sign-ups added to a list automatically
Look elsewhere if
- Sites that don't use Paid Memberships Pro
- Sites using another email provider

Notes for this product

Setup: using Paid Memberships Pro – MailChimp Add On 2.2
- Install Paid Memberships Pro. Set up the parent plugin and your levels first.

- Choose lists and test. Pick the list or audience to use, then register a test member and check Mailchimp.
Common problems and fixes
Members don't appear in Mailchimp
- Why it happens
- The API key is wrong, the wrong list is selected, or double opt-in leaves new contacts as pending.
- How to fix it
- Re-enter the key, confirm the list, and look for pending contacts in Mailchimp.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
