Newsletter signup Shopify change to Mailchimp

We have a Shopify store with Newsletter signup at the end of the page. I was testing it the other day and realized it did not work - the signups did not go anywhere. I searched Google and found out that Shopify recently added an extra layer of Captcha protection which has caused the Newsletter signup forms in some themes (like Paralaxx) to stop working. I disabled the CAPTCHA and then started getting more spam from the Contact Us form.

That is when I made a decision to switch to Mailchimp. 

First, you need to go to Mailchimp Audience (the one you want people to subscribe to) and choose Signup Form - Embedded.



Create a form you would like to have on your site and Copy the code.


Then go to Shopify - Themes - Customize - Footer and then paste Mailchimp code to Custom HTML script box.



MailChimp allows you to embed a form into your site, but the "Submit" button often doesn't appear by default because of how their code generator works. In older versions of templates, in order for the "Submit" button to appear, you need to modify the code MailChimp provides you: see the instructions here. Click Save and you are done.

How to export issues, backlog to file in Jira Next-Gen software project

My developers found it is time-consuming to go thru each of the items, click on the issue, comment then click on another one.. They wanted to see all of them in the file. Apparently it is not very straightforward and I wish Jira developers simplified it by making an Export button at the top of the right corner. Here is how to do it.  When you are in the Next-Gen Project go to Filters - Advanced Issue Search Add caption Then filter for what you would like to export and then in the upper right corner click on Export button and choose what format you would like.
