The ENN Mailchimp Signup widgets included in the theme appear to be set to feed into the "All Digest Subscribers" list. They've been going to that list for at least the last 3 years: https://github.com/INN/umbrella-energynewsnetwork/blame/master/wp-content/themes/midwestenergynews/inc/widgets/mwen-mailchimp.php#L28

The Ninja Forms widget with name ""

The Mailchimp popup has been recreated in the correct list:

<!-- ENN Daily Email Digests list -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//downloads.mailchimp.com/js/signup-forms/popup/unique-methods/embed.js" data-dojo-config="usePlainJson: true, isDebug: false"></script><script type="text/javascript">window.dojoRequire(["mojo/signup-forms/Loader"], function(L) { L.start({"baseUrl":"mc.us7.list-manage.com","uuid":"ae5d3a0c6088cad29d71bf0d0","lid":"724b1f01f5","uniqueMethods":true}) })</script>

The Ninja Forms signup widget used on the homepage, "Subscribe to Energy News Updates - Journity Group Assignment - Widget", feeds into Zapier. I have no visibility on where that goes; we don't appear to have a login for their Zapier.

The Ninja Forms widget needs style work if we're to get it to appear in the mobile header; it did not appear prettily there. Top is the ENN Mailchimp Signup widget; bottom is the Ninja Forms widget.

The idea was that we'd remove all the old signup forms and replace them with native Mailchimp forms. The current forms were built by a different vendor (before I took over as director) and run through Integromat, and I'd like to avoid relying on paid third-party services as much as possible.

Also the "manage subscriptions" button on /category/digest appears to still be pointing to the wrong list. I've tested the contact form on that page and haven't received the email after about 10 minutes, it should be sending to editor@energynews.us.

On the live site the search function is only returning results with the keyword in the headline, and not within the date limiters. Here's an example: https://energynews.us/category/digest/?digest-search=solar&after=2020-05-04&before=2020-05-08&digest-search-region%5B%5D=northeast&search+submit= That search (solar in NE from 5/4-5/8) should have returned every digest from last week.
