Quick question what can I edit to keep the email box from going upside the side box.

Add this to your stylesheet.

That is going to disappoint many users of this module because their hosting companies have not upgraded to 5.6 or better. :dontgetit

Is there any work around for those using PHP 5.3+ , 5.4+ or 5.5+?

If not, I will have to send a newsletter out to everyone letting them know they have to turn it off and use an alternative method.

That's your problem then. PHP 5.3 has been out of active support for several years now. You need to be at 5.6 or better.

http://php.net/supported-versions.php

If your hoster is running a version of PHP that's that out of date, you need to find a new hoster. They are exposing your site to attack by not staying up to date. I wonder what else they haven't patched - Heartbleed, for example?

No clue - the customer who's site I just upgraded and was asking the question about is on a Camelot server.

I doubt they are running 5.3.

I am unfortunately running 5.4 working on upgrading just host is still running 5.4 and the mailchimp plug in is working for me. I need a new host.

5.4 is less out of date than 5.3, but it's still out of date. As a shopowner, it's your responsibility to press your hoster to stay up to date, and fire them if they can't or won't.

I was just able to update to 5.6. Uggh finally. I have had a ton of malaware attacks on my site (not store but httpaccess) suddenly. I am so switching from justhost come January everytime I have an issue it seems to cost me more and more money. I am so sick and tired of being nickled and dimed. Thanks the style worked :-)

Unfortunately, hosting has just become a horrible tire fire. There are so many crappy low cost services that no one is willing to open a moderately priced good service because unsophisticated customers can't see the difference and are unwilling to pay more.

Wow, your server has been up for almost 3 years. I wonder how up to date it is, because I need to reboot my servers on a regular basis to install security patches and so on.

Have you contacted them to find out why you're still running 5.3?

I am surprised because the server is slower than molasses! Very frustrating to work on!! Thankfully it is not "my server" - it is where a customer of mine is hosted at! LOL

No - but I can tell my customer she may want to do that. I have already informed her the site is so slow it is causing me to have MORE gray hairs just trying to do anything on it!

Hey Judy, before trying to toss someone under the bus realize that php 5.6 has been available for quite awhile
Since you client and apparently yourself had the ability to PUSH THE BUTTON maybe you should have done that.

as for the rest, Yes we are up to date

Since we choose to run KSplice and Cloudlinux we are not required to reboot the server to update the kernel so yes rest assured we are all up to date

"Tossing someone under the bus" certainly was not my intention..... and honestly not sure "who" I am supposedly tossing?

I simply asked a question because the new module didn't work for my customers website and supplied answers to questions that were asked. I gave the customer the info others recommended and it is up to her (her website, not mine) to follow through on her end.

I truly apologize if you or anyone else took ANY of my questions or posts as an attempt to "toss someone under the bus".

@stellarweb

I understand that some of our clients may have a hesitation to switch PHP versions, may be too daunting for them to do.

If you have access to the cPanel you should be safe to enable all PHP modules necessary for ZC 1.5.4 to work with PHP 5.6 and then "flick the switch" to PHP 5.6

That should make the MailChimp Newsletter Sidebox operational again and speed up the site.

Just my 5 cents.

The wheels of the Bus LOL,
All is good
