I uploaded my zip file into my campaign and it looks nothing like how my .htm file looks. My zip includes all the pics needed.

so i was able to successfully upload my ZIP with my html file and all the image files. i designed the template in Dreamweaver, and used images from a /images subfolder.

i then ZIPped the files with the .html in the root foler and the images in the /images subfolder.

when i sent a test email, none of the images were displayed. i noticed that the src code for each of the images was changed to “http://img.mailchimp.com/404-FILENAME.png” where FILENAME represents the individual name of each file.

should i prepare the imag src in my code differently to upload a ZIP including my /images folder? or is there an easy way to change the code from the campaign builder to correctly link to my images?

thanks!

Hi Brett, we add footers to templates by default if we don’t see certain required tags:

1) The *|UNSUB|* tag adds an unsubscribe link, and
2) if you’re a free account user, we need to see a *|REWARDS|* tag, where we place a MailChimp badge.

In the past, we just threw an error message, but it confused a lot of non-tech-savvy users (“wha? how do I place tags?”). So we started adding that footer automatically.

Anyway, here’s a KB article on how to make it all go away:

(the screenshot needs updating, but the info is the same)

After importing our html, Mailchimp has automatically appended its own “why did I get this?” footer to the bottom of the email. We’d like to use our own footer, but when we delete the one Mailchimp added, it reappears after a refresh. How can we enter our own footer info?

Sara – you can’t have any spaces in any file names of anything you upload.

I am having the same issue as well. I uploaded images but only three of about ten images appeared.
