You can add this to your active theme or custom plugin: add_filter( 'constant_contact_include_custom_field_label', '__return_true' );. Note: custom fields have a max length of 50 characters. Including the labels will subtract from the 50 character total available.
You will need to make the connection to Constant Contact using the credentials of the account owner. Campaign manager credentials will not have enough access.
Some users are experiencing errors when upgrading from an older version of the plugin. If you are receiving an error “Please select at least one list to subscribe to” on your form submissions we recommend “Sync Lists with Constant Contact”, this can be found in your admin dashboard Contact Form > Lists. If problem still persists we recommend recreating the form from scratch.

Constantly disconnects
By 
The plugin never refreshes the login token, so you will regularly find the plugin has mysteriously disconnected at some point, and that all signups have silently failed. The support forums are filled with support requests all saying the same thing for years. Please, take this seriously.
Absolute Bare Minimum
By 
I am looking to switch from using Constant Contact just so I can have a better form option for my website. This plug in is awful. You can't do hardly any customization, and so I end up with a form that has ugly, short form fields, a big square button, and a blue box that says "edit form" stuck right in the middle of my form. No idea where it came from or how to get rid of it. So I can't use it anywhere on my site. It's just awful, and frustrating and makes me wonder if this bare minimum is what they do with all their products.
Great, when it works.
By 
Seems that about once every few months, I have to reconnect my Constant Contact account to my WordPress site / forms. Ridiculous that it can't work and STAY WORKING for more than a few months.
Effective But Got Potential
By 
This plugin does what it markets without any new paid subscription model.
But it does not allow further customization for the titles, form max-width, colors, or custom typefaces. The developers should also collaborate with visual builders like Bricks, and Elementor.
Looking forward for more rubust integrations.
Pretty good
By 
Pretty good plugin that work well for us. Lately though, there have been some conntection issues that hopefully will end soon. Otherwise, this would have been a 5-Star review.
Error prone plugin and clunky platform
By 
Our organization has experienced constant issues with the Constant Contact WP plugin and platform. Constant disconnects, issues after each update, lists randomly stop syncing or disappear, new signups not being allocated to their chosen lists during sign up etc. The plugin and platform also lacks a lot of dynamic features that other competitors provide. We rely heavily on email signups for our marketing and this platform/plugin are noticeably hurting our efforts, which is why we are finally making the move to another provider.
Works great, support is excellent.

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about...it works great for me.
Great when it works
By 
It is so convenient to have this plugin available and sync to your CC lists. However, the plugin randomly deactivates and gives you no notification of when it is no longer syncing. Then you'll be notified of a new subscriber to your email address, but that person will never make it over into CC. It's very stressful to try to figure out who made it to the list and who didn't and when it stopped syncing. This can't be that hard of issue to solve! At minimum, sending an email that the list is no longer syncing so we can go in and disconnect and reconnect (that seems to be what works).
Randomly Disconnects
By 
When it works, it works, but the plugin randomly resets the connection which causes email signups to be hung up and clears all the lists. It also doesn't show as disconnected but seems to be solved by disconnecting and then reconnecting. If this could be solved then it would be 5 stars
Great plug in, awesome support
By 
We have been using this on our website and it works well. I had a small issue and the support jumped in quickly to help out. Between the great plug-in and the awesome support I highly recommend this plugin.
