Unable to link to form created with shortcode

Hello,

I am trying to set up a newsletter subscription link for my client on at least two of her webpages. She would like the Subscribe link on her homepage to display a form for subscribing to her newsletter. I pasted the shortcode for this form, created with MailChimp, into the Call to Action button link, but it did not work.

Please see *Login to see link for details. Clicking the Subscribe link displays a page not found, etc., error message.

On the Ministries page, I attempted to hyperlink “subscribe” text to the shortcode. That did not work. I pasted the shortcode into the page, and that displayed what I assume to be a working form. However, my client does not want the form to appear on the page. She instead wants the form to be accessed from a hyperlink.

Please see *Login to see link for details.

I also added a contact form, using the Contact 7 plug-in, to display a contact form with a dropdown menu for displaying service offerings. I was unsuccessful in implementing the dropdown menu, but know it can configured (I will revisit and try again), and plan to add newsletter subscription to menu options.

Please advise on how I can fix the first two problems.

thanks~
