Mailchimp Preferences Center Not Showing (Solved)

Time needed: 5 minutes.

The Preferences Center in Mailchimp is where your subscribers may choose their marketing preferences rather than unsubscribing. There is a common issue where some people don’t see the Preferences Center in their Mailchimp account.
Below are the steps to follow if you don’t see the Preferences Center in your account.
