Define the widgetareas in your pages, like stated in widget-pages-extension module After that define which widget are allowed for your pages, in particular MailChimpSubscribe.
For example your Page.php will become
class Page extends SiteTree {
private static $db = array(
);
private static $has_one = array(
'SideBar' => 'WidgetArea'
);
private static $allowed_widgets = array(
'MailChimpSubscribe'
);
}
Run a /dev/build?flush=all and enjoy your widgets. Due to a known issue in widget-pages-extension you have to save each page you will need to put the widgets on. For more information about how to use the widgets please see the widget-pages-extension module documentations
