Subscribe Here Widget is a new wordpress plugin I created for a website. It adds a simple widget in the sidebar displaying a very visible(I hope) Subscribe by RSS and Subscribe by Emails controls.

In case you find it useful and you think it worth improving and extending it please let me know your suggestions.

11|Jan|2010 1Love the look of your subscribe widget. However, my sidebar is too narrow – the email box for subscribe extends outside of sidebar. Anyway to change the width.
thanks

12|Jan|2010 2You could also add Twitter and Facebook subscriptions.

13|Jan|2010 3They should come, in the next version. I hope that would be soon.
As of widget width, changing the plugin css should be enough.

14|Jan|2010 5Feed Id is the name of the feed defined in FeedBurner. If your feed address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/FeedId then FeedId is the Feed Id i was talking about.

18|Jan|2010 6Hey, absolutely love this widget. Played with the CSS and it’s awesome for my site now. Had a question though – seems like the Subscribe to RSS link isn’t linking to my feedburner site (yes, I know what the feed ID is and it’s inputted properly). It’s still linking to my standard feed at website.com/feed – any ideas why? Went in to widget settings and have tried updating it, still no go. Thanks for any help!

18|Jan|2010 7I’m just starting up with a corporate blog and have downloaded your plugin which looks exactly what I’m after. Only problem is that it’s not displaying correctly, any idea what I can do to fix it? The subscribe by RSS is merging into the subscribe by email it’s on http://brorablog.co.uk/ if you could take a look and advise I’d be very grateful.
Many thanks

18|Jan|2010 8@Scott: You need another plugin which does a small trick: when the feed is requested it executes a “hidden” redirect to feed burner rss, so it’s supposed to have the same feed url. (I’m using a plugin called feedburner feedsmith, which seems not to be available anymore).
It’s not a good idea to change the rss url with the one from feedburner because you want to have the subscribers linked to your blog rss, not to your feedburner account.
@Hayley: I checked the plugin on your website and it looks just fine.

19|Jan|2010 9Many thanks for your reply, I realised that the font size was making it too large for my sidebar, so altered this in the CSS to make it fit. Thanks for a great widget!

25|Jan|2010 10Downloaded plugin, set up a feedburner acct for this site . . . now, what do I do to make it show up?

27|Jan|2010 11Quick question. I am using the live book marks feed i.e. http://www.21to21.com/feed and I want to just add an email subscription. The reason why I do not want to change over to FeedBurner is that if I do, I lose my current 6,000 subscribers.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks!
admin
27|Jan|2010 12@Shari: Just activate the plugin and add a subscribe widget to your blog sidebar from the Appearance > Widgets, then configure the feed id in the widget.
@Andrew: See what I replied to Scott in a previous comment.

28|Jan|2010 13Hi, thanks for a great plugin!
Finally made it working after your comment explaining feedID – before I was pasting a whole feed url and subscription by email did not work. Thanks for explaining this. Small but frustrating detail if one misses it.
I’m using it together with “FD Feedburner Plugin” to redirect default wp feeds to feedburner. Seems to play nicely together.

30|Jan|2010 14I can’t fin the widget on the list on wp!
What can I do?

07|Feb|2010 15Just thought I’d update this plugin to make it XHTML valid.
In the subscribe-here-widget.php document replace the form with the code below:
echo <<<block
SUBSCRIBE BY EMAIL
block;
great plugin thank you.

08|Feb|2010 17Hi, i’ve got the widget all set up on my site, and the RSS subscription function works fine, but when I test the Email Subscription function, it returns an error that says “The Account does not have subscriptions by email enabled”.
In actuality, I DO have them enabled at FeedBurner. I have also placed my FeedBurner ID in the field in widget settings. Now What?
admin
11|Feb|2010 18I think either you don’t have email subscription enabled for the feedburner feed(take care, you have to enable it separately for each feed added to feedburner), either the feed id is wrong(just make sure you entered the feedburner feed id, not the feedburner account name).

15|Feb|2010 19Editing the CSS file is fairly straight-forward in Wordpress.org hosted. Simply adjust the PX widths of your boxes & text. Takes a little tweaking; but not too technical.

16|Feb|2010 20Hi
I’m having the same problem as Electric choice. My feedburner email subscription IS ACTIVE/ENABLED and the correct feed has been input, and still I get “The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled”…any suggestions?

23|Feb|2010 21Hello! I only need the subscribe by email. Can this be the only portion shown? Your FAQ on WP said the plugin can be modified through the CSS. Is this the right portion to remove?
echo ‘Subscribe by RSS‘;
if ($feedId == null)
return;
Thanks for your assistance and a great widget!!

25|Feb|2010 22Hi I have the subscribe here plugin installed but I can not figure out how to get a list of my subscribers. How do I find that information.
Thanks!
admin
26|Feb|2010 23You have to remove from the php code the rss section. For the next version I’ll update the plugin with a nice option inside the widget.
admin
26|Feb|2010 24this is handled by feedburner, just check there.
admin
26|Feb|2010 25It should work. Make sure you use the feedburner feed id and not feedburner account id.
