In WordPress, Instead of the usual Feedburner chicklet, it is also possible to display your RSS Subscribers count in Plain Text. This is done by making use of the Feed Count 1.2 plugin created by Francesco Mapelli using the Feedburner Awareness API. The latest version of the plugin is version 1.2 and using CSS, you can configure it to be displayed the way you want!

Salient features of the Feed Count 1.2 plugin are:

  • [New in 1.2] CURL support (more hosting providers are supported!)
  • [New in 1.2] Unsupported empty URL bug fixed
  • Before and After Tags
  • Full CSS styles support
  • Customizable refresh time
  • Customizable link
  • Integration with WordPress administration panel

Installation of the plugin:

  • Get Feed Count zip file & Unzip it
  • Upload feedcount.php to your wordpress plugin directory
  • Activate the plugin from the plugins tab
  • Play with the options (Options -> Feed Count) to fit your needs
  • Be sure to have Awareness API for your feedburner account enabled (to enable it log in to your feedburner account, go to the Publicize tab, click on the Awareness API service and enable it).
  • Put <?php if (function_exists('fc_feedcount')) fc_feedcount(); ?> where you want your feed count to appear.

Play with CSS a little bit and you have your Feedburner feed count displayed the way you want it :)
