Go into your feedburner account. Go to publicize. Then click on
Subscription Management, make sure email is active(located at the very
bottom of the screen. It should say “This service is active”. Next, go
to the middle of that screen and you’ll see the a lot of code that you
would use if you wanted to add an email box (html and all) to your
site. Here is what you need to do next.
Go to your wordpress account. Go to design, then click theme editor.
You’ll see the files on the right. Click on the area of the page that
the rss feed box is located. Most are located in the sidebar.php
file.
Now here is where it gets a a little tricky. You’ll need to manually
change the code. I would suggest copying and pasting the code as you
see it now to a word document and SAVING that document first. Do it
now…… okay, so you’re done.
Now scroll down until you see the following keywords:
onsubmit="window.open
Now, what you’ll want to do is go back to the feedburner page with the
html code. You’ll notice that the code there is similar to the code
inside the wordpress file.
Find the SAME keywords in the feedburner box:
onsubmit="window.open
NOW, after those words, grab the complete URL you see all the way to
the end. Should look something like this:
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=123456
You’ll see feed id with a number. DON’T grab the quotes on both ends.
Now, go back to the sidebar.php file and past that code IN PLACE OF
this URL:
http://www.feedburner.com
Which is just after: onsubmit="window.open
Now, go back to the feedburner page. Look for the following inside the
html box:
<input type="hidden" value=
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=123456
name="url"/>
Copy THAT URL only, as you did in the above step and go back to your
wordpress file.
Locate the following code:
<input value="<?php echo $artsee_feed; ?>" name="url"
Copy that URL in the place of the <?php echo $artsee_feed; ?> as seen
above.
Click on the SAVE button and you’ve just HACKED your way to getting
Feedburner to work with Wordpress!!!
I spend 10 HOURS trying to figure this out!. I just tested it as I am
typing this and it WORKED!!!!! Woohooo!!!!!
