Quick Start for WordPress

For the best results using FeedBurner with your self-hosted WordPress site, we recommend the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin (originally authored by the awesome Steve Smith). The plugin will detect all ways to access your feed (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/feed/ or http://www.yoursite.com/wp-rss2.php, etc.), and redirect them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible subscriber. It will forward for your main posts feed, and optionally your main comments feed as well.

Download the plugin and then follow the instructions below to begin forwarding all WordPress feed traffic to your FeedBurner feed.

Installation

Copy the plugin file, FeedBurner_FeedSmith_Plugin.php into your default WordPress plugin directory, wp-content/plugins/ .

Activate the plugin by logging into your WordPress administration area, clicking Plugins, then clicking Activate at the end of the “FeedBurner FeedSmith” row.

In the WordPress administration area, begin the configuration by clicking Options and then the FeedBurner FeedSmith sub-option.

Follow the links to create your FeedBurner feeds, or if they already exist, simply fill in their URLs in the boxes provided.

NOTE: If you currently use the old, 2005-vintage version of the Ordered List FeedBurner plugin that generates a FeedBurner-specific URL (an example: www.yoursite.com/feedburner_838196/), that URL is no longer available or necessary. You will have to reset your FeedBurner feed’s Original Feed address to now use your standard blog feed address. Additionally, you should examine any .htaccess files that control access to your WordPress installation’s content and remove any existing references that forward or redirect your feeds, as these references will no longer be necessary.

Verify your URLs in the text entry fields, and click Save.

Now, all of your WordPress feed traffic should be redirected to FeedBurner.

Deactivation

To deactivate automatic forwarding of your feed traffic to FeedBurner, deactivate the plugin via the Plugins section of your WordPress Administration control panel.

For WordPress, we recommend the following set of services:
Browser-Friendly Burner. It makes your feed easy to view and subscribe to when viewed in a web browser.
Podcasting with WordPress? Then you should use SmartCast™. It will ensure maximum compatibility for your WordPress podcast feed. (Be sure to check your feed settings if you plan to podcast with WordPress.)
Verifying WordPress feed settings for podcasting
Are you using WordPress for podcasting? If so, it’s important to know that newer versions of WordPress will automatically convert linked MP3 files to RSS enclosures, but using our SmartCast™ service will guarantee maximum compatibility and reliability for your podcast. Either way, you will need to make sure you’re publishing a “full text” feed so your links make it into the RSS feed. Here’s how to verify your original WordPress site feed’s format:

In a new browser window, sign in to your WordPress account.

Once logged in, click the Options tab in the upper right part of the screen.

Click the Reading sub-tab.

FeedBurner FeedSmith

You should see the “Reading Options” settings page for your site.

On the “Publicity and Feeds” settings page, locate the “Syndication Feeds” section and make sure the “Full text” option is selected.

Click Update Options.

You should see the message “Options saved.”
