yes it is written in an American drawl with outdated anecdotes, but the principles are as sound today as they were then – the style is worth a study in itself. Should be a school text book !

Hi. I have the same widget as you do for following but mine is not displaying the numberof followers..like yours says “Join 32 other followers”.. i checked your code and mine and its identical:

but mine shows nothing reagarding the number of followers. do you have a hit a certain number of followers before it will show up? theres nothing really in my widget panel to adjust this widget…only in the plugin editor can i edit things. Any ideas?
thanks!

Hi Frederick,
I love this follow button! But I’m having a little difficulty in the setup. I get the below showing on the frontend and cant see where the code is wrong on mine. I copy and pasted your code twice to try and fix it. I’m sure its something simple but I’m not a coder…

Join get_var(“SELECT COUNT(id) FROM wp_subscribe2 WHERE active=’1′”); ?> other followers:

Hi Frederick, I have this plugin on my blog and tried to follow your instructions, since I am not a programmer, but something is not working as it should. First af all a programmer friend of mine installed me the plugin so point 1 e 2 are done. I had problems with point 3. The pages of my theme are all in php so it was impossible for me to see html code as I am use to see elsewhere. That is why I was not able to insert the code you gave us and actually I have the same problem with other stuff (analytics for example).
Infact if you see my follow page, it appears this line: You may manage your subscription options from your profile where profile is a link to the administration panel. Surely enough there is something I do not understand. Thanks for helping me!

Hi Akshay!

Yeah, seems to be in conflict with other plugins in these pages (the bottom bar or something; I can see multiple JavaScript errors on your page)

Thanks,

Fred

Hi Frederick,

I have a small issue. The follow pop up works fine on the home page, but on single posts or pages its frozen. The blog is http://www.aglastation.com

Have a look at it whenever you have the time.

Also, I tried to replicate your resources tab but it doesn’t seem to work. I want to create one, where I can show the RSS feed from my other blog. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Akshay

Hi!

Unfortunately I do not think so. I would be happy to link to such a plugin in the future, but I don’t have enough time to work on this considering all the work I am putting in my other projects.

Thanks,

Fred

Thanks a lot! This was much needed.

Was great to see a well thought out and detailed description that even a novice could understand.

Will you ever get around to creating the plugin though?
