Feedlinx WordPress Plugin

FeedlinxEmailSubscription is a WordPress plugin that allows you to place a small email subscription box on your blog. Your readers can subscribe to your RSS or ATOM feed and never need to leave your website.

For an example of the FeedlinxEmailSubscription box, see the sidebar of this blog.

    Upgrades

    To upgrade from a previous version of this plugin, you can follow the Installation instructions. Copy the new plugin file over the old plugin file.

    Custom StyleSheets and Custom Text (Multilingual Support)

    With custom stylesheets, you have control to change the presentation and layout of the subscription box. You can even substitute your own button images. A sample.css file has been included in the Zip file. Modify and rename the sample.css file as needed and place the file on your server. You then need to update the $css variable to point to the full path of your stylesheet. Edit this plugin in the WordPress Plugin Editor for more information.

    Every line of text displayed and every alert message has been packaged into a single javascript file called sample_text.js. Just like the stylesheet, you can create your own local copy and update the plugin to point to your file by updating the $msgs variable. You can change the text as needed to fit your site, including using a completely different language. If you create a language translation, please send a copy to support@feedlinx.com so that it can be shared by others.
