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.
Compatibility
FeedlinxEmailSubscription has been tested with WordPress 2.0.1 and above.
Installation
- Download the feedlinx-email-subscription.php file. (see the end of this article for download location)
- Copy feedlinx-email-subscription.php into your WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins).
- Login to WordPress Admin. Go to the Plugins page and click Activate for FeedlinxEmailSubscription.
- In WordPress Admin. Go to the Presentation page and click Theme Editor.
- Add the following code to your Sidebar (or appropriate file for your theme) and click Update File:
<?php FeedlinxEmailSubscription(); ?>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.

Hello Shannon
I installed the plugin but, I see a big blank area below the feedlinx box without no reason.
Have any ideas?
One more thing.
I would like to (if possible) customize the titles appearing, so after I can adjust (make smaller) the width of the box. Can I do this?
Thanx again…
That is really great Thanks
You can modify the plugin’s display by pointing the code to your own stylesheet:
echo “var css = \”http://myserver.com/css/mycss.css\”;
I’ll try to provide a sample CSS file with the code which should make it easier to change.
If you would like to remove the space at the bottom of the box, you can delete the linebreak codes (
). Edit the plugin and search for the following code:
old code = …/iframe><br><br>’);\n”;
new code = …/iframe>’);\n”;
You can snip-out one or both of the linebreaks.

Feedlinx is dead. Please do not use this plugin.
hei…is it true this plugin dead?
Is it still working now?
Please help..
Feedlinx is still dead. I’ve been playing with the idea of reviving it, but it’s still dead for now. Where did you find the link? I should probably update the info. there. Thanks!
