Tonight I downloaded the Feed Count 1.2 created by Francesco Mapelli. When I downloaded and installed his plugin it became instantly clear that he hadn’t updated it for blogs who had converted their Feedburner accounts to Google Feedburner. Everywhere I saw the plugin I saw an ugly “N/A” displayed where the numbers should go.
So I fixed a few links in the feedcount.php file and presto… you see I was able to get it working.
Looking at the creators site I can tell he hasn’t been actively checking complaints nor updating the plugin. With that in mind, I’m making it available here at adammclane.com. Hopefully, for other users who were liked Feed Count 1.2 but couldn’t get it working, this will do the trick.
