Subscribe-Widget free and usefull WordPress plugin
Important: Important: Before plugin install make sure that folders can be created by wordpress in your blog directory (root directory of the blog). Or you can create it yourself. Folders name should be: subscribe-widget; permissions: 0777.
Subscribe-Widget is a free wordpress plugin, which was designed to be used by all bloggers wishing to inform readers about specific information, in a fast and reliable way. This plug-in will create: rss2, comments rss, twitter and feedburner icons on your blog sidebar. These icons will in turn lead readers to your rss, twitter, feedburner and comments rss, accordingly, readers will then be able to find the latest news on your blog. If you want you can disable these icons one by one and only leave those which are needed. To enable the twitter and feedburner icons, one should have acounts on www.twitter.com and www.feedburner.com, as the plugin creates links to these blog accounts.
Subscribe-Widget has been dessogned to be very practical, as the blog admin allows for one to be able to choose your icons‘ width and height, allows for one to be able to write a title (which will appear above the icons), one will also be able to choose hwo to align the icons (left, center, right), as well as beign able to disable these icons one by one.
Should you be struggling to find the right icon, you can also upload one by yourself. Go to: plugins directory /wp-content/plugins/subscribe-widget/images/. New uploaded icons may vary in size, as the Subscribe-Widget plugin will resize the icon to the needed width or height, however images should be no smaller then 50×50 pixels. So, by choosing to use this plug-in, one can choose how to display your icons, as it is all up to you, the blogger.
Now you can use subscribe icons anywhere on the theme. Only thing is, you should use this code :
<?php if( function_exists(sw_displayOnTheTheme()) ){ sw_displayOnTheTheme(); } ?> .
Put it on the needed theme file, check the checkbox on “Show ‘Subscribe Icons’ on the theme” and it will show the images on the theme, but will disable images on the widget. In some cases, there should be some styling done on the theme, to show those images correctly; because the themes are different, and styling can’t be made for all of them.

Important to note: Images will be resized, firstly by width and then by height. If images width will be smaller then selected, then image will be not resized. The same applies to the image height.
Thank you for a great plug-in.
However, I can’t get feedburner to work
What exactly is it I’m am supposed to insert in the field?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

OK – Stupid me!
I had just forgotten to activate it, sorry.
To wishes though:
1) It would be absolutely great if all the images was on transparent background.
2) It would be great if Facebook could be included. From other comments, I can see I’m not the only one asking for that.
Thank you once again, that plug-in is great.

Most Excellent Plugin! (have a cup of coffee on me!)
Only suggestions I can see, is to add Facebook and perhaps Digg and Stumbleupon; and to be able to drag & drop the icons in the order you would like them to appear.
Again, excellent plugin!
Oooops! Forgot, LinkedIn and Facebook would be the next best two to add to the plugin. These are better than the rest for building your profile and followers.
Again, thanks for the great plugin!
very nice.Thanks!
Great Plugin i just love it. It would be perfect if you could add other social networks like Facebook, Digg, YouTube. Anyway Thanks!

Of the subscribe plugs out there I like yours a lot. However when installed on my site it adds a white line between the main body and the footer. Is there a setting that I can change? Can you tell me what portion of the php file to edit? I went through but could see any particular code to edit. I’m sure it’s there.
And yes, I did uninstall it and the white line went away so it is definitely something in the plug that is cause it to happen on my theme.
Thanks.

I updated the plugin and after the update it indicates that the folder does not have 0777 as the permissions. However, I checked and it is indeed listed with permissions as 0777. Please advise.
What’s with the 777 permission? That strikes me as not the smartest thing to do so have gone back to the previous version.

Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
Hi, I have been using this widget perfectly fine but when I just upgraded to the newest version, it is not showing up on my blog. The widge shows up in the widget area and the plug-in is active. Any tips on why the old versionworked and now this one doesn’t?!?! I need to get this fixed ASAP! Thanks in advance
The twitter icons seem to all have a white background, where the others have a few with transparent backgrounds. I’d love to have some Twitter icons that you can’t see the white around the edges. Also as someone else said, I’d like to be able to reorder them. Great app!
