Description
This plugin allows you to easily switch from Feedburner to the FREE (on the basic plan) and better Feedburner alternative follow.it.
Read more why follow.it is the better Feedburner alternative.
The plugin is very easy to use:
- Step 1: Download, install & activate it
- Step 2: Click on “Apply redirect” for all feeds you want to redirect (most likely your main feed, as well as some comments & author feeds you may have)
- Step 3: Connect it to a follow.it account to get access to your subscribers, see statistics etc. (see screenshots)
Once the redirect is active, your RSS-url will redirect to your new feed page where users can subscribe to your feed.
If you had former Feedburner subscribers, follow the steps as prompted in the plugin to move them over to your new feed (RSS as well as Email subscribers).
If something is not working in the Feedburner alternative plugin, please post a question in the support forum. Thank you!
Screenshots

Your new feed page where users can subscribe
Your subscribers have plenty of options how they want to subscribe. For example, they can filter your feed to only get stories with certain tags, keywords, or authors (screenshot shows the tag-filter).
Subscribers can also select if they prefer to receive only headlines, or the entire content (provided you selected your RSS feed contains this information, otherwise it's just snippets).
Subscribers can also choose via which channels messages should be delivered to them
Statitics about your subscribers

Installation
