What is Follow?<\/h4>\n\n<p>Follow is just a simple plugin which adds a follow button on Wordpress.org site.(the follow button which wordpress.com users have)<\/p>\n\n<h4>2. Why Follow?<\/h4>\n\n<p>Well, the answer is very simple. I and many of the Wordpress.org users(may be you too) are jealous of the follow button that appears on \nright bottom of all wordpress.com users. And I think why Wordpress.org users must be deprived from it.Thats It!<\/p>\n\n<h4>3. I followed all instructions but when users subscribe to my blog via follow button it shows 404 error and page not found?<\/h4>\n\n<p>This is because you have not made the Subscribe Page with permalink as \"\/subscribe\"\nSee Screenschot 3 and Installation Instructions No. 2 and 3<\/p>\n\n<h4>4. How can I hide the Subscribe Page?<\/h4>\n\n<p>If you want to hide the Subscribe page go to WordPress DashBoard&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Pages&gt;&gt;&gt;All Pages&gt;&gt;&gt;Edit Subscribe Page&gt;&gt;&gt;Uncheck the Show this page in navigation menu to hide the page.\nSee Screenshot 4 for illustration<\/p>\n\n<p>You can also tweet  <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAdityaJain\">@TheAdityaJain<\/a>  or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.adityajain.name\">My Community Discussion Forum at http:\/\/forum.adityajain.name<\/a> for any more questions.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=screenshots-->\n<ol class='screenshots'>\n\t<li>\n\t\t<img class='screenshot' src='screenshot-1.png' alt='follow screenshot 1' \/>\n\t\t<p>Follow Button at my blogs right bottom corner (closed).<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li>\n\t\t<img class='screenshot' src='screenshot-2.png' alt='follow screenshot 2' \/>\n\t\t<p>Follow Button at my blogs right bottom corner (opened).<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li>\n\t\t<img class='screenshot' src='screenshot-3.png' alt='follow screenshot 3' \/>\n\t\t<p>Creating a wordpress page titled \"Subscribe\".<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li>\n\t\t<img class='screenshot' src='screenshot-4.png' alt='follow screenshot 4' \/>\n\t\t<p>The Checkbox (checked by default) which will hide Subscribe page on unchecking.<\/p>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>10.0.1<\/h4>\n\n<p>Initial Release<\/p>\n\n<h4>10.0.2<\/h4>\n\n<p>Removed 9 Bugs which caused Fatal Error appear on Plugins Page.<\/p>\n\n<h4>10.0.3<\/h4>\n\n<p>Removed 3 Bugs and removes \"Plugin by\" to comply with the WordPress Plugin Standards.<\/p>\n\n<h4>10.0.4<\/h4>\n\n<p>Adds an option to hide the Subscribe page.<\/p>\n\n<h4>10.0.5<\/h4>\n\n<p>Removed 4 internal bugs<\/p>\n\n<h4>10.0.6<\/h4>\n\n<p>Removed four (2) internal bugs and Solved the problem of \"star.png\" not displaying when WordPress Directory is not the same as Home URL.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=other_notes-->\n<h3 id='Video'>Video<\/h3>\n<p>Video Tutorial on Installing Follow Plugin on WordPress.Org powered self hosted blogs\/websites.<\/p>\n\n<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SJ4-EcYSs8s]<\/p>\n\n<p>The tutorial covered :<\/p>\n\n<p>*Installing &amp; Activating Follow Plugin.\n*Creating Subscribe Page.\n*Changing permalink of Subscribe page to \/subscribe\n*Inserting S2 Button.\n*Hiding Subscribe page from navigation menu.<\/p>","raw_excerpt":"Adds a Follow button at the right bottom corner of your WP.ORG site.
