(and before I tried that widget I tried the straight feedburner form plug- in but it wasn’t working so I deactivated it and tried subscribe here instead. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up an RSS feed button and a subscribe button on my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [actelliott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actelliott/) * (@actelliott) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/page/2/#post-2344237) * This is the code, it’s worked for the RSS but not email subscribe (and its a single widget that’s meant to do both) * [http://feeds.feedburner.com/ReopeningTheCase](http://feeds.feedburner.com/ReopeningTheCase) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up an RSS feed button and a subscribe button on my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [actelliott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actelliott/) * (@actelliott) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/page/2/#post-2344235) * by rss code, I mean yes it was a feedburner code, which I was asked for when I activated the widget * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up an RSS feed button and a subscribe button on my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [actelliott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actelliott/) * (@actelliott) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/page/2/#post-2344234) * I was given an rss code, which I put in, there was no mention of any other code. * When I try to subscribe by email I get the response: ‘The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled’ * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up an RSS feed button and a subscribe button on my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [actelliott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actelliott/) * (@actelliott) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/page/2/#post-2344232) * Ha! found it. It worked, brilliant – thank you so much Josh. * Don’t suppose you have any idea what I need to do to enable subscriptions by email do you? * No worries if not, you’ve already made a huge difference.

Sorry to be so dozy but where on the dashboard is the plugin directory?

And also not being able to email wordpress direct rather than using the forums, which I have to say I haven’t found very useful so far. * Flash g – completely sympathise, I’ve also read that page several times, tried out three different widgets and I still can’t get the thing to work properly/ look right. Someone on a different forum has recommended the ‘ultimate follow me’ widget – I’m going to try again from scratch tonight and see if I can get this one to work. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up an RSS feed button and a subscribe button on my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [actelliott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actelliott/) * (@actelliott) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/#post-2344219) * jeremyhogan – did you have to set up the RSS feed and then get a separate widget or is an all-in-one widget? And if so, what is it called? * I’ve had so many problems with this. Most recently I downloaded a ‘subscribe here’ widget and the RSS button works but it’s telling me the email subscribe option hasn’t been set-up, no idea how to set it up. Also, the button is two big and the RSS/subscribe buttons are overlapping but I can’t seen an option to resize them. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up an RSS feed button and a subscribe button on my blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/) * Thread Starter [actelliott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actelliott/) * (@actelliott) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-an-rss-feed-button-and-a-subscribe-button-on-my-blog/#post-2344119) * Can anyone help with this?
