Mise à jour : Nous ne recommandons plus l’utilisation de FeedBurner car c’est un produit moribond plein de bogues. Veuillez lire cet article pour savoir pourquoi vous ne devriez pas utiliser FeedBurner et trouver des alternatives.
Tous les grands blogs utilisent FeedBurner pour graver leurs flux RSS car il s’agit d’un système gratuit riche en fonctionnalités que vous ne pouvez pas refuser. FeedBurner fournit des statistiques, une option d’optimisation des flux, une option de publication des flux et bien plus encore. L’intégration de FeedBurner et de Google Analytics est un must pour tout blog WordPress. Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment vous pouvez configurer les flux de votre blog WordPress avec FeedBurner et l’utiliser pour vous aider à faire passer votre blog au niveau supérieur.
Pourquoi FeedBurner est-il important pour les blogueurs ?
FeedBurner est un service gratuit qui propose de nombreuses options que vous n’avez pas avec le flux par défaut de WordPress. Voici quelques-unes de ses fonctionnalités :
- Statistiques sur vos abonnés/abonnés RSS afin que vous puissiez analyser et optimiser vos publications de blog.
- Donnez à vos utilisateurs/utilisatrices plusieurs options pour s’abonner, comme l’E-mail, et d’autres lecteurs de flux (Netvibes, Google, etc.).
- Preuve sociale (nombre d’abonnés/abonnées)
- Option de personnalisation de vos flux, par exemple en modifiant les titres des publications, la marque et plus encore.
- Option de ping pour les différents services de lecture de flux une fois que vous publiez vos publications.
- Intégration de Google Adsense pour monétiser vos flux RSS.
- Et plus encore…
Rien qu’avec cette courte liste de fonctionnalités, vous pouvez voir qu’il s’agit d’un outil indispensable pour tous les blogs. Nous allons maintenant configurer le compte FeedBurner.
Réglages de votre FeedBurner pour les flux WordPress
Tout d’abord, vous devez disposer d’un compte Google (n’importe quel compte Gmail fonctionnera). Visitez la page du service feedburner pour commencer ce processus.
Dans la première étape, vous taperez le lien vers le flux de votre blog WordPress. Si vous avez une structure d’URL WordPress SEO Friendly, alors votre lien de flux devrait être comme votredomaine.com/feed/.
À l’étape par étape, vous choisirez le titre de votre flux et l’adresse de votre flux. Il est conseillé de garder le même titre de votre flux que celui de votre blog. Il est préférable que l’adresse de votre flux soit courte et mémorable.
Techniquement, vos flux sont créés, vous n’avez donc plus besoin de suivre les étapes. Cliquez sur le lien Aller directement à la gestion des flux.
Vous verrez une page avec un lien vers des tonnes de plateformes de blogs. Ignorez tout cela car nous y reviendrons ultérieurement dans cet article. Cliquez simplement sur l’onglet Optimiser que vous voyez dans l’image ci-dessous.
Dans l’étape par étape 5, nous allons travailler sur l’optimisation du flux de votre blog WordPress. Vous devez vous assurer que vous avez l’option Browser Friendly activée, Smart Feed activé et FeedFlare activé. Vous pouvez activer d’autres services si vous le souhaitez, mais ces 3 services sont incontournables. BrowserFriendly rend les abonnés/abonnées beaucoup plus simples. SmartFeed assure une compatibilité maximale avec toutes les applications de lecteurs de flux. FeedFlare rend les publications plus interactives en ajoutant l’E-mail de l’expéditeur et d’autres options de partage.
À l’étape par étape, nous allons examiner toutes les options de publicisation du flux. Vous devez permettre les E-mails d’abonnement sur votre site parce qu’il y a des utilisateurs/utilisatrices qui préfèrent recevoir des mises à jour par e-mail plutôt que d’utiliser Google reader. Pingshot doit être activé car il notifie les services lorsque vous publiez. Le widget Feedcount vous permet d’afficher le nombre de vos abonnés/abonnés. C’est l’une des meilleures méthodes de preuve sociale. Awareness API est utile si vous essayez de vous inscrire sur des sites tels que BuySellAds, car ils peuvent facilement extraire votre nombre d’abonnés/abonnés. Il existe d’autres options intéressantes comme Headline Animator, BuzzBoost que vous pouvez activer si vous le souhaitez.
La monétisation de votre flux est une autre des bonnes fonctionnalités de FeedBurner, sauf qu’il vous permet uniquement d’utiliser Google Adsense. Inscrivez-vous donc auprès de Google Adsense et suivez leurs instructions.
Une fois que vous avez effectué toutes les étapes ci-dessus, vous pouvez cliquer sur l’onglet Analyser. Vous verrez probablement un écran comme celui ci-dessous parce que les statistiques ne sont pas enregistrées. Laissez passer jusqu’à 24 heures et vous commencerez à voir des chiffres. Utilisez le nombre d’abonnés/abonnés, les clics et d’autres données utiles pour améliorer votre blog. Voyez ce que vos utilisateurs/utilisatrices aiment et n’aiment pas grâce à ces stas, puis concentrez-vous sur le type de publications que vos utilisateurs/utilisatrices aiment et apprécient.
Intégrer FeedBurner dans WordPress
Même si vous avez configuré votre flux avec FeedBurner dans les étapes ci-dessus, mais vous ne l’avez pas encore vraiment intégré à WordPress. La première chose à faire est d’arrêter de diluer votre flux et d’en faire un seul. Vous devez créer une redirection, de sorte que lorsque les utilisateurs/utilisatrices essaient de visiter yourdomain.com/feed/, ils sont redirigés vers votre page de flux FeedBurner. De cette façon, vous pouvez garder une trace des abonnés/abonnées sur votre blog.
Il existe une extension appelée FD FeedBurner qui vous permet de créer cette redirection facilement. Vous pouvez également rediriger vos flux à l’aide du fichier .htaccess, mais nous ne partagerons pas cette méthode car ce n’est pas quelque chose que nous recommandons aux débutants.
La plupart des thèmes WordPress intègrent désormais FeedBurner, comme le thème Headway, le thème Standard et d’autres. Si votre thème n’est pas compatible, utilisez l’extension ci-dessus.
Ajoutez la boîte d’abonné/abonné par e-mail sur votre site
Visitez d’abord Publicize » Email Subscriptions puis copiez et collez le code qu’ils vous donnent dans le fichier de modèle que vous aimez (la plupart du temps sidebar.php). N’oubliez pas que pour personnaliser l’apparence de votre formulaire d’e-mail, vous devez avoir des connaissances préalables en HTML et CSS.
Si votre blog n’a pas de flux FeedBurner, téléchargez-le dès maintenant.

I tried to burn the feeds. However I am getting an error.
When I burn the feed I get this error –
The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 97: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.
What seems to be the problem ? I can’t figure it out.

Thank you very much.
This was easy and quick to follow.
No way I could make this by myself
Have a good day.

Hi! So I’m a total newbie at this, and I’m being driven crazy! My website is a food blog composed of mainly two parts: restaurant reviews (written as posts) and recipe (Written as recipes in my premium food and cook theme). My posts have all of jetpack/feedburner options applied to them, as in the comment box under posts, and email notification when I update posts (Restaurant reviews). However, if I add a new recipe, no email notification goes out, and my rss feed doesn’t show recipes at all it only shows restaurant reviews. I tried to add a seperate rss feed for the recipe category and it didn’t work. I know this is confusing but I’d greatly appreciate any help!!

rss feed: http://everylittlecrumb.com/feed/
WPBeginner Support says
Farah it seems like recipes on your site are a custom post type and are not part of you main feed. See how to add custom post types to your site’s main rss feed. https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-custom-post-types-to-your-main-wordpress-rss-feed/

Hey:)
First of all, no need to say but great tutorial like always:) It is all working just that I don’t have the monetize tab to integrate google adsense. Do I have to sign up with adsense first in order for it to appear or what should I do?
Thanks in advance:)

Hi everybody please help me , i have WordPress site and i have used custom post ( plugin ) so when i create feeds it takes my posts from Word press default posts while i want to see my custom plugin posts in feeds , can you help me ?? please ???
Thanks
WPBeginner Support says
You can try this code in your theme’s functions.php file:
function wpb_custom_rss_feed( $output, $feed ) { if ( strpos( $output, 'comments' ) ) return $output; return esc_url( 'http://www.yoursite.com/feed/?post_type=your_custom_post_type' ); } add_action( 'feed_link', 'wpb_custom_rss_feed', 10, 2 );1-click Use in WordPress
Don’t forget to replace the URL with the URL of your custom post type feed URL.

Rick says
How do you separate feeds by different category posts?
For example, if I have 2 categories: one titled « dogs » and one titled « cats ».
Currently, when a reader subscribes to my feed, it will email them whenever a story is written about a « dog » or a « cat » (the feed includes all category types and all posts on the entire site).
I’d like for the subscribers to only receive (via email) the stories about « dogs » (or a specific category)….how do I set it up this way?
Thanks for the advice, Rick

Hi, wpbeginner. I have a problem trying to sign up for feedburner using my url. I have tried many different url links to sign up but it still says that the url is wrong. I have installed wordpress and i am using Duena template. Can you please help me out to try to figure out what is the problem.
WPBeginner Support says
Try temporarily switching to a default theme like Twenty Twelve and then submit your feed. If it works, then there is something wrong with your theme and you should contact the Theme Author for support.

Appreciate the learning tools you offered. I am on a learning path with WordPress.
Understanding how tools like Feedburner work elude me and hoping you can clarify one particular point.
My beginner site (on a topic I know very little about – but one assigned to me) has several pages with ‘feeds’ related to the site. These change automatically on a regular basis. I believe I have ‘RSS’ feeds setup correctly. However, as those change I am left with ‘dead’ links on the site. The feeds also take a user to an external site without a return to my site.
My thought is using a tool like Feedburner might allow for the updating and keeping visitors on my site.
If it helps, the site is

Hi! Thanks for all of your great content. I’ve found it very helpful so far. I do have a problem with setting up a feed in Feedburner. When in step 1 I type my URL into the box, it simply won’t accept it. I’ve tried all sorts of variations, with /feed/ behind it and so on. Could this be due to the fact that there are no blogposts on my site yet? I wanted to set everything up first, before I started posting blogs…
WPBeginner Support says
you can add a hello world or coming soon post and then test.

Explorista says
Thanks, I tried it with a test post, but still doesn’t work unfortunately
it says: the URL does not seem to reference a valid XML file. Or it simple says it ‘not found’ ‘while fetching source feed.

Hi Syed,
Please, I need your help because nobody know why not register correctly the count I installed on my culinary blog (http://dulceiutesarat.wordpress.com).
The problem is it still register just one subscribe for a long time and I checked registering myself with 3 different gmail addreses but display just one and I think I get from a visitor this one. Don’t work properly.
Have you a suggestion what I have to do?
Maybe a alternative for free count, not from FeedBurner?
Thank you so much for the answer.
WPBeginner Support says
your blog is hosted on WordPress.com please see the difference between Self Hosted WordPress.org vs WordPress.com. However, we think you can still display your feedburner count in a WordPress.com site please contact WordPress.com support.

I didn’t understand why I needed feedburner instead of the plain wordpress rss until I read this. The clincher for me is « Statistics about your RSS Subscribers so you can analyze and optimize your blog posts. »

When you login to your Feedburner, there is a field that says Burn a feed right this instant. Enter your new feed there and follow the process.

Hi. I wonder if you would mind explaining something about Feedburner that has been puzzling me. I’ve spent hours googling for answers and found none.
I used to have my WP blog hosted as a subdomain of one of my other websites, before migrating it to its own dedicated domain. When I log into Feedburner, it seems I still have feeds and subscribers connected to the old sub-domain URL. In fact, in all, I have 3 listed Feedburner feeds showing, all under the title of my blog, and each with different numbers of subscribers.
For each of the 3 listings, the blog title is the same (ie: my blog title), but the ‘original feed’ and ‘feed address’ are different in each case.
Should I should delete the two Feedburner feeds that relate to the old subdomain address, do you think? Would I lose subscribers if I did?
Feedburner is showing that there are still subscribers on those old feeds. Would this be because they are automatically re-directed to the new URL and therefore continue to be able to receive newly posted blog articles through their Feedburner subscriptions?
I’d be most appreciative if you could help me understand what is going on with these 3 feeds, and what to do to reduce them to one, relating to my current blog address but without losing subscribers.
Cheers!
