Aggiornamento: non consigliamo più di utilizzare FeedBurner perché è un prodotto in via di estinzione e pieno di bug. NON SI TRADUCE questo articolo per capire perché non dovreste usare FeedBurner e per conoscere le alternative.
Tutti i blog più importanti usano FeedBurner per masterizzare i loro feed RSS perché è un sistema gratuito e ricco di caratteristiche che non si può mandare giù. FeedBurner fornisce statistiche, opzione di ottimizzazione dei feed, opzione di pubblicazione dei feed e molto altro ancora. L’integrazione di FeedBurner e Google Analytics è un must per ogni blog WordPress. In questo articolo vi mostreremo come configurare i feed del vostro blog WordPress con FeedBurner e come utilizzarlo per portare il vostro blog a un livello superiore.
Perché FeedBurner è importante per i blogger?
FeedBurner è un servizio gratuito ricco di opzioni che non si ottengono con il feed predefinito di WordPress. Alcune delle caratteristiche includono:
- Statistiche su chi siamo, in modo da poter analizzare e ottimizzare gli articoli del blog.
- Offrire agli utenti diverse opzioni per iscriversi, come email e altri lettori di feed (Netvibes, Google, ecc.).
- Prova sociale (conteggio degli abbonati)
- Opzione per personalizzare i feed, come modificare i titoli degli articoli, il branding e altro ancora.
- Opzione per inviare ping a vari servizi di lettura dei feed una volta pubblicati gli articoli.
- Integrazione di Google Adsense per monetizzare i feed RSS.
- E altro ancora…
Basta questo breve elenco di caratteristiche per capire che si tratta di un must per tutti i blog. Ora possiamo passare all’impostazione dell’account FeedBurner.
Impostazione dei feed FeedBurner per WordPress
Per prima cosa è necessario disporre di un account Google (qualsiasi account gmail funziona). Visitate la pagina del servizio FeedBurner per iniziare questa procedura.
Nel primo passo, dovrete digitare il collega al feed del vostro blog WordPress. Se la struttura degli URL di WordPress è orientata alla SEO, il collega del feed dovrebbe essere yourdomain.com/feed/.
Nel secondo passo, sceglierete il titolo del vostro feed e il suo indirizzo. Si consiglia di mantenere il titolo del feed uguale a quello del blog. È meglio mantenere l’indirizzo del feed breve e memorabile.
Tecnicamente i feed sono stati creati, quindi non è più necessario seguire i follower. Fate clic su Salta direttamente alla gestione dei feed.
Verrà visualizzata una pagina con un collegamento a tonnellate di piattaforme di blog. Ignoratele perché le rivedremo più avanti in questo articolo. Cliccate semplicemente sulla scheda Ottimizza che vedete nell’immagine sottostante.
Nel passaggio 5, lavoreremo sull’ottimizzazione del feed del blog WordPress. Dovete assicurarvi di avere attivato l’opzione Browser Friendly, Smart Feed e FeedFlare. Se volete, potete attivare altri servizi, ma questi tre sono indispensabili. BrowserFriendly rende l’iscrizione molto più semplice. SmartFeed garantisce la massima compatibilità con tutte le applicazioni di lettura dei feed. FeedFlare rende interattivi gli articoli aggiungendo la possibilità di condividere le email e altre opzioni.
Nel passo 6, daremo un’occhiata a tutte le opzioni di pubblicizzazione del feed. È necessario consentire gli abbonamenti email sul sito perché ci sono utenti che preferiscono ricevere aggiornamenti via email piuttosto che usare Google reader. Pingshot deve essere attivato perché notifica i servizi quando si inviano articoli. Il widget Feedcount consente di mostrare il numero di abbonati. È uno dei migliori metodi di social proof. L’API di Awareness è utile se state cercando di inserirvi su siti come BuySellAds, perché possono estrarre facilmente il vostro numero di abbonati. Ci sono altre opzioni interessanti come Headline Animator, BuzzBoost che potete attivare se volete.
La monetizzazione del feed è un’altra buona caratteristica di FeedBurner, ma permette di utilizzare solo Google Adsense. Quindi iscrivetevi a Google Adsense e seguite le sue indicazioni.
Una volta eseguiti tutti i passaggi sopra descritti, si può fare clic sulla scheda Analizza. Molto probabilmente vedrete uno schermo come quello qui sotto, perché le statistiche non sono state registrate. Lasciate passare fino a 24 ore e inizierete a vedere i numeri. Utilizzate il numero di iscritti, i click e altri dati utili per migliorare il vostro blog. Scoprite cosa piace e cosa non piace ai vostri utenti con queste statistiche e concentratevi sul tipo di articoli che piacciono ai vostri utenti.
Integrare FeedBurner in WordPress
Anche se avete configurato il vostro feed con FeedBurner nei passaggi precedenti, non lo avete ancora integrato con WordPress. La prima cosa da fare è smettere di diluire il feed e renderlo unico. È necessario creare un reindirizzamento, in modo che quando gli utenti cercano di visitare yourdomain.com/feed/ vengano reindirizzati alla pagina del feed di FeedBurner. In questo modo potrete tenere traccia degli iscritti al vostro blog.
Esiste un plugin chiamato FD FeedBurner che permette di creare facilmente questa reindirizzazione. Potete anche reindirizzare i vostri feed utilizzando un file .htaccess, ma non condivideremo questo metodo perché non lo consigliamo ai principianti.
La maggior parte dei temi di WordPress sono ora dotati di integrazione con FeedBurner, come Headway Theme, Standard Theme e altri. Se il vostro tema non è compatibile, utilizzate il plugin di cui sopra.
Aggiungete il box per l’iscrizione alle email sul vostro sito
Per prima cosa visitate Publicize ” Email Subscriptions e poi copiate e incollate il codice che vi viene fornito nel template file che preferite (per lo più sidebar.php). Per personalizzare l’aspetto del modulo email, è necessario avere una conoscenza preliminare di HTML e CSS.
Se il vostro blog non ha i feed di FeedBurner, procurateveli subito.

Caroline says
Hi – thank you for the information. Question for you, if you don’t mind. I am trying to edit my email format for my subscribers. I changed my feeds to show only the title of the post and 100 words of content, that’s all (before I was sharing the entire blog post with photos, content, etc). I would like for it to show 1 photo from the blog post as well, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do this without having to share the entire post in the email. Are you able to help here?
Thank you so much!

Samual Ross says
Thanks for sharing such great useful info. I have one question my original feed url is which shows some kind of error like “This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 37: Unsupported encoding UTF-7
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” but my Google Feed burner works fine which is:
Can you please tell me what’s wrong with my original feed?
Thanks again.
WPBeginner Support says
It seems like you are using UTF7 as your character encoding. Visit Settings » Reading, if you see Character encoding option on that page, then change it to utf8.
If you do not see it there, then you need to deactivate all your plugins and switch to a default theme. Check your feed, if this resolves the problem then probably one of the plugin or theme is the culprit.
If this does not solve it, then you need to change DB_charset in wp-config.php. Edit your wp-config.php file. if you have define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf7’); then change it to define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); If you have neither of them, then add define( ‘DB_CHARSET’,’utf8′);

Hi there,
I moved my blog from weebly to wordpress and now my feedburner doesn’t work or recognize my RSS Feed address. I’ve been in touch with the WP theme people about the RSS address and my hosting company. No one seems to be helping, so I thought I’d try you.
I also opened up a Mail Chimp account based on reading your related article. That too does not recognized my RSS.
I’m starting to panic and my blog is not being sent to my subscribers. Can you help? I’d be forever grateful.
WPBeginner Support says
We were able to access your RSS feed by simply adding /feed/ at the end of your URL.
http://www.example.com/feed/ Replace example.com with your own domain name and then use that URL in MailChimp.

Hi, i just transferred my blog from blogger to wordpress. I installed a plugin for feedburner subscription. I gets a mail whenever someone subscribes to my website, but when i checked my feedburner email subscription list it doesn’t show any new subscriber..can anyone help me with it?
Mandy says
Hi, I just moved a website from Blogger to WordPress.
Now Feedburner sends out not only the usual daily emails when a new post gets published. It also sends out summary emails every now and then with the last 8 articles in a list.
Feedburner was used on blogger already, so the feed didn’t change, the links are the same like before.
I think somehow FB thinks that all these posts are “new”. Any idea how to stop this?
Thanks!
Mandy

I am a complete newbie in this blogging sphere. I need your help
I have activated the email subscription on feedburner. By mistake I deleted the feed in the beginning. At that time, I was able to see two subscribers. Then I re-activated the feed with the same name. My latest blog post were coming as it is , but no. of email subscriber are zero in feedburner account now. I am using genesis e-news extended plugin for my feedburner.
Aaditya Sharma says
all steps i followed and active feed, but i can not find the option of monetize and awareness api
WPBeginner Staff says
Yes, your feed will still be at the same URL. What you are doing, is displaying your blog posts on a custom page. This does not change the chronological order of your posts or feeds.
Techmaker says
How can I find my feed address? My blog located on
Please help.
WPBeginner Staff says
Your feed address can be found by simply adding feed after your website’s url like this:
http://www.example.com/feed
Techmaker says
You gave me a general answer? I know it. It is in your article too. Thant’s why I sent you my blog URL. You have removed it on my first comment. That is bad. What I really want to know is my site is wordpress. But my blog is a page, but getting all the updates. I can’t even explain it. May be you can. This is where my blog is

Lietissimo says
I am confused. You start your article with “We no longer recommend using FeedBurner because it’s a dying product full of bugs.” Then you finish with saying”If your blog does not have FeedBurner feeds, then get it right now.”
Which one?

My feedburner feed only publishes my podcasts posts but not my blog posts. What will happen if I change my original feed to allow both to be published? Remove the /category/podcast from original feed? Thanks
WPBeginner Staff says
Then your users will get all your posts. However, you should consider that many of them may have signed up just for your podcast and they may not like receiving posts they didn’t sign up for.,
Troy Vayanos says
Hello,
I have an existing feed set up and am trying to set up a second one for a new website. In ‘my feeds’ when I type in the new domain name in ‘burn a feed right this instant’ I get the following message. The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 153: The string “–” is not permitted within comments.
Is this because I have a new website where the wordpress theme is not set up yet and I only purchased the domain 24hrs ago?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
WPBeginner Support says
If you have not installed WordPress on your new site yet, then feedburner will not be able to find a feed.

Barry, Pages in WordPress do not appear in RSS feeds. Are you sure your pages are appearing in the feed? Are you using some plugin that adds pages or other custom post types into your main feed?

WPBeginner Support says
Open the main page of your website and view its source. You will find your rss feed url on a line like this:
1-click Use in WordPress
Note that this link could be different, or may not be there. For example, people using WordPress SEO plugin sometimes accidentally turn off their RSS feeds. Try deactivating all your plugins and then reactivate them one by one, check your feed each time.
