Update: Wir empfehlen die Verwendung von FeedBurner nicht mehr, da es ein sterbendes Produkt voller Fehler ist. Bitte lesen Sie diesen Artikel, um zu erfahren, warum Sie FeedBurner nicht verwenden sollten, und um sich über die Alternativen zu informieren.
Jeder große Blog verwendet FeedBurner, um seine RSS-Feeds zu brennen, weil es ein kostenloses System mit vielen Funktionen ist, das Sie nicht ablehnen können. FeedBurner bietet Statistiken, Feed-Optimierungsoptionen, Feed-Veröffentlichungsoptionen und vieles mehr. Die Integration von FeedBurner und Google Analytics ist ein Muss für jeden WordPress-Blog. In diesem Artikel zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Sie Ihre WordPress-Blog-Feeds mit FeedBurner einrichten und damit Ihren Blog auf die nächste Stufe heben können.
Warum ist FeedBurner für Blogger wichtig?
FeedBurner ist ein kostenloser Dienst, der viele Optionen bietet, die Sie mit dem Standard-WordPress-Feed nicht erhalten. Einige der Funktionen umfassen:
- Statistiken über Ihre RSS-Abonnenten, damit Sie Ihre Blogbeiträge analysieren und optimieren können.
- Bieten Sie Ihren Nutzern mehrere Optionen zum Abonnieren an, z. B. E-Mail und andere Feed-Reader (Netvibes, Google usw.).
- Social Proof (Anzahl der Abonnenten)
- Option zur Anpassung Ihrer Feeds, z. B. Änderung der Überschriften, des Brandings und mehr.
- Option, verschiedene Feed-Lesedienste zu pingen, sobald Sie Ihre Beiträge veröffentlichen.
- Integrieren Sie Google Adsense, um Ihre RSS-Feeds zu monetarisieren.
- Und mehr…
Allein diese kurze Liste von Funktionen zeigt, dass FeedBurner ein Muss für alle Blogs ist. Jetzt können wir mit der Einrichtung des FeedBurner-Kontos beginnen.
Einrichten Ihres FeedBurner für WordPress-Feeds
Zunächst benötigen Sie ein Google-Konto (jedes Google Mail-Konto ist geeignet). Besuchen Sie die Feedburner-Service-Seite, um diesen Prozess zu beginnen.
Im ersten Schritt geben Sie den Link zu Ihrem WordPress-Blog-Feed ein. Wenn Sie eine SEO-freundliche WordPress-URL-Struktur haben, dann sollte Ihr Feed-Link wie yourdomain.com/feed/
In Schritt 2 wählen Sie den Titel Ihres Feeds und die Adresse Ihres Feeds. Es ist ratsam, den Titel Ihres Feeds gleich zu halten wie den Ihres Blogs. Am besten ist es, die Adresse Ihres Feeds kurz und einprägsam zu halten.
Technisch gesehen sind Ihre Feeds bereits erstellt, so dass Sie diese Schritte nicht mehr ausführen müssen. Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche Direkt zur Feed-Verwaltung springen.
Sie werden eine Seite mit einem Link zu einer Vielzahl von Blogging-Plattformen sehen. Ignorieren Sie das alles, da wir später in diesem Artikel darauf zurückkommen werden. Klicken Sie einfach auf die Registerkarte „Optimieren“, die Sie auf dem Bild unten sehen.
In Schritt 5 werden wir an der Optimierung Ihres WordPress Blog Feeds arbeiten. Sie müssen sicherstellen, dass Sie die Option Browserfreundlich aktiviert haben, Smart Feed aktiviert haben und FeedFlare aktiviert haben. Sie können auch andere Dienste aktivieren, wenn Sie wollen, aber diese 3 Dienste sind ein Muss. BrowserFriendly macht das Abonnieren viel einfacher. SmartFeed gewährleistet maximale Kompatibilität mit allen Feed-Reader-Anwendungen. FeedFlare erhöht die Interaktivität von Beiträgen durch Hinzufügen von E-Mail- und anderen Freigabeoptionen.
In Schritt 6 werden wir uns alle Optionen für die Veröffentlichung des Feeds ansehen. Sie müssen E-Mail-Abonnements auf Ihrer Website zulassen, da es Nutzer gibt, die lieber E-Mail-Updates erhalten, als Google Reader zu verwenden. Pingshot muss aktiviert sein, da es Dienste benachrichtigt, wenn Sie etwas veröffentlichen. Mit dem Feedcount-Widget können Sie die Anzahl Ihrer Abonnenten anzeigen. Es ist eine der besten Methoden für den sozialen Nachweis. Awareness API ist praktisch, wenn Sie versuchen, sich auf Websites wie BuySellAds aufzulisten, da diese Ihre Abonnentenzahl leicht extrahieren können. Es gibt weitere schicke Optionen wie Headline Animator und BuzzBoost, die Sie aktivieren können, wenn Sie möchten.
Die Monetarisierung Ihres Feeds ist eine weitere gute Funktion von FeedBurner, außer dass es Ihnen nur erlaubt, Google Adsense zu verwenden. Melden Sie sich also bei Google Adsense an und folgen Sie deren Anweisungen.
Sobald Sie alle oben genannten Schritte durchgeführt haben, können Sie auf die Registerkarte „Analysieren“ klicken. Höchstwahrscheinlich werden Sie einen Bildschirm wie den unten abgebildeten sehen, da die Statistiken nicht aufgezeichnet werden. Warten Sie bis zu 24 Stunden, dann werden Sie die ersten Zahlen sehen. Nutzen Sie die Anzahl der Abonnenten, Klicks und andere nützliche Daten, um Ihren Blog zu verbessern. Mit dieser Statistik können Sie herausfinden, was Ihren Nutzern gefällt und was nicht, und sich dann auf die Art von Beiträgen konzentrieren, die Ihre Nutzer mögen und genießen.
Integrieren Sie FeedBurner in WordPress
Auch wenn Sie Ihren Feed mit FeedBurner in den obigen Schritten eingerichtet haben, haben Sie ihn noch nicht wirklich in WordPress integriert. Das erste, was Sie tun müssen, ist, Ihren Feed nicht mehr zu verwässern, sondern ihn zu einem einzigen zu machen. Sie müssen eine Umleitung einrichten, so dass Benutzer, die versuchen, yourdomain.com/feed/ zu besuchen, auf Ihre Feedburner-Feed-Seite umgeleitet werden. Auf diese Weise können Sie die Abonnenten Ihres Blogs im Auge behalten.
Es gibt ein Plugin namens FD FeedBurner, mit dem Sie diese Umleitung leicht erstellen können. Sie können Ihre Feeds auch über eine .htaccess-Datei umleiten, aber wir werden diese Methode nicht weitergeben, da sie für Anfänger nicht zu empfehlen ist.
Die meisten WordPress-Themes verfügen mittlerweile über eine FeedBurner-Integration, wie z. B. das Headway Theme, das Standard Theme und andere. Wenn Ihr Theme nicht kompatibel ist, dann verwenden Sie das oben genannte Plugin.
Fügen Sie die E-Mail-Abonnement-Box auf Ihrer Website hinzu
Besuchen Sie zunächst Publicize “ Email Subscriptions und fügen Sie den Code, den Sie dort erhalten, in die gewünschte Vorlagendatei ein (meist sidebar.php). Denken Sie daran, dass Sie HTML- und CSS-Kenntnisse benötigen, um das Aussehen Ihres E-Mail-Formulars anzupassen.
Wenn Ihr Blog nicht über FeedBurner-Feeds verfügt, sollten Sie sich diese jetzt besorgen.

Hi… thanks for this nice tutor. How long it takes feedburner send a new post url on twitter?
yourwebchick
Loved this post.. went through the whole thing super fast with your fantastic instructions.. then went to my blog to set it up in the side bar.. it asks for my code which was tricky to find but finally did BUT it says it’s not set up to do email subscriptions …. and I clicked that button in the setup? Any ideas what might be going wrong? it’s http://DenverBucketList.com
wpbeginner
@yourwebchick You need to make sure that you actually activate the email subscription.
yourwebchick
It suddenly seems to be working so either I was putting the wrong code in or it just needed a little more time.. I have a tendency to rush things! Have you played with the Beta interface yet?
yourwebchick
I had no idea by the way that I could have my feed tweet out with #Hashtags… That ROCKS my world… Thank you again for this fantastic Tutorial!! @JustAskChrissy recommended!

Looks like a strange Feedburner mess has started for those of us that use a permanent SSL redirect. Do you know a way to create a file that just dumps the feed content without a rewrite redirect such that I can keep that part non-SSL?

@RafaelTrabasso Because this post was written under Beginners Guide, we tried to avoid any code snippets. We have covered what you are looking for in this article:https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/25-extremely-useful-tricks-for-the-wordpress-functions-file/ Tip #21 lets you redirect your normal feeds to Feedburner feed.
RafaelTrabasso
@wpbeginner you missed my point – as a theme designer i was looking for a way to redirect the feeds to feedburner WITHOUT a plugin so this would not be a potential problem with future customers.
so the long title for this article would be „learn how to set up a feedburner account then learn how to install a plugin to redirect your feeds to feedburner“.
wpbeginner
@RafaelTrabasso Actually that is pretty great. WordPress makes everything SIMPLE… We showed you exactly how to setup your feed with feedburner. Then all you have to do is redirect your main WordPress feed to feedburner just in case if someone types in: yourblog.com/feed/ they go to the feedburner feed, so you get full stats.
RafaelTrabasso
well so the tutorial for integrating Feedburner with Wordpress, excluding the part of setting up the Feed, is: use a plugin.
(not) great.

I just want to say thanks.. This has help me setup my feedburner feed. I really appreciate your great knowledge in Wordpress and many other things. If I have a question, now I know where I have to come to find the answer. Super Excellent guidance!!!

wpbeginner
@impukax Go to Settings > Reading in your WordPress blog and select Summary instead of Full post to show in feeds.

I want my full posts to show in the feed reader, and just modified the Settings > Reading to do that. Will that change affect previous posts or just new posts?
wpbeginner
@DTL8791 it will change all posts

Is there anyway to customize the feed for just post the title and exceprt only? currently in my feedburner it’s showing full post and there was no excerpt.

Can’t get feedburner to work. Able to subscribe for email notice, but when send out new post, I don’t get any notice. I find this message in site admin. of my blog: RSS Error: A feed could not be found at http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:http://jadesauce.com/blog/
What’s wrong?
Should I install FeedburnerFeedSmith or John Watson FD Feedburner for a Wordpress blog 3.1 version hosted by ipower? Not sure which one I should use.
Nick
Perhaps I am looking for something that does not exist, and I’m trying to either confirm or access what I am trying to do through here…so any help would be really beneficial. I have a self supported wordpress on my own FTP server where my website is. I also have a twitter feed, facebook fan page, and a linkin account. I want to streamline my feeds completely through Hootsuite (and my clients SMO), but Hootsuite doesn’t interact with self supported Wordpress blogs……only wordpress hosted blogs. Although, Hootsuite will allow me to submit a RSS feed that can check for new blog posts every so often, and I can set up which social media platforms I want the feed to go once it finds the feed or blog I’ve posted. Basically, I want to to post updates, advertisements, my portfolio, and share marketing advice through my wordpress blog. Then I want that blog to be broadcasted over every other social media platform I have….automatically streamlined. I would use twitter feed but I have clients of mine that I will need to manage their SMO the exact same way. Just makes it easier for me to keep up with everything. When I supply the feed link as:
http://www.nickfrontieroproductions.com/blog/
OR
feed://www.nickfrontieroproductions.com/blog/feed/
Hootsuite will not accept the feed. Will feedburner allow me to create a feed in which Hootsuite will accept?
Is what I am doing even possible?
I really appreciate any and all help or understanding with this. Been racking my brain for like a week on this one!
Editorial Staff
Automating social media is probably the worse thing you can do for your business. However, if you do choose to go that route, it is possible. There are several plugins for WordPress that lets you publish your recent posts to Twitter as soon as they are published.

how can you get feed burner to show the author of the post. It is assigned in wordpress but the rss doesnt display author name in the feed just title, then content.
Any ideas?

Hi I have feedburner attached to my new wordpress ecommerce website. I had it from ages ago when the site was under construction. It’s feed address is set at this URL http://www.cheekysuds.co.uk Should it really be set at http://www.cheekysuds.co.uk/blog?
Please don’t laugh at me if it is a silly question but I am not sure. I subscribed to the site myself and posted a blog earlier but didn’t get an email from it. I have now taken the post off. I would be grateful of any help.
Editorial Staff
Well, if your main installation is xxx.com << then the feed will be xxx.com/feed/ … if you are running two separate installs, then you can have the feed on xxx.com/blog/feed/
It depends on where you need the feed to be.
Admin
Chloe
Hi, what do you mean by separate install? I bought a web theme and the blog is attached. I guess this means it isn’t separate and the feed should be kept where it is? I know my site has feeds on it as the blue rss feed box comes up in the URL when you go to my website. Thanks for
your help so far. I appreciate it and Happy Easter!!
Azhar Kamar
Thanks! This has helped me in using FeedBurner for WordPress.
Jo Rae
Loved this article! One question. After setting this up and connecting the feed to Wordpress is it supposed to send out the email every time I post a new post by itself or do I have to burn a feed myself each time and insert the address into Wordpress? I can’t seem to get feeds to go out consistently.
Thanks for any advice you can give!
Jo Rae
Editorial Staff
FeedBurner would send out an email everytime you publish an article. However we have heard recent complains about them not doing it consistently.
Admin
Pieter Hartsook
I’m finding that Feedburner is unreliable getting the latest post and especially delivering via email for one of my sites. It will work fine for several weeks (average 2 posts/week) then fail.
A really strange issue is feedburner adding the latest post to the feed, visible on the Your Feed view and looking at the feed in an rss reader, but just not bothering to send out the email to subscribers, even a day later.
I ping, resync, change the feed source from rss to atom and back, change the delivery time and eventually the Feedburner will trigger and send out the email. But there doesn’t seem to be any consistent way to fix the no delivery problem.
It’s so frustrating I’m looking for a reliable alternative. What kills me is there is zero, nada, absolutely NO SUPPORT from Google for this service. Google really doesn’t seem to care about Feedburner. They bought it and seem to be hell-bent on destroying it.
Too bad, it had great potential.
Editorial Staff
We use it on our site, and it seems to be working fine. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any support in your case.

Having problems burning my feed. I get the error message;
„Your feed filesize is larger than 576K. You need to reduce its size in order for FeedBurner to process it.“
I have reduced the number of posts in the ‚Reading‘ section on Wordpress to 5 and also validated the blog through Feedburner but I still can’t get past this stage.
This is a new blog and has not got much content on it so surely it can’t be that big!
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Julie

if any of you having problems with your feed just replace the wp-rss2.php with new one

I had a problem getting Fedburner to burn a feed. After spending several hours trying to get it to work I finally figured out what the problem was.
The problem—-
We have a self hosted WordPress blog that is a duplicate theme of another blog we have. The original blog has a feedburner feed that works without a problem (whenever we post an entry appears in the
feed).
I created a second feed for the second site and things seemed to work without a problem. We were getting close to cutting the second site over and we needed to clear the test items out of the feed. We could not clear the these items out of the feed even after we deleted all blog entries and did a resync with feedburner (under troubleshooting).
So I decided to delete the feed and tried to burn a new one. The burn failed because the validator indicated that it can not find the feed (error 404).
Prior to the deletion of the feed we upgraded to the latest version of wordpress (3.0.3) but the feed continued to work after that. The only problem was that we could not remove the test items from the feed.
The solution—
It appears that feedburner will not burn a feed for wordpress unless there are published items in the blog. Sort of a catch 22. Once I published one entry in the blog Feedburner was able to burn the feed.
I don’t know if this is a new issue or was always like this but I thought I would post this here in case someone else runs into this problem.

Excellent post, thanks! I need to spend this weekend optimising my blog so will be using your advice to improve it. Cheers!
David Radovanovic
Thanks for sharing. Your article clarified some issues I was having with feedburner.
Jo
Thank you, thank you soooo much for this step-by-step guide!
I have successfully completed all of the above steps, including activating the Feedsmith plugin, do I still need to add a „Feedburner ID“ in the widgets, on my primary sidebar; on the enews section and copy and paste it into the box that says „Feedburner ID“
Im using the Genesis Framework Lifestyles theme.
Oh, and thanks again!
Editorial Staff
If you have the widget active, then yes you should enter your feedburner ID in the widget.
Admin
Deirdre
I’m on step 5. When I go to Publicize, it asks me about a Widget and Wordpress in not an option.
Paul
I appreciate the article, but I missed something. Can the RSS feed be like http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/feed/ or how is the directory setup? Or does it matter? Thanks.
Editorial Staff
The feed is determined by where your blog is installed. So if your blog is installed in yourdomain.com/username/blog/ then your URL would be yourdomain.com/username/blog/feed/ … if your blog is installed in the root directory then it will be yourdomain.com/feed/
It all depends on where you want the blog installed.

The FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin worked for me when I initially installed it, and continues to work on that install even as I upgrade WP. However, it has not worked for me on new installs, so I use John Watson’s FD Feedburner Plugin when I do a new WP setup with FeedBurner.
Evgeni Yordanov
Do I like this article? I love it! This is exactly what I needed to get my RSS out there

When I enter viking.twolaneroads.com/feed/ into the „Burn a feed this instant“, when I hit the „Next“ button and it tells me that a valid feed isn’t available.
When I click „Confirm validity“ I go to a page with this line highlighted in yellow:
That’s it. No feed. Nada. It won’t accept the feed.

i’m trying to do this tutorial but when i type my feed into feedburner it comes up with this message:
„an error occurred connecting to the URL: Error getting URL: 404 – null“
and when i try to check if my feed is valid it tells me it is not. i’m using the custom permalink i found on this tutorial:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/seo-friendly-url-structure-for-wordpress/
anyone might know what the issue could be?!?!

The email subscription to feeds is popular on the multi-author blog I’m part of, but subscribers complain that they can’t see who wrote the post in the email: only in a feed reader or on the site. I can’t seem to figure out how to include the author field in the email subscription. Is this possible? Thank you!

You can modify the RSS Feed and add who wrote it and author bio using a custom field. Use our site’s search feature to find the article.

To keep the content related and targetted, we avoid talking about topics like: blogging, blog marketing, blog monetization, how to make your blog successful etc. WPBeginner focuses on the technical aspects of WordPress and how it relates with blogging rather than non-technical aspects such as social media, affiliate marketing, blog promotion etc.

Thanks for writing this — you have stuff that I didn’t know about. I had no clue about FeedFlare.
I’m curious about why you recommend FeedBurner FeedSmith as the WordPress plugin to use. It hasn’t been upgraded for a long time. I use the FD Feedburner Plugin.
Editorial Staff
It doesn’t need upgrading… It is also the official plugin for Google FeedBurner.

I’m having an issue with the email subscription…when the feed emails out, it only emails portion of the post without having any „read“ more or anything…I’d like for it to send the entire post not just the portion…what do I need to do for it to send out the entire post?
