Social counter widget

Today I released new social widget for WordPress. This widget will display your RSS subscribers, Twitter followers and Facebook fans in one nice looking box. Take a look at the screenshot bellow.

To install:

Drop the ‘social-counter-widget’ folder into your ‘wp-content/plugins’ folder
Go to your Administration: Plugins page and activate the “Social Counter Widget”

To configure:

Go to Appearance: Widgets
Move (drag and drop) the widget to your desired location in the active sidebar.
Enter Full Facebook URL, Twitter ID and Full Feedburner URL and save changes.

Download Social counter widget (114)

  You have to enter just your twitter ID instead of full URL this time.

What if you only have two of the three? I don’t use FB. Can I just show RSS and Twitter?

  Yes, just leave the field empty

I installed and enabled the Social Counter Widget plugin, and put “IAMSpirituality” in the Facebook URL tab, which is my fanpage URL, and the widget is showing 0 likes (when there are actually 1252). Am I doing something wrong?

  You have to enter FULL URL

Is there a way to use it in multiple widgets, but only one at a time? Such as if there is a widgetized footer with three widget areas, use one for Facebook, one for Twitter, then the other for RSS?

The Facebook counter does not work, no matter what URL I use. HTTP or HTTPS, full URL, info URL, nothing. Everything else works, but I can’t get your plugin to work with Facebook. My URL works with other Facebook plugins though.

I have the same problem with Ethan. Full page facebook url does not work. It always shows 0 followers.

Is there a way I can remove the feedburner code from the social-counter-widget.php and add Google +1 instead?

  I’m with @Moebis. Can you replace one of them with Google Plus instead?

Also having the same trouble with Facebook counter on the widget, it is not showing any likes when the page does have some. Full URL does not work? Thanks.

Well up until last week everything was working with the last update, but now my twitter counters is back to saying 0, it used to display the correct number. Yes I do have just the twitter name in the box, not the full url. (again it was working exactly as is up until very recently).

Can you suggest some other fixes?

Thank you, Csaba Kissi, for updating the plugin. You fixed the problem of facebook. But RSS is broken. The number of RSS subscribers is always 0. Could you fix it?

Hi Csaba Kissi

Does your plugin support template shortcode as I wish to display it else where.

Thanks!

I activated this plugin but it shows me 0 for google feed URL. What is wrong?
Reply Garry . March 30, 2012 .

I’m also having an issue with the RSS feed always showing 0. I’ve double checked and put the correct full url in but no joy.

Could you help?
Reply Dubstep . April 3, 2012 .

when I added the widget, it caused fatal errors.
Reply Kundan SIngh . April 20, 2012 .

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SC_widget in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\social-counter-widget\social-counter-widget.php on line 103

I hope you will solve this error soon Thank you in Advance
