RSS Redirect & Feedburner Alternative

July 17, 2024

RSS Redirect & Feedburner Alternative Plugin

Free Feedburner Alternative and RSS Redirect plugin from follow.it.

Try it out on your free dummy site: Click here => https://tastewp.com/plugins/feedburner-alternative-and-rss-redirect.
(this trick works for all plugins in the WP repo – just replace “wordpress” with “tastewp” in the URL)

This plugin allows you to easily switch from Feedburner to the FREE (on the basic plan) and better Feedburner alternative follow.it.

Read more why follow.it is the better Feedburner alternative.

The plugin is very easy to use:

  • Step 1: Download, install & activate it
  • Step 2: Click on “Apply redirect” for all feeds you want to redirect (most likely your main feed, as well as some comments & author feeds you may have)
  • Step 3: Connect it to a follow.it account to get access to your subscribers, see statistics etc. (see screenshots)

Once the redirect is active, your RSS-url will redirect to your new feed page where users can subscribe to your feed.

If you had former Feedburner subscribers, follow the steps as prompted in the plugin to move them over to your new feed (RSS as well as Email subscribers).

If something is not working in the Feedburner alternative plugin, please post a question in the support forum. Thank you!
