[Plugin: Total Social Counter] Feedburner subscribers not counted

    Hi, I’m using your plugin for a while now and most of the time it works very well. Sometimes the feedburner subscribers aren’t counted though. I can’t really reproduce this error. One day everything is fine, the next day it shows only the twitter count. Facebook never worked for me at all.

    In the past, it worked when I deleted the feedburner url, put it back in and saved the widget during the process a few times. But right now nothing seems to help.

    Any ideas?

    Ok, I think it has somehow to do with feedburner. The problem is here again for almost 2 days now. I tested a local wordpress installation as well as another plugin. My feedburner subscriber count is not shown anywhere as of now.

    Just to let everybody know who is looking into this kind of problem too, the fault is with feedburner itself. I quickly learned that after a bit of research. The solution i came up with for my case is a hardcoded subscriber count if the actual subscriber count by feedburner comes out as 0. Not quite beautiful, but it works. You have to change the value once in a while accordingly to your updated subscriber count though.

    In subscriber_stats_class.php my generate() function now looks like this:

    public function generate(){
    if($this->rss == ‘0’)
    { $this->rss = ‘219’; }
    $total = number_format($this->rss+$this->twitter+$this->facebook);

    …

    Hope this might help somebody. I thought I’d post this real quick since support for this plugin seems to be dead and gone.
