FeedBurner side bar plugin

Hello,
I've installed the side bar plugin for feedburner.
The plugin wants a numeric FeedBurner ID but I can't find this information in my FeedBurner account. Any tips?
The hint from the plugin configuration "Numeric ID - Can be found in the example code for the email subscribe option." seems not to help. I've looked into the provided code for email subscription but there is no numeric ID only the name of my feed.
Some help getting this working would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
NF

I do not think it is necessarily numeric. Feedburner feeds typically look like
http://feeds.feedburner.com/YOURFEED
Try entering the value of YOURFEED.

Hi,
I've tried this before.
The side bar element is still showing "Numeric Feedburner ID Required!"
Regards

ok, I installed the plugin to have a look. The numeric ID you speak of, I presume is this:
Feed ID
Numeric ID - Can be found in the example code for the email subscribe option.
As it says, this is for an email subscription. Migrate to that page in your feedburner account... I think it is under the "Publicize" tab.

Hi,
because of this hint I've looked already there.
This is the code I've got:
Code: Select all
<form style="border:1px solid #ccc;padding:3px;text-align:center;" action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=Nerdzone-Blog', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"><p>Enter your email address:</p><p><input type="text" style="width:140px" name="email"/></p><input type="hidden" value="Nerdzone-Blog" name="uri"/><input type="hidden" name="loc" value="de_DE"/><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" /><p>Delivered by <a href="http://feedburner.google.com" target="_blank">FeedBurner</a></p></form>
Can't find a numeric ID here only the name of my Feed "NerdZone-Blog" but entering this leads to the same behaviour as mentioned above.
Then I had a look at my adressbar an realized that there is alway a longer alphanumerical ID an tried it, same message.

Argh!!!!!! I checked my own, and the email feed is numeric, but it was still sitting at the original feedburner.com site. I was prompted to move it to google, which I just did.... but now the email feed is no longer numeric.
The plugin needs to be updated to reflect the new feedburner links and methodology under google. Meanwhile, deactivate the plugin - drag it to the hidden column for now.
Inistall a new sidebar plugin - the HTML Nugget plugin. Paste that form code directly into this plugin. There will be an option for "Perform Markup Transformations". Set that to No.
Give that a shot.

Glad to hear that worked... ultimately, its doing what the feedburner plugin is doing.
