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 here
I activated the plugin and i am only using the Twitter counter but it does not show my followers. It reads 0. Can you please help me figure this out? thank you
You have to enter just your twitter ID instead of full URL this time.
I have the same problem.
I entered my Twitter ID and the counter says 0
I have the latest update of your plugin.
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.
Ok, thank you, I’ll try to discover whats wrong.
I activated the plugin and i am only using the facebook counter but it does not show my likes and at first when reload the page i confront with this error :
Warning:file_get_contents(http://graph.facebook.com/wptutsplus) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in D:xampphtdocsprojectphysicswp-contentpluginssocial-counter-widgetscw_stats.class.php on line 29
Am I doing something wrong?
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.
Updated version is available on wordpress.org. I fixed the issue and it should work now.
Same issue… downloaded and installed from WP. Looks great BTW… RSS works…Twitter works… Facebook does not. The link works and takes you to the page.. but the number of likes does not register.
All works now. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
I deleted the plugin, installed the latest version from WordPress…
No go… RSS and Facebook doesn’t show?
Any ideas?

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?

Rss dont count on my wesite.
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?
Same problem here RSS is broken.
by the way Thank you for this plugin
Hi Csaba Kissi
Does your plugin support template shortcode as I wish to display it else where.
Thanks!
I am having trouble displaying the RSS, I input the full url of the the rss which is http://feeds.feedburner.com/maritzalive/feed which has 3 subscribers, it shows as 0 on http://www.maritzalive.com/news
RSS is still broken 🙁
I downloaded the most recent version of social counter widget, and input my full Facebook URL, but the count still says “0” How do I fix this?
I activated this plugin but it shows me 0 for google feed URL. What is wrong?
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?
when I added the widget, it caused fatal errors.
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SC_widget in C:xampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginssocial-counter-widgetsocial-counter-widget.php on line 103

is it possible to have a tumblr follows?
Hi, Nice plugin! I made a few changes in layout but Great Work! Can you tell me why the facebook counter isn’t updating the Facebook likes? The URL is correct. When I remove the facebookpagelink in the widget-> SAVE and after that, place the URL back in the widget, is is updating… but only once… and not automatically…
I’m also having no luck with getting the RSS feed subscriber number to appear.
I think there is not working anymore. Are there any working alternatives?
Hey! I love the plugin. I have been using it for a while for Twitter and Facebook. I am just now getting the RSS up and running on my site, but when I add the URL to the widget, it loads a tiny little smiley face where the widget would be, and everything else underneath it is gone…
Any thoughts?

I Really love this plugin but it keeps on turning the “0” Followers for both Facebook and Twitter, Is there any solution for this?
Just wanted to let you know what the Twitter followers sometimes shows the correct count, but most of the time it displays “0”.
Any recommendations? I’ve deactivated the plugin and removed my Twitter handle from the SCW options.
thanks,
Sean
I entered my twitter and facebook ids but the fb one doesn’t work. (i entered the ID not the name, i mean 596316637045143) Any solutions? Waitin’ for answers asap.
So I installed this plugin yesterday, and it worked great right off the bat, very happy with it. Until this morning… twitter is now down to 0. How do I fix this, I am using the ID like I am supposed to.
twitter change the api from 1.0 to 1.1….. at this time Social Counter Widget won`t work. any update ????
george
Twitter changed their API. In order to get the count you will have to navigate your way to /wp-content/plugins/social-counter-widget/scw_stats.class.php
and on lines 22 or 23 change the query and result to something like this
$query = ‘https://twitter.com/users/’.$arr[‘twitterName’].’.json?callback=?’;
$result = json_decode(substr(file_get_contents($query),1,-2));
I installed that plugin .And when I write the all correct information and release my page, there is nothing shown.The problem is I dont see anything about your plugin in main page.(Yes I added the plugin to my rightside) And when I delete rss link it shown but twitter follower 0..
Please can you help me from mail?
twitter is showing 0…
