Code in text widget for RSS feed disappears when saving
-
I have succeeded to put an RSS feed widget in the side bar of my first blog. But for some mysterious reason I don’t succeed in doing the same for my second blog. The systeem keeps throwing the code out of the text widget when I try to save it and it’s getting worse. At first, only the code for the image disappeared. The link to the feed appeared and was working. At my last attempts however nearly all the code disappeared. So now there’s no image (except for the irritating X) and no link either. I have tried several times to follow the steps from the FAQ-section “Put a feed in your sidebar”, so I suppose I am not using any code that’s not accepted by the system. I’m tired of browsing the Help-sections and the forums. Can anyone help?

To put a feed in your sidebar, one uses the RSS FEED widget. There is no where to put images, just a place to put the RSS FEED and another slot to title the feed what you wish.

Hm. I’m afraid this doesn’t help me any further. As I understand it, you use the RSS feed widget to put feeds from other people’s blogs in your side bar. But I want a link to my own feed in the side bar, so other people can subscribe. According to the FAQ (http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/put-your-feed-in-your-sidebar/), you have to use a text widget to do that and then add the code for the link AND the image of the feed icon. But it doesn’t work, at least not in my second blog. It did in the first however. So I’m totally puzzled.

OHHHHH!!!! I didn’t know you were putting a feed for people to subscribe! LOL Do you have a link for your blog, so we can look and further help you?

You dont’ have to use the text widget.
I use the RSS widget, which has the button built in. I just put my OWN feed URL in there instead of a different one.

Thanks for the tip raincoaster. It’s not exactly what I’m looking for, but it’s a nice intermediate solution. I suppose I can’t get rid of the items appearing beneath the feed title?

It lets you choose how many feeds are listed under title. You could try entering Zero as an option, and see if it works.

I have managed to get it exactly the way I want it to look, thanks to this tip:
