delicious widget not working
-
since delicious made changes to its website my widget is not working anymore. it it only showing the link to my delicious page, but it’s not showing the links in my blog as it used to. How can i solve this problem? Should i just give the delicious team sometime and they’ll just fix it automatically? i take this is not only a problem i am having since other blogs that used to have the widget do not show links anymore.
Thanks in advace
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you referring to the RSS widget provided by WordPress.com here > Appearance > Widgets? If so then it cannot operate unless or until Delicious which has now changed hands provides a fully operational feed URL for you to place into the widget. See their support pages please. http://deliciousengineering.blogspot.com/

There is a Delicious widget offered by WordPress.com. It’s not working at present, although the Delicious engineers state they have fixed the bug on their end.
My blog also uses the Delicious widget, but it’s not functioning properly.

Same problem here with the Delicious widget: no feed reaching WP blogs. I have informed both WP Support and Delicious Support. But there is no response.

This looks like it works:
Use an RSS widget and insert this as the feed url: http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/yourdeliciousname -
The greater problem is that WP engineers have so far refused to help with the Delicious widget problem. Apparently they cannot come to an arrangement with Delicious engineers on the feed to the designated widget and it is the users who are suffering. The Delicious widget will probably be removed completely at one point.
Archizoo, your RSS feed will work but not for those of us who have our Delicious account connected to more than one WP account. The advantage of the Delicious widget was that the links saved on a Delicious account could be sorted between the various different WP accounts.
It is not fair at all to WP user members to keep them in the dark about the non-functioning of the Delicious widget.

A WP engineer has just informed me that, “The Delicious widget is currently broken due to some changes in the URL structure on Delicious’ end. We’re aware of this and are working on finding a fix for it. Thanks for the patience and sorry for the delay.”
Thank you WP for finally informing us about the nature of the problem. We look forward to the fixing of the widget.

Good to know that im not crazy. Was just setting up my Delicious widget today and was testing. Could not figure out what was going on as the RSS widget was working.
My question is, other than filtering by tag, do I even need the Delicious specific widget?
Not the best formatting but regular RSS could work.

The Delicious widget is not going to be fixed very soon if at all. WordPress and Delicious are blaming each other for not doing the needful. Users should forget the Delicious widget and make custom menus for their links instead instead.

@bharatabharati, do you have an example of making custom menus for links?

You can create a custom menu and include custom links in it. Here’s a link to a custom menu walk-through in case you need it. -
