There are 2 versions of this plugin available. A premium version and a free version.
Premium Version
The premium version of this plugin allows you to quickly and easily make any number of configuration changes.
On its easy-to-use settings page, you can change the text that appears and also change where throughout your blog you want it to show. For added appeal, you can easily use an image instead of text, too. Maybe you don’t want it to appear on your category pages. Easy! Just uncheck that setting. Same with all the other ones, too.
This plugin is now available for purchase online for $25. It will be sent to you electronically immediately after you purchase it.
Why isn’t it free? It is a highly customized solution. It took a long time to develop and you’re also paying for my time.

Demos in Use
Chris Bloczynski made it into a very nice looking graphic at the bottom of each of his posts.
Are you using the plugin in a creative way? Let me know!
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best! I installed this plugin with great ease, and look forward to seeing an increase in subscribers soon. Thanks!
One thing I would add to this plugin – an options page to let the blog owner select the feed he wants his readers to subscribe to, especially for those of us who port our feeds through FeedBurner. I had to hack the code to change this. Otherwise, a sharp and easy plugin.
Trevor,
Wow, great simple plugin, it will make it on my next top 10 wordpress plugin list! Just a couple of quick tips that other users may consider with it. I added a “your comments welcome” to it via the text, as this is something that also needs reminding and is VERY simple to do with the way you wrote the code!
I also changed the URL to point to my feedpass link (very helpful in explaining what rss is to folks), which links to my feedburner link. You can see this on any post on my site if you are interested.
Again Thanks!

Trevor,
This is great! The only issue that I’m having is that the “subcribe language” is showing after my social bookmarking buttons. I’d like it to immediately follow the post.
Can you provide any feedback?
Thanks!
Brendan – You can change the placement of it by editing the very last line where it says “add_filter(‘the_content’, ’subscribe_remind’, 999);” Try changing 999 to 9, 10, or 11. One of those values should make it appear where you want.
Joseph & Jim – You both bring up great points. I can make it easier to change the feed URL so those modifications won’t be necessary.
Thanks! This is always, what I wanted, will implement it on my site
Nice plugin. WIll test it out. Thanks.
hi, i’ve download & uploaded it to my site but why is it kept on prompting “This feed contains code errors.” when you clicked on the ’subsribe to my RSS Feed!’
Suzie,
There’s something wrong with your feed. It’s not the plugin.
To try and fix it, you might want to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. I see you’re using 2.0.5. You should either upgrade to 2.0.9 or 2.1.2.
Trevor
thanks trevor ! apprreciate ur prompt reply. oh gosh! upgrading is what i’m afraid to do coz i might mess up everthing
thanks again. cheers!
Great plugin… thanks! Is there a way to keep it from posting the tagline in every category though? I have one category that I don’t want it posted to (it’s in a sidebar and makes the layout look odd).
Works like a charm! Thanks, Trevor!
Hi Trevor,
One more question, is there anyway to get the subscribe remind text to show up in my RSS feed? It’s appearing where I want it on the post but not in the RSS feed.
Thanks!
hi, i really love the plug in.
how to not displaying the rss subscribe on my main page, but it get display on the post…
Brendan & Firdaus,
You can remove the conditional “!is_feed()” tag around the code. I put that in because if the person’s viewing your RSS feed, it’s likely they’ve already subscribed.
You can add ” && !is_home()” after checking if it’s a feed if you don’t want it to appear on the homepage.
-Trevor
Thanks for a great plugin! I’ll be recommending it to others too. You rock!!
Is there a way to keep it from posting the tagline in every category though? I have one category that I don’t want it posted to (it’s in a sidebar and makes the layout look odd).
Im using the plugins: Subscribe Remind and jLanguage and im getting two reminders at the end of the post. Exactly im getting an additional reminder line for every language…
Can you give me a hint/workaround what to do? It would be great if Subscribe Remind would also work with jLanguage so that the Reminder is displayed in the used language…
Marcel
Great plugin. Many thanks.
Mike,
WordPress has some conditional tags that you can use to restrict it from appearing in certain categories.
In your case, you’ll want to use “!is_category(‘2′)” or “!is_category(‘Uncategorized’)”, where “2″ and “Uncategorized” are the name and ID number of the category.
Nice idea, but it’s much more effective if the Subscribe line is tailored to the post it’s ending and not just generic. Which is what I’m doing here:
http://jobmob.co.il/blog/top-10-job-horror-stories/
To make this plugin a knockout, you should allow us to define a phrase per category, for example.
Excellent Plugin Trevor. i was just thinking about building one myself, now I don’t have too. I agree with Jacob though, it would be killer to be able to customize the message via the control panel. Perhaps for a future release.
Great plugin. I made some adjustments, and so far it’s working like a charm. Thanks
Wow! The installation is so easy and it’s working already!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great plugin! Easy, and works like a charm. Found a couple of tweaks in your comments to make it work just how I wanted, too. Thanks for sharing!
Trevor, thanks for the plugin. One question though – what do you edit to have the feed go to Feedburner (I’m clueless on code).
Peter,
Here are some instructions for you: http://pastebin.ca/661114
I wasn’t able to add them to this comment for some reason so I put them there.
(Of course use your own URL for the second part
)
Hope that helps!
Trevor, very nice plug-in. Still playing with it. Is it possible to also point to the “Pages”, not just the posts?
Great job!
PM
PM,
You want the link to appear on pages as well as on posts?
If yes, then it is a simple fix:
Replace:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() )
With:
if ( !is_feed() )
THANKS!! Just what I need to motivate viewers to subscribers! Cheers!
Great plugin! Is there a way to only show the message in a single post and not on the homepage?
Stefaan,
Yes, that is possible.
Replace:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() )
With:
if ( is_post() )
Hi Trevor, thanks but the replacement doesn’t work. It freezes the homepage.
It’s me again. I replaced
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() )
With:
if ( is_home() )
Now it doesn’t show on the homepage but it does show in individual posts and individual pages. To remove it from pages as well, replace it with:
if ( !is_home() && !is_page() )
Thanks for the plugin-
Stefaan’s code worked for me to keep link off homepage. One small typo in Stefaan’s comment though:
if ( is_home() )
I believe should be
if ( !is_home() )
At least that’s what worked for me.
I’m trying to change the subscribe_remind_text and adding some text at the end, but it keeps breaking no matter what I do.
It works great if I don’t edit, but the slightest edit, like just adding a letter, breaks the whole thing.
Keeps generating “fatal” errors.
Matt,
What would you like the text to say? I’ll test it out and figure out what needs to be done.
great plugin , will be using it rite now
Useful little plugin! Now, for most of my posts, I have reminders for my readers to comment, subscribe to my feed, and share on social sites. I used the Sociable plugin fer the sharing part
Trevor,
Great plugin. How could I change the code to insert my feedburner icon? Here is the html code:
Subscribe
Ryan,
I assume by icon you meant link? I didn’t see an image file in the code you posted.
Follow these instructions and you should be all set: http://pastebin.ca/699598
Trevor
Sorry – very ignorant on WP code and such. Can you outline exactly what code I need to add, and where, to make the reminder text not appear on the home page please?
Patrick,
No problem…
Replace:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() )
With:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() && !is_home() )
Excellent. Thanks so much for the quick reply and the very nice plugin!!!
Cool plug-in for wordpress. Nice and simple the way it should be. Hope I can get some more subscribers with it.
Hi Trevor,
How do I have the link point to my Feedburner feed? (based on the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin?)
Tomaz:
Replace the following:
‘ . get_bloginfo(‘rss2_url’) . ‘
with:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeed
*Make sure you replace the single quotes and dots around get_bloginfo(‘rss2_url’)
Hope that helps!
Thanks Trevor,
That worked!
Hi Trevor,
Awesome plugin. I was able to figure out how to change the text and URL. However, I would like to have a link to subscribe via email as well as RSS.
I tried hacking the code, but broke it. I removed my hack and got everything working again.
My curent statement is: “For more helpful articles like this one, please subscribe to my RSS feed.” With “subscribe to my RSS feed” linking to my feedburner RSS feed URL.
However, I would like the text to read: “For more helpful articles like this one, please subscribe to my RSS feed or receive updates via email.”
In the above statement, I would like 2 separate links. The first one will be “subscribe to my RSS feed” and this links to my feedburner RSS feed URL; already working. The second link would be “updates via email” linking to my feedburner email feed.
Is this possible to do with your plugin? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for your help and Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the script Trevor. I had to review how you wrote the script and it was so simple.
I looked around your blog for a donate button, but I couldn’t find one. I am happy to give you a donation for solving this problem for me.
If you don’t have a donate button, come see me the next time you have an electrical problem; I’ve got your back.
Thanks again for your help and Merry Christmas.
Thx for This Plugin…
Fantastic plugin mate! As someone else stated, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best!
Keep up the good work!
By the way, how can i remove the text from the homepage? I just want it to show up on the single-post page..
thanks
Andrei,
Sorry for the slow reply.
Here is what you need to do… (it’s simple, don’t worry!)
Replace:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() )
With:
if ( is_single() )
Trevor
I put in my plugins folder and activated it but it still does not show. I think I need to put code in somewhere but not sure what and where. Sorry for my ignorance and your help is appreciated. Looks like a great plugin
eb,
No changes are necessary to get the plugin working. You don’t have to add any code.
If the plugin is activated, it should show up at the bottom of each post.
Trevor
i have checked the chris website you have specified in example i want to put the same type of button in my site could you please help me how to add this with all the required modifications
Dave,
That is not currently supported, however it is fairly easy to do with just a bit of code hacking. You have to create an image you want to use and insert the img tag in the plugin.
Good luck.
Hi, Trevor! I just want to say Thank You! for the great plugin! I have it working at http://www.1happycorner.com/a-token-of-love-flowers-online-resources
I chose to replace the text with an image to fit my website.
Thanks again for a simple yet extremely efficient plugin!
Sincerely,
B.T.
Hi, the link seems to be broken.
I’ve been looking for the plugin everywhere since I first saw it appear. It is aesome!
Olivier,
Thanks for the notice. The link should be fixed now.
Enjoy!
Trevor,
Thank you for such a great plugin. I’m trying to add the img tag into the plugin so I can replace the txt with a custom image, however everytime I do so, I get a fatal error! Any way round this? Could you please give a template code so I can substitute my image into the code?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the plugin! I am using it on my new site ^^
Trevor,
Thanks a ton for this cool plugin. Installation was a breeze. You can check it out at http://www.theorangepaper.com
Cheers,
Austin
Very cool plugin. I know very little about coding. How can I make it call an image instead of text?
Thanks!
matt
Is this plugin still compatible with wp2.5?
xytheme,
Yes, it is compatible with WordPress 2.5.
Trevor
Thank you trevor.
Gonna try using it on my site.
I am having a problem with this plugin disabling the visual editor. any help would be awesome
morterblog.com
Trevor, I’d like to see this combined with the Subscribe plugin from Add to Any:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-to-any-subscribe/
It lets you add to any feed reader. I love it! Is there any chance you could have it as an option? Like… rollover your graphic and see the menu of services?
Paul,
That’s a good idea! I’ll see what I can do for the next release.
Thanks!
I tried using this with 2.5. I activated the plugin, but couldn’t locate where the admin info was.
The instructions say “Activate via the administration interface,” but I can not locate the admin interface. I think I’ve looked everywhere. I expected it to be in “Manage” or “Settings” but I couldn’t find it.
Please advise
thanks
Lane
Lane,
On the Plugins page, you have to activate the plugin before it starts working.
Hi Trevor
Thanks for the quick reply. I had already activated it, but I don’t see any “subscribe” message after each post on my site. Also, once I get it working, is there any way to customize the message?
Lane
Hi,
The plugin works — sorry, I’m not sure why I couldn’t get it to work last night
How can I modify the string that it displays?
Lane
Lane,
You’ll have to manually some of the code in the plugin. Open the file with a text editor and change it to whatever you want.
nice plug-in. I want to ask can we stop the line appearing in home page so that it only appers in the psot pages
Hi Trevor, I would like to know how I can change the text: “If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!” For any other, beacuse my site is in spanish. Thank you!
Hi, Great plugin! I’m trying to make an image show up like Chris Bloczynksi did. I just need to know what part of the code I need to replace with the img source code, any help please?
Thanks, used it on my blog and it worked great.
Ed
Thanks Trevor for this useful plugin…!!!
Hey Trevor,
Can you email me the code change needed to the php file so that I may insert my own image instead of your text? If it was html I could do it but php, I’m clueless. Many thanks, CharmingHostess
I changed mine to
if ( is_single() ) {
$content .= ‘‘ . SUBSCRIBE_REMIND_TEXT . ‘‘ . SUBSCRIBE_REMIND_LINK_TEXT . ‘!‘;
return $content;
} else {
return $content;
}
seems to keep the rss out of the excerpts
E, Great! Thanks, -Trevor
Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for.
Hey Trevor,
I had posted this awhile back. It seems to be interfering with the visual editor. Any ideas?
Mike
I see on the WordPress site that this version is not compatible with WP version 2.6. Any chance you might be updating?
Thanks!
Thanks! I was looking this plugin for a long-long-long time ago. But, this morning I found with googling it “how to increase rss reader”
Again, thanks and I’m truly appreciated it!
Regards
Thanks!

Thanks so much for this.
I modified mine so it only appears on single post pages, according to the instructions you gave Andrie.
Thank you for this plugin!
I’m also grateful for the ability to remove the reminder from the home page and have it only on the single posts. This is the code I used (listed above) to make it work, just in case anyone else is wondering.
Replace:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() )
With:
if ( !is_feed() && !is_page() && !is_home() )
Great plugin, loving it!
Trevor,
Wonderful plugin. I know this is a basic, basic question, but please help: I’d like the words “Subscribe to my RSS feed!” to be bold faced. How can I do this? Is it as simple as putting something like “< strong >” after the copy? I know nothing about code and don’t want to mess it up. Thanks.
Kevin
Kevin,
Change < em > to < strong > and < /strong > to < /em >.
Hope that helps!
Trevor – thanks for your follow-up emails and all the help you provided – it is now EXACTLY what I wanted!
You went WAY out of your way to help me, and I really appreciate it!
Kevin
Nice work..Using it on my site now..
Does this work with WP 2.6.3?
Mauricio,
Yes. It is compatible with all versions.
I installed the plug-in and it works great but I was reading some comments about how to make some changes but I can’t find anywhere where you can make changes? Is that only for the paid version?
Thanks.
Carey,
The paid version is intended to make customizations incredibly easy. You are welcome to change the free version any way you like.
Thanks
This plugin is very helpful
I’m using for my site
Regards.
Jack
This is a great plugin. I ditched WWSGD and am now using this…thank you.
What is the best way to change the font color (and/or font background color) of the text that appears?
Thanks again,
DebtFREEk!
Simple yet a very effective plugin. A must have for everyone who is serious on blogging.
Salamat!
Thanks for the plugin . I have written about it on my blog and given you a backlink.
Hey if you can help me customize it to make it more beautiful that will be great.
I replaced the text with an image and I also have it show-up on only my posts (NOT the home page)! If anyone wishes, you can see it here:
Pasho`s Daily Cartoons! : http://www.peterpasho.com/
Thank you Trevor for this great plugin!!
Cheers!
Peter Pasho
@Trevor:
I figured it out. I’m using a picture instead of the text. Check it out at DebtFreeAdventure.com.
Also, the reminder appears before my Adsense on individual posts. To get it to appear after the Adsense block, I tried your advice from above to change 999 to 9, 10, or 11…but none of the four options change the position at all. I don’t have any cache plugin enabled, so the change, if any, would be immediate.
Thanks in advance for your help,
DebtFREEk!
Hi Trevor:
How do you change the rss link to a feedburner link. I can’t get the format right.
Thanks
Tracey
Thank you trevor.
installed in my blog http://www.oceanofweb.com/
love it
Hi, does this work with WP 2.8.6? I’m having trouble figuring out where to put my feedburner link – it doesn’t look the same as in the examples you gave above.
Many thanks
Holly,
Yes, it does work with 2.8.6, although the plugin has been updated since I last told people how to edit it.
If you would like to change it to Feedburner, you can make this change.
Change this line:
$content .= "\n\n" . sprintf(SUBSCRIBE_REMIND_TEXT, get_bloginfo('rss2_url'));To this:
$content .= "\n\n" . sprintf(SUBSCRIBE_REMIND_TEXT, 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/TrevorFitzgerald');Hope that helps!
Thanks for the prompt response! I was able to edit it as you indicated but for some reason it’s not showing up on my site/posts…..that might be a problem elsewhere though, not sure!
Holly,
I just checked out your site and it seems you got everything working? Just a note: it only shows up on individual post pages (i.e. http://mummyzen.com/unexpected-creative-cooking/).
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks Trevor, yes it’s working fine now.
Didn’t it use to show up on each post on the main page and not just on the individual posts? As I show all my posts on the main home page, that would be quite helpful but there’s probably not a way to have that happen so that’s ok!
Thanks again for all your help
