I have a client that is using the basic feed for their Wordpress site (www.website.com/feed). She is asking how many people are subscribed to her feed. Is there an easy way to do this? I thought you could with Google Reader, but I guess those are only the statistics for Google Reader. I know Feedburner can do that, but will hooking up the feed to feedburner effect how the feed currently works on the site?
Thanks!
You want to start to use feedburner.
This article lays out some good ways to do that.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FeedBurner
Using plugins, custom functions, and editing .htaccess files.
Because you already have this setup, I would recommend the .htaccess method.
Ask Apache full details.

I am trying to build a plugin that connects to an API to fetch a list of products and display information about each of them. I understand that I will most likely use the HTTP API provided from WordPress, but I found the documentation very vague and I don't know where to start. I searched for other materials on this matter but I couldn't find anything related to WP plugins that get data from external APIs.
Does anyone know any good resource about this or have any suggestion about what steps I should follow?
EDIT: What I am looking for is maybe an example of how the WP HTTP API is used in a WP Plugin. I have searched everywhere but all I can find is the WP REST API and that is something completely different from what I am looking for.
This post on Sitepoint is a bit old, but still does a pretty good job at explaining the different parts of the HTTP API: https://www.sitepoint.com/the-wordpress-http-api/
Just be sure to look up the functions mentioned there to see if they changed in the past four years.
I did days of research and tried nearly every available wp plugin. But it seems to me like in English there's no way to find a solution.
I need a way to show the latest Sina Weibo feeds on my Wordpress website. If there's any way to get the weibo feeds as RSS, that will help me a lot already!
A reason is that many plugins are outdated since Sina changed the oauth to oauth2.0 and I can't read and write Chinese a lot, but speak.
Thanks a lot
Might be too late, but if you still need a solution, you can try http://sinacn.weibodangan.com/
Among other things it provides you with the option of pulling an RSS from any Weibo account. Search for your Weibo username, and then you will see towards the top of the page the link "RSS订阅TA的消息". Copy that URL and you will have the RSS feed.
Hope this helps!
I have found an alternative Weibo to RSS solution which is http://github.com/diygod/Weibo2RSS
It is an open source project written by nodejs. You can use the service the author provided or you can deploy one for your self.
This tool below is very cool:

Is there a way for Wordpress to automatcally post to my Google Buzz account, I saw one way but it looked like WAY too much effort having add a rel=me link and forcing Google to recrawl your site. Surely there's an easier way than this. The temptation is just to use the social buttons on my site after I post but I'd much prefer to do this automatically.
Thanks.
The only way is to add a link to your Google profile. It's not a big deal from your wordpress link manager.
After Google recrawls your site, you'll get the option to add it in your Google Buzz stream
I'm an administrator of 10-20 separate WordPress blogs, and it's a big pain for me to login to all of them separately. Is there some sort of interface that allows me to do a single-sign-on administration of all of them, like there is under a WordPress MU umbrella?
If so, what's it called? I don't even know the term I'd use to search for this.
I've yet to try it, but Virtual Multiblog might solve your problem.
Or, try the search term:
wordpress + multi blog
Google tends to vary results depending on your country of origin, so I'm not sure that what I found is what you'd find.
If it's just managing posts & pages and a few other items, a blogging client might be the way to go. WordPress provides a good starter list of programs - http://codex.wordpress.org/Weblog_Client
I've heard a lot of good things about http://managewp.com/
However I believe WordPress is implementing some sort of multi-blog support system in the next version release, so you may want to wait until that drops before laying out some cash for a service like ManageWP.
I'm looking for a wordpress-like blog interface to put inside a Joomla hosted site. The admin interface of Joomla is quirky enough and hard enough to use that daily updates are infeasible.
What I am looking for is an easy-to-use posting interface that supports multiple users with different accounts/names, a tagging scheme, and easy find by date/user/tag functionality.
In particular I'm looking for a relatively easy-to-deploy, out-of-the-box solution, and would prefer not to hack rss feeds together or write too much custom code. I know there are several extensions out there but they all receive largely mixed reviews... Has anyone used any of these? Or has anyone had experience putting something like this together?
Well you could do this - have a wordpress installation. Get the users to post there and then use the RSS feed from it (or the XML RPC Blogging API) to update the Joomla installation. You will have to write the update piece once, but then all the headache is gone.
I'm not trying to be smart here, but if the admin interface of Joomla isn't working for you, aren't you doing yourself a disservice by trying to patch their UI instead of spending your time looking for a CMS that is easier to manage/a better fit for your user base?
Edit: All of the CMS's I've dealt with in ASP.NET are homegrown. However I'm looking into checking out Umbraco based on the recommendations of two well-respected friends. In the case you presented where you already have content in Joomla and a migration out to another CMS is going to be overkill, I think that vaibhav has got it right. You should look into setting up Wordpress or some other blogging engine and then simply have Joomla consume the content and display it in the Joomla site. I've not done it, but from what I remember of Joomla when I was looking at it, I believe that it would support this.
After doing a bit more research I decided to go with the open source MojoBlog. It was quite easy to install and configure and after a few stalls and hang ups that were resolved via perusal of their forums I was up and running. The edit interface is not ideal but it much better than Joomla admin, and it has multi-user-support, tag categorization, modules for viewing by tag, date, etc. Think it will suffice for my needs in the short term.
