I have several WordPress sites which use feedburner for subscription.
My pages are coded to display the subscriber count from feedburner. At certain times of day (I think when the count is updating) the subscriber count is displayed as 0.
I need a way to get the count with a wp cron and either cache the correct count, or store it in a database table so that even when the feedburner api shows 0 my blogs will still show the proper amount.
This is a common problem with feedburner and I know there are multiple solutions already written for it, probably even a wordpress plugin. I don’t have time to find one that works so I leave it to you.
If you want to see how the feed subscriber count is displayed here is one of the sites: http://iconfever.com
