Software updates for using the Podlove Subscribe Button

We have recently told you about the new design of the Podlove Subscribe Button and we are happy to have collected mostly positive feedback since then. However, people also asked how to leverage the new features. Let's talk bit more about that.

We have recently told you about the new design of the Podlove Subscribe Button and we are happy to have collected mostly positive feedback since then. However, people also asked how to leverage the new features. Let's talk bit more about that.

We have recently updated both the Podlove Publisher (2.3.12) and the dedicated Podlove Subscribe Button (1.2) WordPress plugins to show an expected set of controls to make use of the new button.

Both plugins provide a dedicated WordPress widget to easily include a button in the design of your choice in one of your sidebars. It also supports the new WordPress Customises enabling a live preview while changing the button's properties:

If you are using the Podlove Publisher, the builtin widget is made for showing a subscribe button for your own podcast. As all the information about this is already known, you just have to take care of the shiny details of how the button should look like on your page.

The dedicated Podlove Subscribe Button plugin allows easy integration of the button for any podcast you have the necessary information for so you can show a button for other podcasts (or your own if you are not yet using the publisher).

I hope these updates serve you well and please don't stop to provide feedback about the button. Use Twitter (@podlove_org) or our Podlove Community for questions and suggestions.
