Upload the files
Download the zip file and unzip, the contents will look like this:
Go in the root folder of your Wordpress install, this is the folder that contains wp-config.php
The folder named ‘fedafi’ needs to be uploaded to your plugins folder. You need to upload the whole folder so that your plugins folder now has a folder within it called ‘fedafi’
Activate the plugin
You now need to go to your Wordpress admin in your browser and click the ‘plugins’ link
Here you will see the ‘fedafi’ plugin, click the ‘activate’ link
If you now click the ‘dashboard’ link you will see a new sub-link called ‘Fedafi’
Click this and you will see your feed details
Redirect your feed URL
The URL to your new feed will be http://yourdomain/rss.php
You can edit your template to use this new URL or edit the .htaccess file in the root folder of your Wordpress install and add a 301 redirect
The redirect should look something like this:
Redirect 301 /feed http://yourdomain/rss.php
It must go above everything else in the .htaccess file.
That’s it! Fedafi will now track subscribers and article clicks
