I spent several days researching this problem, until today my
boyfriend found your site.

Tested and worked!

Thank you!

By the way, I tried the advice above and it still does not work on Firefox or IE.

I have been at this for months trying to get the GFC follower box to appear on my blog. It is visible and works when readers are using Google Chrome or Safari browsers but does not show up on Firefox or IE. Can someone please help me get this thing working?

Here’s the blog: http://www.bellasavvy.net

Thanks much!

hmmmm, it still doesn’t work on my blog. I still get a bunch of html. Only thing the code above adds is a horisontal line

according to Wordpress the problem is that they strip out the javascript due to security reasons: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/adding-google-friend-connect-2?replies=2

THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to get GFC to work on my blog for a few months now and couldn’t get it to work. I found your post and decided to give it a try. It works perfectly now. Thanks so much.

[...] WordPress and then went completely blank. So I took it off. Three weeks later, at last I stumbled onto a solution and much to my surprise, it actually worked! I have a followers box again! Woot woot! If you [...]

@Kite Koop – When I went to the blog you linked to I got this error;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in /home/thevil16/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 505

That has nothing to do with Google Friend Connect. That is a PHP error generated by WordPress.

That means it is a plug in causing the error, WP itself, or the theme.

When you add plugins to WP, they can add code to the theme. Take the plugin out, the code calling the plugin “throws an error” as it is called in programming.

My solution, uninstall the plugin, reinstall the theme.

Also Google Friend Connect is based on your Domain, you can’t move GFC from Blogger to a domain with out a few hickups.

And you can’t move the GFC code from one domain to another, it has to lie on the domain you added it to, to begin with.

Chris, I am at a loss for words. Nothing seems to work. I recently migrated from Blogger to WP premium theme (Genesis) and it worked for the first couple of days. I did add Ad Rotator plug-in after that time, but it was already not working when I did. I did remove AR, but did not uninstall. Most of the time it doesn’t show up for me at all, but in the last couple of days it does. BUT, not for the majority of my readers. I thought that it might be a browser issue, which would suck anyway, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. When it wasn’t working for me, sometimes (not all times) clearning cookies and the cache made it reappear. Sometimes the box is empty, sometimes it is there but the “follow” button is not appearing. My blog was quickly and steadily growing followers until this started and has stagnated at 221 for over a week. At the rate it was going, it should be up to 500 by now. That’s how unfortunate this is. I get emails daily about the issue, and am afraid my readers will eventually leave. Help! Please email me a response, as I can’t always get on the atual internet with 2 little kiddos but get emails on the phone. THANK YOU!
