Hey, great plugin thanks. I’ve made a transparent GBuzz png file for the footer. Email me if you want it. Can give you a good res PSD of GBuzz logo too if helpful.
February 28, 2010
I’m afraid i’m still getting “Error loading Google Buzz data!”.
February 28, 2010
@changsheng
It might be because of different time zone settings on your and buzz servers.
@David Lockie
Thanks for offer. I’ll remember that : )
@Stephen Galpin
It works for me as you can see http://test.96.rs/ . Please read previous comments.
February 28, 2010
Thanks for the quick reply and i’m glad to see it working on the test page. I’ve gone through and tried all the previous suggestions and i’m stumped.

HI,my blog have two Authors,so i wanna display two buzz in one blog ….
so how to do?
thx!!!
March 3, 2010
Hello, I’m using WP 2.9.2 and it reports “Error loading Google Buzz data!” also. Finally I found that it’s due to the profile setting of Google Buzz. Under Profile settings, “Profile URL” must be enabled to make this plugin work.
Good Job!
March 3, 2010
@Aaron
If you don’t have “Profile URL” enabled in Google Buzz, you can input the very long number that appears in your profile URL into the Gmail Username field in the Google Buzz ER settings. Works for me.

@lifuns
There is no option to show multiple Buzz accounts for now.

Posting Google Buzz as a blog post.
I am trying to figure out a way to post the output of the Buzz ER widget in a wide format into a blog field, not the sidebar.
Can this be done?
I’m experimenting with using custom fields in the blog post window, but have had no luck so far.
Thanks for developing this excellent widget — its output looks very good.
Best,
Kurt
March 4, 2010
Kurt, just put < ?php GoogleBuzzEr(); ?> in your template on place where you want Buzz ER.
March 4, 2010
Hi Lazarevic:
I’ll create a new page template and install that way.
I was hoping there was a way to insert a script into a blank blog post and get the Buzz ER widget output. I guess this method would require some kind of container or iFrame, but those are beyond my skill-set.
March 10, 2010
Hi.I like reading your post , keep doing it.
March 10, 2010
Great plugin with widget!
But it’d be nicer if you could provide an easy way to configure the style of the widget; or simply inherit the style of the side bar (might be easier).
I haven’t got the time to manually craft the CSS, I’m just too lazy
But thanks for the great plugin!
March 10, 2010
It’s very cool but it fails to add a linefeed before the content so it ends up just starting after the title (custom or default).
March 11, 2010
@eydryan
You have float: left for all a tags in sidebar and that broke title position. There are few ways to solve that, one of them is to add this line in your CSS:
#gber_title { height: 50px; }

Its giving me the error Error loading Google Buzz data!, tired everything,which told here, any ideas ??
March 20, 2010
Hello everyone. I was also getting the same error “failed to load buzz data”. After attempting all other suggestions on this blog and finding everything was set up okay. I was still receiving the error. Turns out my host company prevents external fetching of files. So I change the code to @huangda1982 suggestion for the use of curl. This solved the issue.
@Lazarevic Ivan seems most people might be having this problem.
March 20, 2010
Thanks for sharing this plugin with us.
March 26, 2010
After I added the plugin and changed the setting it gave me a “Error! Options page not found.” How do I solve this issue?
March 28, 2010
In Germany most Gmail users have an address og myname@googlemail.com
(this is due to a copyright issue of a German guy)
Could that be the reason, I get an error message Error loading Google Buzz data!
Kind regards
Matthias Thorner
March 29, 2010
@hitdreup
You’re right, I’ll upgrade this plugin soon and implement huangda1982’s solution.
@thorner001
Yes, that’s the reason why are you getting error. I didn’t know for googlemail.com in Germany.
March 31, 2010
NOFOLLOW TAG REQUERED FOR ALL OUTGOING LINKS INCLUDING BIT.LY
Why you don’t update it in this release. :\
April 4, 2010
New version (1.4) is available and I hope that nobody will get “Error loading Google Buzz data!” anymore : )
Also, from this version you’ll able to set custom color scheme and to choose do you want Google Buzz logo to be displayed.
Thanks for your comments.
April 7, 2010
Great widget, very impressed.
If anyone gets the error Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in line 143 of….
Its because your buzz profile is not publicly viewable, just add some personal details and make it public.
Cheers
April 21, 2010
Hi,
I’ve got another suggestion – if the image is smaller according to the thumbnail settings, keep the original size. This is particularly useful when users have their first (or only image) as a 16×16 or 24×24 smiley.
Regards
April 27, 2010
Suggestion regarding links opening in blank target (new window):
Maybe an option for a) Profile/Header link to open in new window b) for links in the content to open in a new window
For a) I just changed:
$title
“;
to
$title
“;
for b) I suspect that parsing the content and checking the links contained therein for “target=” and adding value if requested from options… but WP plugins (or PHP) are not my specialty, otherwise I’d lend the hand…
April 27, 2010
dang. no HTML codes…
<div id=’gber_wrapper’>
<div id=’gber_title’>
<a target=’_blank’ href=’{$data[0]['uri']}’>$title</a>
</div>”;
May 3, 2010
Thank you guys for suggestions, I’ll implement some of them in next release for sure.
May 9, 2010
Thanks Chad for below, worked for me too
“If you don’t have “Profile URL” enabled in Google Buzz, you can input the very long number that appears in your profile URL into the Gmail Username field in the Google Buzz ER settings. Works for me.”
And of course, thanks to the developer Ivan

Is there a future plan to add multiple accounts with avatar..?
May 17, 2010
Oh and for your information: i had an error after adding my account info. But i don’t use my user name but the numbers version. Perhaps an idea to add this info.
May 20, 2010
I love this plugin. It’s the only buzz feed plugin I found that displays images. I am wondering though … I have multiple authors in my blog and I’d like to display buzz feeds from each of them in specific locations. Is there a way to do this?
May 22, 2010
Hello Ivane,
It looks like an awesome plugin, but for some reason I can’t get it to work properly. I do the install just fine, but the only thing displayed are my comments – no link or images are displayed. Any ideas what might bew wrong?
Thanks!

I receive this error message when I put anything email diferent of luizaqui in my configuration
May 25, 2010
Hi I got this error. It happens because some people use the username of the gmail instead the profile of the Google Buzz. For some people this username are diferent. How my friend Ezequiel username gmail = ezequielvieira@gmail.com profile g. buzz = 109720051625076474087
In this case username ezequielvieira@gmail.com not show error above and 109720051625076474087 work with plugin.

Could you help me with this issue please?
June 3, 2010
Hi Lazarevic Ivan, I’ve tried two other plugins and I love this one.
But I have a question/suggestion: it doesn’t show the linkk added to a buzz. Do you plan include this feature in next versions?
Thanks!
June 7, 2010
I use this plugin ..
very very nice
thanks ..
June 20, 2010
Hi,
Please check out my website, I have your plugin installed but it’s as if there’s no CSS attached to it.. and it looks terrible!! Could you help out?
Thanks
Jason
June 20, 2010
I forgot to mention, I’ve deleted the plugin and re-downloaded it but it still seems to be broken. Can you please email me? Thanks..
June 20, 2010
Jason, try to set colors on Google Buzz ER admin page.
July 2, 2010
Is it possible to fetch comments made on BUZZ to the respective WORDPRESS blog entry, like can be done with facebook plugin WPBOOK ?
July 3, 2010
@pixelkeeda
I don’t know… I just know that it can’t be done with this plugin.
July 21, 2010
Hey,
Very nice plugin, I was looking for something like this. Two small remarks, though.
1° I’d like to have a checkbox in the option pannel to avoid loading your CSS, thus leaving the theme do the styling part. I made it by hacking your file and commenting the content of gber_head() function, but a cleaner way would be great.
2° It would be great if you could grab the source of the Buzz post and display it, and/or set it as class for the gber_post div. I’ve been digging in the feed XML and found it under entry->source->activity:service->title. I tried to hack your code once again, but the XML parser don’t like the “:” character.
If you know how to work around this, that would be awesome.
Thanks again for your plugin.

I did as you said, I also sent you a mail and a buzz with no response. I will probably now remove your plugin. Thanks for the short time it worked.
