  I’m attempting to add my google+ username/profile to my wordpress blog using the social widget. When I enter in my username (google+ email address), I get a 404 error, ‘The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.’ I’ve used a few different username options and nothing has worked. I’m at a loss.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I could see where you have gone wrong in configuring the widget. You shouldn’t enter the e-mail address of your Google Plus profile. Instead you should enter just the username. To find your username,

  Login to your Google Plus account.
  Click on ‘Profile’ to view your profile.
  Have a look at the address bar.
  It should look something like this ‘107014419297125066003’ or ‘+YourName’

  You should enter the digits or the +YourNameOnTheProfileURL’ in the Widget you’re having trouble with.

  Thank you, I never would have guessed that the long string of numbers was my username! Much appreciated.
