Adding Rafflecopter widgets to WordPress.com
-
Hi,
I have tried to add a rafflecopter widget to my wordpress.com site but it isn’t showing up. I read that that is because Rafflectoper uses javascript in their embeds, and WordPress.com doesn’t allow user added javascript for security reasons. I also read somewhere that if you also have a self-hosted site using warderss.org then you can add a rafflecopter widget to your wordpress.com site. Is that correct? And how??
If I can’t use rafflecopter what can i use for giveaways?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Yes what you read in the many threads under this tag rafflecopter is correct. Read this please for clarity http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/To move your hosting and content read on.
1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and purchase a domain.
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/#change-name-servers-to-point-the-domain-outside-of-wordpress-com5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
6. Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
We provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs. That site is not among them. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums.
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG and need support for that site in the future and if you do not have a WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
