  Hello,

  I am trying to add custom widgets via the ‘Appearance’ tab, but I do not have one listed on the Dashboard. I am the Administrator and signed in as such, but there is still no tab.

  Thank you!

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

  Hi there!

  You can add widgets in Customize (wordpress.com/customize) > Widgets.

  To find that area, go to WordPress.com > My Sites, then along the left side (next to the Themes link) you’ll see a Customize button.

  Let me know if you have any questions! :)

  Hi!

  Thank you for responding! I’m trying to add a custom widget using a code that I found from a blog site. How do I do that in the location you suggested?

  Thank you! :)

  You’re welcome! :)

  If it’s HTML, you could add a Text Widget and paste it in there.

  One thing to keep in mind though: Some code isn’t allowed here at WordPress.com for security reasons, so if it doesn’t work in the Text Widget, it may be related to that. There’s more info on code that’s allowed or not here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Let me know if you have any questions or trouble getting it configured! :)
