  I am trying to link a shopstyle collective project widget onto the side of my homepage. various articles online provide me with steps, which shows me that this is possible, however when I try to copy the code into a text widget and publish, the polished widget doesn’t come up, just a jumble of code.

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

  The instructions for embedding the widget into WordPress, might be tailored for the WordPress.org version of WordPress.

  Sites hosted here a WordPress.com use a different version of WordPress than those hosted elsewhere using the WordPress.org version.

  See WordPress.com and WordPress.org – https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If your code uses codes such as embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea and others, those codes are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons.
