  Hello,

  We would like to use widgets of Chinese local social networks for our blog, is that possible? access to facebook, twitter and the like is restricted in China, only local networks are accessible.

  Is there a way to add such widgets?

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

  We need to be able to examine the particular code to answer you. Please post it or point to link to where it can be found.

  Hi there,

  As timethief mentioned, if you can post the widget code or a link to where we can find that widget code, we can check to see if it’s possible to add it here at WordPress.com. Certain kinds of code are restricted here at WordPress.com for security reasons, but I’d be happy to look at these widgets to see what’s possible. :)

  thank you so much for your help,

  I am interested in Weibo widget (http://open.weibo.com/wiki/Weibo_JS_Widget) and Renren (http://widget.renren.com/).

  Hi there,

  The Weibo and Renren widgets use Javascript and other code that isn’t allowed at WordPress.com for security reasons. I checked and could not find a version of the widgets that will work here at WordPress.com. However, I made a note of this suggestion for future features and updates. :)

  At this point, if you’d like to use these widgets you would need to switch to a self-hosted WordPress blog (with the WordPress.org software) instead of a WordPress.com blog. Just to clarify, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different entities. You can read more about the differences here: WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  Please let me know if I can provide any further help with this. :)

  If you guys @ WordPress.com can add Chinese social media sharing buttons to Setting –> Sharing –> Share Buttons, that will be the best.

  Apple already did it, so should WordPress.com, lol.

  rachelmcr,

  thank you for your help. In fact, we have just moved from WordPress.org to WordPress.com and it’s sad these widgets can’t be enabled at the moment. Hopefully, something can be done about it soon.

  Once again, thanks for help!
