Code getting deleted when I click save
-
Dissapearing text, I am trying to install a bloglovin button, and I copy the code from bloglovin but then paste it, but as soon as I click save the first part disappears, and I get left with just some code showing on my blog.
Have tried so many times, even on different devices! So frustrating!!!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Emily,
If code is disappearing when you paste it, I’m guessing part of the button code isn’t allowed on WordPress.COM. Here’s more about the types of code that get stripped out: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
What you could do instead is create an image of a button, load it into your media library and then use HTML in the text widget to make the image a clickable link back to your bloglovin profile.
If you don’t know enough about HTML to do that, I’ll be happy to help. Just post a link to the image of your button, a link to the page on bloglovin you want your visitors to see and any other text you want and I’ll be happy to create it for you.
Another option, is to create a “test” page or post on your site, use the tools in the visual editor to set up the button the way you want it to look, click on the “text” tab and then copy the code. From there you can paste the HTML into the text widget and you’ll be set.
Just remember to delete (or at least never publish) the test page.
Let me know if any of that was confusing or if you have questions.

Thank you wolfhound jesse I had tried that but it hadn’t worked, appreciate your help though.
Liz, Thank you, I am at work at the moment but will try those suggestions later today. Thank you, I’ll let you know how I go :)
