  Hi
  I’m trying to add the Goodreads Reading Challenge html to the Custom HTML widget but am constantly getting errors. I have copied the info straight from Goodreads, as follows:

  2019 Reading Challenge

  

  Lindsay has
  read 50 books toward
  her goal of
  52 books.

  hide
  </div>

  50 of 52 (96%)

  view books

  </div>
  https://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/widget/13928382-lindsay?challenge_id=8863&v=2
  </div>

  Can you please advise what the problem is and how can it be fixed?

  Thanks

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

  Hi there, I’m not sure what happened when I added the CODE tags in order to allow us to see the code you were using. Your entire thread disappeared. I apologize for that.

  Not all code can be used on WordPressdotcom https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ and since it looks like your site is on our free plan, the CSS code in that snippet will be striped out of the HTML widget.

  Does GoodReads offer a plain HTML link that you can add instead?
