  I tried to add this as an option by following the instructions. However when I search widgets this isn’t an option. I’m using Classic editor and 2021 WordPress as the Appearance

  @aewilson2013 Hi there,

  I tried to add this as an option by following the instructions

  Just to make sure we are on the same page, have you gone ahead with following these instructions:
  https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  In order to be able to offer further help, what is the URL of your website or what is the name of your account on the WordPress.com platform you need assistance with?

  Cheers!

  Hello,

  Thanks for your message.

  My WordPress url is thecareercatalyst.co.uk

  I sent to Widgets and tried to add a new widget. I searched on ‘follow’ but nothing was listed.

  I wasn’t sure if that was down to using Classic Editor or the 2021 Theme (I am new to setting up WordPress so apologies if I’m not following the instructions I should be!)

  @aewilson2013 No worries, thanks for providing your site URL.
  It looks like your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers.

  You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  If you don’t remember your site login information, you should reach out to Bluehost for help with this. Since they’re hosting your site’s files, they also have access to those files and are the best ones to help you with this problem. You can reach out to their support team here:

  I hope that helps further :)
