Goodreads widget doesn't work.
-
I followed the instructions to make sure I got my correct Goodreads numeric user ID. I entered it into the widget, selected the shelf I wanted, and clicked save. The user ID I entered disappeared and the widget is blank on my site.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You followed exactly these instructions, ie only putting in the numerical component, not the whole line? http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/

I get an error when I go to Goodreads and try to see that account. Is it public? I think the error here is on the Goodreads side.

That thread suggests that the answer is to add your whole ID, meaning numbers and name. I tried that and it still didn’t work.

Mine worked perfectly after trying quite a few times. I started out entering the entire ID but it did not work. The
- numbers only
did work on Google Chrome. (It took a few minutes to actually show the book images inside the widget and I had to refresh the page to show it)
My new problem is that the widget only works on Chrome… NOT Safari or Firefox, and I didn’t bother trying anything else.
On these browsers it’s just a box that says it needs a plug-in to work and that there is no plug-in available. What to do?
