Goodreads Widget for Author ID
-
Trying to use the Goodreads widget, but despite the caution that my Author ID (which is not bringing up my books) may be different than my User ID, I cannot find a different numeric ID in my profile anywhere to try as my User ID. My Author profile is https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15975720.M_R_Leenysman
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not helpful at all. I already tried that ID, and it’s not working – which I DID say in my first post.

I was able to find my correct Userid embedded in the “not your account?” link in the email I received to confirm my author status, and the widget now shows the right book list for books I’ve read. But that ID shows up nowhere on the Goodreads site itself.

You should be able to get the regular ID for your goodreads widget on this link: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/67429583-m-r?shelf=currently-reading
“67429583” is the ID.
