Goodreads Widget– Numeric ID Problem

    Aloha! I’m having an issue with my Goodreads widget. I’ve been adding the Goodreads widget on WordPress, then inputting my Goodreads Numeric ID as prompted, and then saving; but the resulting ‘Currently Reading’ book that shows up from the link to Goodreads is one that I am not reading and that I don’t even have on any of my lists on Goodreads. It’s almost as if it’s someone else’s GR Numeric ID and the widget is connecting to their account instead of my own. I should add: I’m an author on GR, so immediately after my Numeric ID comes my full name.

    I’d appreciate any help! Mahalo nui loa. -Gia

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes
