  Here is the html code for a schedule appointment form that I want to add to my site. How do I add it? How do I link it to a button I want to import from another source?

  <script type=”text/javascript” src=”//wwcdn.weddingwire.com/static/js/widgets/appointment.js”></script><div id=”ww-appointment” class=”ww-reset ww-appointment-widget”><div>Loading…</div><div>Provided by WeddingWire</div></div><script type=”text/javascript”><!–
  WeddingWire.ensureInit(function() {WeddingWire.appointmentInit({“divId”:”ww-appointment”, “vendor_id”:”2429fdc83818359a”, “buttonColor”:’#7f007f’});});
  –></script>

  Hi there – That code won’t work here because it contains Javascript, which is stripped out for security reasons:

  However, you can create your own contact form in any post or page:

  Or you could simply link out to the external appointment site in a Text widget:

  Thanks for your reply.

  Would I just insert the html code for the external appointment form in the text widget? And, if so, how can I use a button image to direct users to click to access that form?

  Hi there – You could upload an image for the button to your Media Library and then use HTML to link it to the appointment website in your Text Widget. The code would look something like this:

  <a href="www.appointmentpage.com"><img title="Click here to make an appointment!" src="http://dearrudaweddings.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/buttonimage.jpg"</a>

  Okay.So, would I be entering the url for the image AND the html for the external form both in the same widget, or would I do an image widget for the button and a text widget for the form?

  Both in the same using that HTML. The link should be the link you want the button to go to, and the image URL should be the URL of the button image in your Media Library.

  Okay, I’ll give it a try. I understand about the image and its URL. Where do I place the HTML for the form?

  Hi there – It’s not possible to embed the form itself. You can create a button to take your readers to the other site to make an appointment there. Or you could use a WordPress.com contact form.
