  I NEED to put a widget on my blog. I want it to be simple. I am willing to pay for hosting if that’s what I need to do, but don’t want to move to another hosting site, because when I just tried to do that, I bumped my other website for my catering company offline and gave my web designer a heart attack. Can I upgrade to paid hosting through wordpress so I can just put a widget on my blog? I already have the pro bundle. Thanks in advance for your help.

  What is the widget that you’re trying to add?

  I’m trying to add a widget from Rafflecopter. I just want to host a giveaway on my blog, and it’s proving to be impossible. I see that javascript widgets aren’t allowed with free hosting, so I hoped there was an upgrade option. Please tell me there is indeed a way to do this!

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  The Rafflecopter widget won’t work because it uses JavaScript, which we block for security reasons. I’m not sure if they have an HTML-only widget, but if they do, that should work. You can use that by following the instructions on our text widget documentation page.
