  Hi, trying to embed the Spotify ‘Follow’ button into the main sidebar space with this code:

  https://open.spotify.com/follow/1/?uri=spotify:artist:4y0Lq9wfgfUfE0PXlL8Uo2&size=detail&theme=dark

  … and it’s just displaying the html, not the button. I’ve left it live for the moment so you can see.

  Any thoughts appreciated – cheers

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  That happens because sidebar widgets do not accept iframe tags.

  There’s a message at the bottom of the HTML widget that says:

  Some HTML tags are not permitted, including: script, iframe, form, input, style

  For more information on how to embed Spotify into your blog, please see here:

  Hope this helps.

  Hi there, iframes are not supported here on WordPressdotcom unless you have the business plan upgrade. Have a look here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Did you follow this support guide to add the Spotify follow button? https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/social-media-icons-widget/

  If you do have an upgrade plan, you can also log a support ticket directly in the Dashboard at https://wordpress.com/help/contact when you are logged in with the account that purchased the upgrade.

  Let us know if you need more help with anything.
