  Hi, I have been trying to add HTML code to the text widget but to no avail.

  For example, I tried to add a Google+ widget with the following code:

  <!– Place this tag where you want the widget to render. –>
  <div class=”g-page” data-width=”290″ data-href=”//plus.google.com/u/0/100837950628366369645″ data-layout=”landscape” data-rel=”publisher”></div>

  <!– Place this tag after the last widget tag. –>
  <script type=”text/javascript”>
  (function() {
  var po = document.createElement(‘script’); po.type = ‘text/javascript’; po.async = true;
  po.src = ‘https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js’;
  var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
  })();
  </script>

  But the widget strips away certain portions to this:

  <!– Place this tag where you want the widget to render. –>
  <div class=”g-page”></div>

  <!– Place this tag after the last widget tag. –>

  (function() {
  var po = document.createElement(‘script’); po.type = ‘text/javascript’; po.async = true;
  po.src = ‘https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js’;
  var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
  })();

  Please help to provide the correct code I should be adding into the widget. Thanks!

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry, but Javascript is not allowed on WordPress.com due to security reasons. You can see accepted code here:

  Code

  However, you can Connect a Google+ Page to your Blog using that support guide.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hi, thanks for the reply. I have already connected my google+ page to my blog but I would like to add the widget onto my blog. How can I do that if I can’t paste the code google+ provided?

  Currently we don’t have a Google+ widget, but what you can do is add a Google+ icon and link that back to your Google+ profile as seen here:
