Widget Code problem

  • Unknown's avatar

    Ok so I found in FAQ where it says that you can’t put forms or what have you in the text widget. I was trying to add a form and it kept deleting my code. What I don’t understand though is that I know someone else who has a wordpress blog who put the same exact code in her blog and she has the form come up and work just fine.

    Does it have to do with what version of wordpress or something you are using?

    Here is my code, btw:

    <div class=”textwidget”>
    <form action=”http://www.gay-marriage-guide.com/cgi-bin/mailout/mailmgr.cg i” method=”post”>
    <input name=”list_id” value=”7417″ type=”hidden”>
    <input name=”action” value=”subscribe” type=”hidden”>
    <table align=”” bgcolor=”#ffffff” border=”1″ cellpadding=”5″ cellspacing=”0″>
    <tbody><tr>
    <td align=”center” valign=”top”><b>Email</b>
    <input name=”email” size=”12″ type=”text”>
    <b>Name</b>
    <input name=”name” size=”12″ type=”text”>

    <font size=”1″><b>Then</b>
    <input value=”Subscribe” name=”SUBMIT” type=”submit”>
    Don’t worry — your e-mail address is totally secure.
    I promise to use it <b>only</b> to send you Gay Goodies Galore.</font>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </tbody></table>
    </form>
    </div>

    And of course, I’m sure you know which parts it takes out. I’m just confused as to why it works for her blog but it deletes the code from mine? (Does it matter if she has her wordpress blog kinda hooked up with another site…something about CNAME or something like that…not sure the exact terminology??)

    Please help. Is there any other way I could get my form on my blog?

    Thanks all!

    this explains why; i think your friend’s blog is self-hosted unlike ours which are hosted on wp.com.
