  Hi there,
  I am trying to use a craftcult.com widget for Etsy sellers to put a shop widget on my blog page. I paste the code into the Text widget box & when I click save it disappears & won’t appear on my blog. What am I doing wrong? I did the same thing with my Etsy badge & it worked just fine so I’m confused. Thanks so much!

  Certain types of code are forbidden on WordPress… it’d help if you could leave the code here for ‘us’ to see.

  You could also try refreshing the Widget page, then adding the code again…

  Looks like it uses javascript, which is a no-go: http://www.etsy.com/teams/7718/site-help/discuss/9989237/page/1/?post_id=121659076

  @antiqueshopgirl
  As the Javascript widget cannot be used you will want to see this:

  What many of us have done is simply take a screenshot of our Etsy shop or favorites and added it to our sidebars in a text widget. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-and-where-to-post-the-etsy-mini-code?replies=4#post-937853
