  Hello, I’m trying to ad a widget to my sidebar.

  This is the code I wanna add:

  <!–BEGIN HYPE WIDGET–><script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script><script src=”http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/7181704.js?include=all&size=small&style=button&align=center”></script><div id=”hype_container_7181704″></div><!–END HYPE WIDGET–>

  But it won’t appear, can you help me? Do you know why it won’t work?

  Thank you so much,
  Regards,
  Jennifer

  Hi Jennifer,

  The code isn’t working because we don’t allow user added javascript in the text widget (or anywhere on WordPress.com), but we can often figure out a way to get the widget up and running using static HTML.

  If you could tell me more about what the widget is supposed to do (what it looks like, where you are linking, etc.) I’m happy to help you figure something out.

  Wanna share this look with an hype button to like my look
  and they show me only this code :

  <!–BEGIN HYPE WIDGET–><script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js” type=”text/javascript”></script><script src=”http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/7181704.js?include=all&size=small&style=button&align=center”></script><div id=”hype_container_7181704″></div><!–END HYPE WIDGET–>

  I got the same problem with websta, I wanna add a widget which shows my Instagram Gallery. I already have a widget on my blog but I wanna have a different one. I got the code :
  <iframe src=”http://widget.websta.me/in/jenniferbachdim/?s=150&w=6&h=3&b=0&p=7″ allowtransparency=”true” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” style=”border:none;overflow:hidden;width:942px; height: 471px” ></iframe> <!– websta – web.stagram.com –>

  But it isn’t working too. Do you know a code I can use?
  Thank you so much and sorry to bother you

  So, both of these are dynamic widgets. In order to work, they require user added iframes or JavaScript, neither of which is allowed on WordPress.com. (It won’t work in a blog post or in the widget section.)

  If you have an static image that has a similar feel to the widget we can add that to your sidebar and then users can click on the image to go to the page where the widget would have taken them.

  You can read more about the general idea here:

  If you want to do that, and need some more help, I’m happy to do what I can. The first step will be to find the image you want to use.

  Oh I see that’s unlucky because like the instagram widget will always change if I upload a new picture on my instagram page..

  Well anyway thank you for your help.

  I somehow missed that one of the widgets is connected to Instagram. We don’t have that particular plugin, but we do have an Instagram widget that might work for you. You can read more about it here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-widget/

  Since this widget is built in, it does pull new images from Instagram.
