  Hi, I am having trouble adding widgets to my site. For example, I tried to add a google calendar. When I followed the directions exactly and pasted the calendar code into a text widget, a link to the calendar appears, not the actual calendar. This happened again when I tried to paste code for an accuweather widget into a text widget. A link to the weather appeared but not the actual weather widget. Is there a setting that I need to adjust? Thank you for your help.

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

  I am having the same issue…. mine is with a pinterest follow me widget:

  Follow
  <!– Please call pinit.js only once per page –>
  <script async defer src=”//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js”></script>

  @lpmarshall90 Sorry for the late follow-up. If you still need assistance with this issue … you need the HTML code for the visible link (as sampled below).

  <a data-pin-do="buttonBookmark" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"><img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png" /></a>
