  Hi everybody,

  I’m new to this so here goes. I’m using wordpress online.

  I want to add a Youtube subscribe button to my wordpress. I’ve watched the tutorials and I believe followed the correct steps.

  I generate the following code from the developer section at google:

  <script src=”https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js”></script>

  <div class=”g-ytsubscribe” data-channel=”staffroomseries” data-layout=”default” data-count=”default”></div>

  I then paste this code into the text box widget and it alters the code to:

  <div class=”g-ytsubscribe”></div>

  As a result no button appears and it doesn’t seem to do it for anybody else on all the tutorial videos I’ve watched. Please could you help me out? Many thanks

  Ryan

  You cannot post JavaScript for security reasons. When you post it the software strips the code out. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
