How or where do you add widgets to Wordpress blogs?

On wordpress blogs they give you free widgets to add to your site, but I want to add external widgets to my blog. I am not sure how to paste the widget code and where to add it. Do you paste under widgets or headers or in the main body of a post?

Hi Andy,

It sounds like you are using Wordpress.com (the free service), and not the Wordpress.org software on a self hosted site.

If this is the case, then the short answer is, you can’t do that with a Wordpress.com site.

Here is a support page from Wordpress.com that explains some of the differences between the two systems:

Look under Wordpress.com cons.

How to hide sidebars/widgets in wordpress on my sales page?

Hi,

I’m trying to make a sales page in wordpress, but I don’t want my 2 sidebars/widgets to show on the sales page to optimize my sales page. How can I do this? I have 2 sidebars/widgets that I don’t want them to show on my sales page.

You can use a pretty easy plugin called widget logic for that, which will allow you to tell worpdress where you want or don’t want your widgets displayed:

How do I place web counters and PayPal widgets on my WordPress website?

Hi, I need a step by step account on how to install a donate PayPal widget and a site counter on my Wordpress website. I just signed up for one however it seems that the website is totally different from years ago when putting widgets and plug ins. Please help.

bgc answers:

I assume you already have the code for the PayPal widget and counter? These are usually supplied by the company providing them in a form you can copy and then paste into your WP blog.

As a rule, it should simply be a matter of pasting the code into a sidebar widget in your WordPress “Appearances” section.

You need to add a “Text” widget (or more than one, if you prefer – one for PayPal, one for the counter). In each, simply edit the text widget and paste in the code you’ve been given.

There *may* be a problem with some themes in which case it can get a little complicated. However, in the vast majority of cases, the above should work.
