Hey,
Just a short note from me to say I’ve finally got around to checking out Wattpad. I’ve signed up as a writer on here also. Via Wattpad you’ll will find the free chapter preview I placed up on my author site for A Stranger in France. (Note that next month the chapter preview will come down, as my book is officially published). I will also post on Wattpad all the short stories that I write for challenges, and any I write that are not part of a challenge….. The ones I write just ‘cos I feel like writin’
If anyone knows how to embed a ”follow me on Wattpad” button in a Wordpress widget please do give me a shout, I’ve been sitting here for well over an hour racking my brain. Nothing seems to work.
Here’s the link to my Wattpadd account

Hello Kim. The “follow me” button is located in the Settings of your Wattpad account.
Click on your name on the top right of Wattpad => go near the bottom of this drop down and click on “Settings.” In your profile, there will be four different kinds of small buttons you can use. Click on the one you like and the iFrame code will appear under that you can copy and paste.
I’ll be sure to check out your stories. 🙂

Thank you I’ve found the button but where and how do I paste into wordpress as when I do the icon does not show up, it just shows the link and then you click the link and that takes you to a picture of the icon THEN you click the icon and get to my page lol. Is there anyway you can just display the button on a WP blog? Like where do I paste it in the theme customisation? I tried wigets no luck or have I done something wrong?

That’s a bit odd. 🙂
Yes. On Writer Sanctuary, I copied the link from Wattpad and directly pasted it into a Text widget on the right. I’m not sure what kind of template you use, but you should be able to add a “Text” widget and drag it to the different areas in WordPress. Aside from that, I’ve pasted it directly into the text editor screen when writing a post with no problems.
Some themes have issues when pasting code directly into them from the customize screen. I’ve always just gone through the “Appearance” section in the dashboard and then on to “Widgets.”

I just done it again copy and pasted it into the ”text” widget to me all I see is a link no button. What do you see? On the right hand by the follow buttons. And thanks for the help and checking me out.

Yeah, it’s only showing the link on my side. You’re copying the entire iFrame code, correct?
