    ReverbNation's widgets use a piece of code called an iframe. In order for this code to work properly on your paid hosted WordPress.org blog, you need to download a plugin that supports the iframe tag.

    *Note: Iframe WordPress plugins can only be installed on a paid hosted WordPress.org blog. They cannot be installed on WordPress.com blogs or free hosted WordPress.org blogs.

    Follow these steps to start using iframe widgets on your blog:

    • Download an iframe plugin from the WordPress.org plug-in directory. This plug-in, called 'iframe,' works great, but there are others that will work as well.

    • Once the download is complete, save the .zip file on your desktop.

    • Login to the admin of your paid hosted WordPress.org blog.

    • Click 'Plugins' on the left sidebar.

    • Click 'Add New' next to the 'Plugins' title at the top of the page.

    • Click 'Upload' under the 'Install Plugins' title at the top of the page.

    • Click 'Choose File' and navigate to the .zip file you saved to your desktop earlier. Click 'Install now'. Enter your FTP login information, and click 'Proceed.'

    • Your plugin should have been installed successfully. It can now be found on the 'Plugins' page, which you can access from the left sidebar when logged in as admin. Click 'Activate Plugin' to enable it on your blog.


    Now you're ready to add your widgets:

    • Grab your code from ReverbNation. Log in to your ReverbNation profile, then go to Tools > Widgets. Find the widget you would like to add, and click 'Get It.'

    • Customize the color and layout of your widget, then click 'Get Code.' This adds the required code for the widget to your clipboard.

    • Now return to your WordPress.org blog admin. Start a new blog post or page, or navigate to one that you would like to edit.

    • Click the 'HTML' tab of your editor (it should be right next to the 'Visual' tab).

    • Paste the code, which should be copied to your clipboard, where you would like it to appear in your blog post/page. Save your post/page, and you're done!



    Please note, this is an informative post only. ReverbNation does not offer direct technical support for WordPress or iFrames.
