"Add to Shelf" widget not working

[Anton]

Hi all,

widget "Add to My Books" shows "adding to shelf..." and in broswer console I see 404 error for request to https://www.goodreads.com/review/rate...

Any ideas about this? Can anyone confirm that widget is working out-of-the-box?

Thanks & regards
Anton

Sorry you're having trouble, Anton. Can you link an example of a page where the "Add to My Books" button isn't working? Also, which Web browser are you using?

Hi William, thanks for a propmt response. Unfortunately I don't have a production page yet, I am trying it only on your preview page https://www.goodreads.com/api/atmb_wi...

I am using Chrome, Firefox, IE. All show the same: clicking 'Add book' does nothing, and in console I see such errors: http://screencast.com/t/ZC23IDVD
Seems like first couple of requests receive 404, and all others receive 403. I suppose this is why 'Add book' is not working, but this is IMHO.

Also, absolutely same problem is when I try to test it from local page on my machine.

I hope this info is helpful. I would be very glad to receive any help.

Thanks & regards
Anton

I'm seeing the same behavior at my website.

William, thanks for the support

Hi William,

Any updates here?

[Felicity]

Hi Paul, sorry for the delay. A fix for this was released a while ago which we think resolved the issue. Are you still seeing the same behavior on your site?
