Hi, yes, one of the buttons is what I wanted. wasn't clear to me why they had no code. so, to use one of those, when you say "upload it" would I still use the widget function on my wordpress site? where do I get the HTML code? That's what I need to put into the widget, right? Thank you!

Do you mean this Chandi - this page gives advice on how to get the widget code - https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...When I look at that page in my profile, I can see all the types of widget that can be added with the code beside each to copy then paste into the widget's appropriate field on WordPress. I added what they call a 'shelf badge' some time ago and that worked fine.

I don't have a need for widgets for the books I am reading and what's on my shelf, etc. I want just the "author button" and Daniel explained that those are not supposed to have codes. I have to treat it like an image...I just have to figure out exactly how to put into wordpress.
OK. I didn't think we were supposed to put the author button on websites - you mean the 'follow author' button visible under other author profiles?
Not sure where to ask this. I am relatively new to goodreads. I am trying to get an author widget on my site. I have read a bunch of posts about how to do it and I am following instructions, but when I go to the author widget buttons, and click on any of them, there is NO CODE that shows up. Nothing happens if i click on them. And a code should show up... so I am feeling stumped and confused. Any advice? (Again this for an author button widget, not any of the 'what i'm reading' types of widgets.)
