Widget compatibility
The widget code is not compatible with Squarespace, and some Wordpress and Wix websites therefore the widget will not successfully upload using this code, however, the widget will upload when an iframe is used. To use the iframe code, insert the widget URL to this code:
<iframe src="INSERT WIDGET URL HERE" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" style="width:100%; border:none; max-width: 540px; height: 640px; "></iframe>
You will find the widget URL as part of the widget embed code. All you need to do is copy part of the code and replace INSERT WIDGET URL HERE with the URL. See below which part of the code to copy.
