Fix GoFundMe Widget Not Showing Up

So I and many other people across the web are having problems with the GoFundMe widget that gives you a long embed code that is looking for a local swf file bla bla bla... most people don't understand why the code is broken they just know it isn't working so I'm not going to really get into the why it's not working. Instead lets focus on how to fix it....

So you copied the code that GoFundMe gave you and you pasted it into your website or blog or wherever and poof.... nothing happens.. it's a big white nothing on the page....

To fix it we're going to have to dig a little The following directions are done from Chrome but other browsers have similar functions

Go to the widget page and at the bottom, it will show you a preview of what your widget is supposed to look like.

Right Click on that widget and select "Inspect"

This will open up a side window with a bunch of code in it...

Your going to have to scroll up until you see the word "#document"

Just above that is a link that you need... It starts with/index.php?route=... bla bla bla
This link is to a document with your widget in it.



Again Right click on that link because it's not complete and select "Copy Link Address"

Now if you want to test it out you can copy and past that link into your browser and you should see only your widget.... BUT we aren't done yet

You want this in your website and we need to embed it was supposed to be in the first place so copy and past the following code

<embed height="500px" noscroll="true" src="Your Link" type="text/html"></embed>

Replace "Your Link" with the link you copied a few minutes ago...

The finished code should look something like this in your webpage


Note: if you're doing this on a blogger page, you cannot put it in the page section, you'll have to put it in the HTML/JAVA gadget on the layout screen...
