Folksy Widgets no longer working, at least not for me

1

Edited as I have sorted the issue now, it was an error, my end.

Hi, does anyone use the Folksy Widgets and is anyone else getting an error message? Max challenge attempts exceeded.

I have tried different codes but get the same error for all of them.

Does this relate to a widget already installed, or are you attempting an install? I already have the widget on my website and it appears to be working. I don’t have any answers, just trying to clarify where you are with it.

What’s the widget Chris?

The Widgets can be found in you shop Dashboard down where you find your shop settings. There are different layouts you can chose and embed the code into you website or blog posts to show your Folksy listings in clickable photos and links.

Thank you Sarah I will have a look, I didn’t even know what they were or how they were used.

None of the widget layouts are ideal for what what I want for mobile view, so I am not sure if it going to stay on my website.

@JOYSofGLASS is our resident folksy widget expert, she might (who am i kidding ‐ she almost certainly can) be able to advise on how to tweak the code so it displays how you would like it to on mobile devices. Please Joy?

Thanks, I know how to tweek the code and I can either have it look nice for desktop but not mobile or vice versa but not both. That is not a widget issue but my website issue, so I have decided to not use the widget for now.

Thanks Sasha. I use the widget to display everything in my shop by extending the number of items it shows but can do nothing to affect how it displays. … So I have a little note :

I had a quick look on the blog about the widgets, am I right in thinking they are for blogs and websites ? I don’t really know what they are for, I don’t have a blog or website yet so perhaps I don’t need them.

Yes they are for displaying your shop in blog posts or on website pages.

Yes they are a way of integrating your Folksy shop into a website or blog. The widget presents clickable photos of all your items.
