HTML Non-functional in Footer

  • Hi there,

    I’d like to embed the Calendly badge widget below to my WordPress.com site at https://piatutoringcenter.wordpress.com/. Is it possible to use WordPress’s built in text widget to insert ‘arbitrary HTML’ and run the code below? I’ve tried, but the HTML is just displayed as a text string in the footer.

    As a note, I’ve built a WordPress.org copy of https://piatutoringcenter.wordpress.com/ using DesktopServer, and the text widget in the footer displays the Calendly badge correctly in that local, unhosted context.

    Thanks so much for any help!

    <!– Calendly badge widget begin –>
    <link href=’https://calendly.com/assets/external/widget.css’ rel=’stylesheet’>
    <script src=’https://calendly.com/assets/external/widget.js’ type=’text/javascript’></script>

    <!– Calendly badge widget end –>

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
