On the other hand, WordPress users were a bit disappointed because this widget can only be applied to Blogger Enabled websites. However, now WordPress Users can cheer with joy because today in this article, we will share a simplest technique that How to Add Google+ Follower Gadget in WordPress Enabled Websites.

How To Add Google+ Follower Gadget in WordPress.

Before, we continue towards our Tutorial I would like to clear one thing that there is no rocket science behind this gadget. It is built with modest HTML and JavaScript coding which is design by Google’s Developers, we have just derived the coding and made it compatible for WordPress. Follow the Following instructions in order to add this gadget in WordPress. (Remember: the following tutorial can also be applied on Blogger or any other Platform because it’s a modest JavaScript coding).

  • First Login to your WordPress Admin Panel (i.e. www.bsresearcher.blogspot.com/wp-admin). 
  • Then Select >> Appearance >> Widgets >>TEXT (Arbitrary text or HTML).
  • Now In the HTML box Paste the following HTML and CSS Coding. Remember: Don’t forget to replace Google+ Profile URL i.e. https://plus.google.com/106374439082237286396. People can use either Profile or Page URLS according to their desire needs.
<div class="g-plus" data-action="followers" data-height="300" data-href="https://plus.google.com/106374439082237286396" data-source="blogger:blog:followers" data-width="320">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
      (function() {
        window.___gcfg = {'lang': 'en'};
        var po = document.createElement('script');
        po.type = 'text/javascript';
        po.async = true;
        po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
        s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
      })();
    </script>

All Done: After pasting the coding just Press the “Save” button”. Is that easier? Indeed it was. Now go ahead and check your website. We’re pretty sure it wouldn’t let your site look yucky. 

If anyone wants to adjust the Widget of this gadget, then just replace "320" according to the desire needs. As per for Height, replace "300". Remember: Don't use PX (pixel) with the width and height otherwise it wouldn't work.

From the Editor’s Desk:

Now neither WordPress nor any other Platform users can complain that they cannot use this Follower widget on their website. However, this gadget is still extremely new, so it wouldn’t look that elegant, but in the near future we would share some highly customized Google+ Follower widget. What are your thoughts? Does this widget deserve a five star ranking? Give your precious reviews and views via commenting till then take a lot care of your health Peace, Blessings and Happy Googling.

  • Agree to their terms & conditions and press Create Account to complete registration.
Step# 2: Now after verifying your email address you will receive your Username and Password, just login into your account. And now we will install the IP blocker script in our Blogger BlogSpot Blog to do so
  • First go to Website Code (Present on the left side of your screen in the navigation menu on toolator.com)
  • Now you will be able to see a Script, just copy it (CTRL+C).
  • Then go to Blogger.com >> Layout >> Add a Gadget >> Html/JavaScript.
  • Now paste the script code in the box which we copied earlier and press Save button.
Step# 3: After pasting the IP Blocker Script your Blogger Blog is ready for banning any user. So when any one violates your rules, do click bombing or steal your content, just do as follows.
  • Now you will able to see three boxes i.e. IP Address, Redirect To, and Reason. Just fill the boxes according to your needs and Press Block an IP button to finish banning.

Answering Some Important Queries:


Why Toolator.com is banning only three IP Address?
Answer: Yes you are right, tootlator.com allows us to ban only three IP address. However, if you want to ban more IP address register a new account and by following the same steps you can ban 3 more users. And you can keep on registering new accounts till you reach satisfaction.

Banning IP Address violates Google Rules and regulations?
Answer: Using some extra ordinary scripts to jam or choke BlogSpot Blog may possibly violate rules and regulations of Blogger but Blocking IP address is not against its rules, so you must feel free to ban unwanted users.
