I am trying to add a third-party widget from Popvox by inserting their <iframe> snippet into a page's template. I get this error message: "This widget has been placed on a website (brucewolfe.nationbuilder.com) that is not authorized."
Please advise promptly as this is a major function of a campaign that is very short term and closing in a few weeks. I need this widget posted. Restrictions like this are not friendly to paying customers.
Bruce, I am glad Marci from POPVOX was able to connect with you regarding their widget.
If you need to publish a page on your website to review functionality, but don't want it to be viewable to the public, I suggest go to the Settings portions of the page. Under "who can view this page?" select either control panel users or admins to make it highly restrictive. That way, search engines wont crawl the page until it is publicly viewable and you'll be able to preview the page in full.
For people looking for general information on this topic, please refer to how to embed a widget on your nation's website.

Looks like you have a typo in your widget code. We have sent you more details.
We just responded to your email. The restriction is to make sure no unauthorized website picks up your widget code and attempts to mock your site or mislead people.
“This is POPVOX. We just need to authorize that url for you. By default, the url with permission to display the widget is the one listed in your POPVOX account. We’ll get it set asap.”
Sorry for the flame but restrictive publishing on any end despite policy once service is paid for is both inconvenient and not neutral.
Really, paying a premium and being blocked from using other equally paid premium services is really aggravating. This goes way beyond just function. This is about financial investment and the ability to get a campaign off the ground. What is the problem with mash-ups?
Do I have to go back to a traditional website?
And, Yes, I am very annoyed.
