 * Hi,
 * I’m also a dev, so know all about coding at work and then at home too!!
 * Yes, following your instructions, I was able to find the user ID and copy that
   into the config property. The widget immediately refreshed and showed the correct
   shelf!
 * Thanks very much for helping out, lovely clean widget!
 * Nick

 * Hi there, thanks for helping!
 * The website is not live but you can hit it in test at [http://51.141.36.78](http://51.141.36.78),
   your widget is in the sidebar showing a list of books that are not the correct
   ones.
 * The Goodreads shelf in question is at [https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/23413932-w-j-lennox?shelf=currently-reading](https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/23413932-w-j-lennox?shelf=currently-reading)
 * In the Widget config, the Goodreads profile url for the owner of that shelf is:
   [https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7242227.W_J_Lennox](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7242227.W_J_Lennox)
   and the name of shelf is ‘currently-reading’.
 * The GR profile url is a little strange, but when we queried this with GR they
   said that this is what they do with a profile that has initials in it (i.e. “
   W.J.”). Using a profile URL of [https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7242227](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7242227)
   gives the same page on GR but unfortunately if I use this in the Widget config
   it is still showing the wrong shelf.
 * Hope this helps, will keep an eye out for future replies so that I can respond
   more quickly next time…
 * Thanks!
