Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately I now get another error message.

Thank you for the code

I modified it for Spanish, if someone wants to get it.

You have to change the url with: https://wol.jw.org/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/${date.getFullYear()}/${date.getMonth() + 1}/${date.getDate()}`

Thank you so much for this Brother! So glad I stumbled across this!

I don’t know anything about Java Script really - but I managed to get a working English one if someone needs a quick copy and paste :)

Just an update to:

• [Fixed] The tap widget now opens the daily text in JW Library.
• [Fixed] Addressed an issue where the Japanese daily text did not include text within <em> tags.
• [Added] colors for both light and dark modes.
• [Added] Utilize fonts from the Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY.
