  When I add any information inside of a widget url, text etc, the url goes blank when I save my changes. The widget then becomes inoperable. The previous image is gone. This is the same for all of my blogs regardless of which theme I use. Thank you.

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

  Have you had any luck with this? I have the same problem. I have never had widget troubles before.

  No I haven’t any success. This gone on for two months. I tried various themes and still nothing.

  thanks for your reply, I actually just emailed you but please disregard. It looks like you have working widgets now, but I guess they aren’t the ones cause you the trouble.

  Should not be a theme issue

  I haven’t but I will try now, that might be a work-around for the Image widget.

  I am also having this trouble with the twitter widget. I put info in the box, but when I press “Save” it disappears from the box.

  The backtick ` not to be confused with the single quote mark ‘ is located to the left of the number 1 key in lower case under the tilde ~.

  Please post the code between backticks here. Know that if it’s an iframe code, Javascript or any kind of affiliate or advertising code then the software will strip it out.

  Auxclass your suggestion worked perfectly. Thank you. Jim Woods, this could help you too.

  Timethief I will try to use the ` for the code in the Twitter Timeline widget. It’s basically acting the same as the Image widget. I am putting the code from the widget generator in the box, but it disappears when I press Save.

  Yes, the Text widget can be used as an Image widget, using the instructions linked by Auxclass.

  Not sure about the other widgets, but I’m working on them.
