  Hi !
  I’ve tried to find an answer on the french forum but we weren’t able to figure it out.
  So ! I am trying to customise my social media buttons (not the black ones on the side bar, I want to add new ones).
  So I’ve added a widget “Text” (under Instagram on my blog) and i’ve added thos code :
  <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Sarahbzh"><img src="https://breizhsocialblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /></a>
  It is not working on my blog whereas it’s working on the moderator’s blog : https://secretfruit.wordpress.com/
  I’ve switched off Adblock.
  Can you explane me why the button is fading away ?
  Thanx

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

  Hi Sarah, I see that nothing is displayed in your text widget – the widget code is there but it’s empty – your code should be between the div tags:

  <aside id="text-4" class="widget widget_text">
      <div class="textwidget"></div>
  </aside>

  Are you sure that you’ve saved the text widget and the code is actually there? I tried your code in a text widget and it worked as expected.

  If your code is saved in the text widget, it’s possible that something before the text widget is causing a problem. As a first test, you could try moving your text widget to the top of the sidebar to see if it displays. That may give us a clue.

  Hi,
  I’ve put the code between the div tags :

  <aside id="text-4" class="widget widget_text" title="Faites Shift+clic pour modifier ce widget.">
  <div class="textwidget"><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Sarahbzh"><img src="https://breizhsocialblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/twitter.png" alt="Twitter"></a></div>
  </aside>

  The icon appears and then disapears.
  How can I save the code then, this is actually why I tried since the beginning.

  Just so there’s no misunderstanding, I’m including all steps for putting your code in the widget and saving it. Apologies if I’m telling you things you already know!

  In your Admin panel, go to Appearance > Widgets.

  Expand (open) your sidebar’s Widget Area and find your Text widget.

  Expand the Text widget and paste your code into the text box (under the Title box):
  <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Sarahbzh"><img src="https://breizhsocialblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /></a>

  Click the Save button on the bottom right of the Text widget.

  Now check to see if your Twitter icon displays.

  Here’s a screen grab of my text widget.

  Are you seeing the same thing but without a Save button?

  Ok !
  It’s working !

  I was not pasting the code the right way. I was actually going in the HTML code directly and putting the code, so I couldn’t save anything.
  I undersand now.

  Thanx a million !
