  I’ve been trying to add the Challenge badge to my sidebar but it keeps coming up saying to ‘please configure widget in the widgets section.’ I’ve never had a problem adding badges before and I have NO idea what that means as I’m doing it the same as I always do. What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks,
  Calen~

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

  Are you sure you mean that? I ask because I see this in the sidebar https://nonsmokingladybug.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/award-free-blog2.png?w=300&h=300 here https://promptlings.wordpress.com/

  The code to put in the text widget is:
  <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n547/Jeremy-iZombie/A2Z-BADGE%202016-smaller_zpslstazvib.jpg" title="Blogging from A to Z April Challenge" /></a>

  Actually their code was not the one in the instructions. That was the one from 2014. But the code was under the new badge. One of the members just reminded me that I needed to add the Link URL as well. That’s all that was missing. It had been awhile since I added a widget. Probably since Blogging 101!

  Thanks so much for your help, timethief. I appreciate the super fast response. Hope you have a great day.
