  I am trying to load an image onto the sidebar of my blog. Whenever I put in the image URL and click Save, the URL disappears, and viewing my blog results in a box saying something like “Please configure the Image widget in your widget settings”. This is quite frustrating and I’d like to know if there is a way around this!

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

  Is the image one that you have uploaded into your Media Library? Did your use this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/

  Yes, I followed the guide for the image widget and used the image from my media library. It is a supported file type and the file is not too big, so I have no idea why it would do this.

  All better now! I fixed it by going in to edit the image thru another link. Thanks for the help!
