Image widget not displaying picture

Image widget is not displaying the picture on my sidebar. It’s just showing a small question mark. Help!
Thanks.

Hi there, the image widget’s URL field takes an image path that ends with an image extension, like .jpg, .gif, or .png.
Your image URL looks like this:
https://plus.google.com/photos/108360187987664542028/albums/5881835771733055025?banner=pwa
Also, when I visit the above URL, I see an error message that I don’t have permission to view the album, so it looks like it’s not set to public. You could try setting the album to public and right-click the image to try to get a path that ends in .jpg or .png, and see if that works. Better yet, you could upload the image to your media library in your WordPress.com site, and use the URL from there.
Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for getting back to me. I changed the link to a wordpress library one and I still can’t see it. Is there something wrong with the widget, itself?
Thanks again. -
Hi there, the image path needs to end with a graphic extension, such as .jpg, .gif, or .png.
Your current image path looks like this:

The direct path to the image is:
I put this URL into the widget for you and the image now displays.
Just let me know if you need further help.
