my widgets show on the side bar but only the name and nothing else
-
Hello,
My issues is, for example; I installed my ‘Social’ widget and made it visible to my website (cabloghsv.com), and I also purchased the Premium plan. Only thing that shows up is the word, ‘Social’ on the upper right side bar. I set it up so Facebook Icon should be there, but no its not. Other issue is that in my Dashboard or my Appearance link no where is the word ‘Plugins show up. in fact, no where in 2015 premium website does it show up, the link Plugin. What is up with That? I need to be able to search for them and look at them then decide which I will use.
Please help.

It looks like there is a bug with that theme and the social icon widget where if you set a custom body font, it somehow blocks the icons. I have reported it and will see about getting it fixed. In the meantime, I have changed your body text font back to the default and the icons are now showing up.
Re plugins:
While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:
However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/
What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?
Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:
Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

Okay, that bug is fixed now. You should be able to set your body text to whatever font you would like.

Thank you for what you all have done for me!
But I now cannot get to my home page automatically like it used to. the only thing I can think the problem may be when corrections were being made for me something got changed for the problems I am having???? I have gone into my url to view my address but it looks ok.
And, I did put that issues into the forum asking for help for that issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks again.

I’m not sure that I understand this. What happens when you visit http://cabloghsv.com/ ?

oh thank you and now WP showed me what I did wrong. My URL now opens where it is supposed to! thank you.
One more question about the FB icon I now have, is there a way to re-direct where in Facebook it goes into? I am thinking of creating a Fan Page and having it go there or me specifically?
thanks
