  I have two links (Facebook and Pinterest) under the social media widget that have both been working for the last several days since I set up my account. As of last night I keep getting the “page error” message when I click on them. I did not change any of the web links. They are the same as when I originally entered them. Any ideas?

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

  The Pinterest link is wrong: https://www.pinterest.com/https:/www.pinterest.com/scrappinfuntime/

  The Facebook link is wrong: https://www.facebook.com/https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrappinfuntimes/104734376535322/

  Corrects both.

  I cut and pasted both of those links that you provided as corrections and they are exactly the same as what is in there, it says there are no changes to save.

  Nope, the links on your blog are the same
  https://www.pinterest.com/https:/www.pinterest.com/scrappinfuntime/

  https://www.facebook.com/https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrappinfuntimes/104734376535322/

  and you need to put these
  https://www.pinterest.com/scrappinfuntime/

  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrappinfuntimes/104734376535322

  The wrong links have a wrong string:
  Pinterest
  “https://www.pinterest.com/https:/www.pinterest.com/scrappinfuntime/” —>wrong
  “https://www.pinterest.com/scrappinfuntime/” —>correct

  Facebook
  “https://www.facebook.com/https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrappinfuntimes/104734376535322/” —-> wrong
  “https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrappinfuntimes/104734376535322” —> correct

  Use the correct links without the ” ”

  I uderstand what you are saying, and I have copied and pasted exactly what you stated, when I click on the widget for some reason it is adding all of the extra stuff that you are telling me to delete. I think it is a glitch in the system.

  I figured out the problem….apparently the system already has the first part in it and i only need to enter the ending part. It is working now. Thanks for your help.
