  The text widget is deleting some of my HTML – why? It is only allowing me to display 2 social media icons and deletes my HTML when I press save

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

  It’s deleting your HTML because not all HTML is allowed here, for security reasons. Iframes and javascript, for instance, will be stripped out.

  If you want help, post the code here between backticks so we can look at it and possibly adapt it to work here. And tell us what it’s supposed to do.

  Here is it. It shows the Google+ and Tumblr icon but Twitter appears as writing in a box and Instagram just as a box outline..

  I want to display social media icons in my side bar.

  The image link you have for Twitter is actually a G+ logo http://dovastonsdusseldorfdiarys.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/122ii.png

  I don’t see anything else wrong with the code at first glance at least.
