  I added a series of social media icons as a text widget to secondary widget area of my blog. Each linked icon works properly, except for one link which no matter what I do gives me that awful “404 not found” error message. I thought I’d set each icon link the same way. However, obviously I’ve done something wrong. What could it be?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  THat is because for some reason there are two http://’s in the URL. Edit the link and correct it.

  Gee, I’ve gone over and over it and I’m just not seeing the redundant http://’s in the URL.

  What the link actually says is https://ronapr.wordpress.com/ca.linkedin.com/in/ronacbrewin and obviously that needs to be https://linkedin.com/in/ronacbrewin
