  I have an image on my (widget) sidebar of my blog that I want to go to a link when you click it. The problem is when you click it instead of going to my desired url it goes to [my domain name]/blog/[the url I want]. Thus an error 404

  How do I just go to my link despite I made the correct a href target?

  Thanks in advance

  Could you provide a link to the WordPress.com site you need help with? I don’t see an image in any widget on nickmanndesigner.wordpress.com. Thanks.

  It’s actually on TyypoPrints.com/blog. On my sidebar there’s image for my email course and when you click on it you can see the url goes to error 404.

  Oh I just tried the link and for some reason it now redirects to my desired web page. Weird.

  Glad it’s working now.
