  Hi experts.
  Why I can’t see my widget jpg ?
  I crated a private page with the image and then modified the old widget with the location of this new image link, but I can’t see the image.

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

  Because the image is on a private page. It will ONLY show up on that page.

  If you want it public but don’t want it in a post, just upload it and don’t put it in a post at all.

  Even if the page was public, again you wouldn’t see the image in your sidebar, because you used the URL of the page instead of the image URL. Go to Media > Library, hover over the image, click Edit, copy the File URL, use that URL in the image widget.
  Next time you’ll wish to upload an image for use in an image widget, do it via Media > Add New.
