  Hello.

  First I am using the Stay Theme and need help with my homepage (myportfoliopartners.com). I am looking to turn the widget headers on the three sections below the rotating featured image into links. So, for my page, Client Newsletter needs to link to an uploaded PDF and Advisor Resources needs to link to its respective page on the site. However, when I past the link HTML into the widget title field, it is not retained.

  Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

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

  HI there,

  Here’s a guide on the accepted code for widgets:

  Add Code to Your Site

  Please make sure it is accepted, if not it will get stripped out. If it is accepted, can you copy and paste the code in your reply and I can take a further look?

  Thank you!

  Hi Grace,

  Thanks for the response. This is what I was trying to use in the Home First Widget Area header:

  Client Newsletter

  Every time I click save, it strips the code out, and reverts back to “Client Newsletter”.

  Well… my code just got converted. Let me try this again:

  /*
  Client Newsletter
  */

  One more try:
  <a href="http://portfoliopartner.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/march-2014-client.pdf" target="_blank">Client Newsletter </a>

  Hi there,

  Please remove the target= part. So it should look like this:

  <a href="http://portfoliopartner.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/march-2014-client.pdf">Client Newsletter</a>

  Also, please note that it will not work in the Title section of the text widget. If will work if you would in the field under the Title. I have tried it and found that it is working!

  Cheers!

  Thanks for the speedy reply. No luck with the title either, huh? Bummer! I was able to get it working in the content section too. Thanks so much for trying though!
