widgets problems

Hello, i have a problem with my widgets. when i try to save a code it’s became something alese and it dosn’t show on my home page. what should i do?

You are probably trying to add javascript or flash, iframes or Forms. All of that code is stripped out here. We can look at the code and scan for issues if you paste it here between backticks, like: Backtick, all your code, backtick. The backticks are usually on the same key as the ~ and using them this way makes the code display properly.

My widgets have been replaced with one of my posts today, so they are not showing at all on the home page. When I hit next, they are visible, and when I preview the post in question, it looks normal.

The site linked to your username is apparently broken. What is the link to your blog please?

I’m not seeing the immediate problem, but something has gone terribly wrong somewhere since the W3C validator is showing 177 errors on your main page. Give the following a try
Go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and click save changes.
Next open each of the posts on your main blog page in the post editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it and then click “update post.” Hopefully wordpress will automatically correct the issues for you.

Thanks for the tip. It worked. I am very new to this and am curious what would be causing all of those errors. Any suggestions on where to start?

Do you use the HTML editor and write your own code, or the visual editor?
It doesn’t look like you have been pasting stuff in from either the web or from another program on your computer, , but if you do, use the “paste as plain text” icon on the lower tool bar. If you only have one row of icons, showing, click on the one on the far right end (kitchen sink) to reveal the lower row. Copy your text, click on the icon, paste into the window that opens and then click the insert button. That will strip out any offending code that might mess up wordpress.

I appreciate it. I haven’t been pasting…much, but I do write my own. I think it may be as simple as using <p> instead of
to separate pages. I really don’t know much HTML. I will try your suggestion.Thanks again.

You’re welcome. The errors I’m seeing (which are down to 61 from 177) are mostly to do with “p” tags.
You can check the report here: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpocketchangeaustin.wordpress.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.654 . Don’t pay any attention to the “comments-post” or the parsing errors. As you work through your posts cleaning them up, most of those will go away with the other fixes.
Having the change I suggested at settings > writing should keep everything you do from now on clean for you.
