    Am having trouble with the text box widget - it is not responding to my html instructions, making quite a mess of it! Any ideas what to do?
    This is using Jenny theme

    Have also been selected to no display text in the header yet it still continues to do so...I had to eventually take the name of the website and tagline off, in the general settings...

    ?

    Please provide more specific information so we can help you, such as:
    - a link to a page displaying content related to your questions
    - the html code in your text widget

    Hi, thanks!

    Here is a link to a page:
    http://www.youcandoanything.co.uk/

    I have now finally gotten the widget box to respond to most html code in there, but still, you can see for example that 'Hypnobirthing' should be in purple as 'Events' yet it isn't.
    Here is the code:

    Join me at one of my <html><body><b>free talks</b> and hear all about this powerful tool!

    <p>Next one coming up on <b>Fri the 2nd of December 6.30pm</b> in London.
    For details and more upcoming dates, please visit my <html>
    <body>
    <font color="purple">
    events</font>
    page!</p>

    Please visit my <font color="purple">
    Hypnobirthing
    </font> page for information about hypnobirthing courses.</body></html>

    Regarding the problem with the text displayed, I can't really show it to you as it's in my site admin, but the problem is when I select 'No' for 'Display text' on the 'Custom header' page (Jenny theme), it just doesn't respond. Once I click 'save' it goes right back to 'Yes'. This is why I had to take off the site name from the general settings.

    Another problem is I have been trying to insert an image into the contents of the home page, I have uploaded it and it is in the 'gallery', however when clicking 'gallery', the file comes up but no option to choose it or actually insert it into the page. This is using Chrome browser by the way, don't know if that makes a difference. When I use mozilla firefox, the whole content of the pages does not appear.

    Thank you!

    I have been having all sorts of different problems with plugins - both the TF social share and SEO All in One; do you think these are to do with the plugins or the Jenny theme??

    Sorry, that was wrong, here is the code that I have inserted:

    Ok, this is too weird! It's copying and pasting on here without the code for the links; there is also before the colour code, as well as , before the colour again.

    Oh, I see now, these posts are responding the codes themselves. Well if you click on the above, you will see they come up...

    You have to put <font color="purple"> inside the <a> element.

    Or to help you with the code you may want to look into something like the WYSIWYG Widget Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wysiwyg-widgets/

    Ok thanks! I have managed to sort it out, seems it was an issue to do with the whole site, which I have now un-installed and reinstalled and seems to be working fine...:)
