[resolved] Image not adding to sidebar using text widget (4 posts)

    Hello, I'm pretty new at this and am working to get my site up and running. I am utilizing the Cleano WP theme, which is set up to have a special widget sidebar on the home page, and a separate one for the remaining pages.

    I have read several posts here about trying to get images to appear in the sidebar using the text widget and adding the appropriate code.

    I have tried this several times and can not get anything to show up at all. Text appears just fine (though not in a font I want).

    Here is an example of the html I entered into the body of the text widget:

    <img src=”http://www.vanetworking.com/images/vanalogos/vainsidercard150.png” alt=”Virtual Assistant Organization Association” width=”150″ height=”93″ border=”0″>

    I have also tried uploading this image to my own server and using that URL instead to no avail.

    My goal is to add the badges for several associations and accreditations that we belong to here but I am not having any luck thus far.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If it helps at all, I have the site live right now so I can see what I'm doing while I'm working on it. http://www.savvyofficesolutions.ca Please excuse the mess...it's a work in progress :)

    if this is the real code you used, probably from some copy/paste, you need to change all the 'wonky' quotes (for instance these src=”http ) into straight double quotes " .

    some articles on the web unfortunately distort double quotes in their posts.

    this is not at all an obvious cause of errors, particular if you copy it in good faith from a reputable source of information ;-)
