Text Widget
-
I’m using go daddy managed word press. Not sure what version. In the appearance text widget where it said, arbitrary text, HTML, I copy and past amazon code but nothing shows on the site. I refreshed screen. It did work briefly than disappeared. I have Sydney template and it does not have options to change post LINK color as well. I have two problems.
1) Link colour
2) Text widget for sidebar shows blank. I have texted other html code, ex. you tube and that WORKED.Would appreciate help on this. I have tried everything.
Do I need plugins? I also tried a few plugins and I’m confused on those and they don’t work.
Thanks

My guess is that you might need to add “unfiltered html” capability to the widget, but I do not see any immediate solution for that.

Excuse me, why would WP filter amazon code out?
Can’t we put whatever html we like in those txt/html widget areas?Excuse me, why would WP filter amazon code out?
Can’t we put whatever html we like in those txt/html widget areas?I do not know any of the issues related to “unfiltered HTML” and site security or proper rendering or whatever, but I do know some WordPress Roles have the ability to add it and some do not:

Enhanced Text Widget
This is probably the solution.Thanks everyone! I’ve tried every which way but I will attempt these solutions. It’s good to know there are people out there to help, since WP is so mysterious. I’m sure they have a secret VIP number. Anyways, all I want to do is blog! thank you! 🙂
Just to clarify, you’re not using a product owned by Automattic (the guys behind WordPress.com). You’re using an “open-source” product called WordPress. This is owned by you, girl47. And me, and everyone who uses it. There is no VIP number, unless you’re referring to your own mobile phone number.
…WP is so mysterious…
Here is an insightful article:
I have WordPress.org. I heard there is a number or contact but other VIP hosting packages. http://boostblogtraffic.com/wordpress-hosting/
I did figure it a lot today but the widgets, I’ll leave for another day.
