 * I am having issue that is across all domains and themes. I cant seem to post 
   media to site in widgets that is not from local import. I can upload to library
   and then post image or video to site from there but anything like an affiliate
   link were I input code or url does not work with the exception of sometime iframe
   works. It does not matter if I use text, image or custom html widgets. I post
   the codes or urls as provided and nothing shows on page or in widgets. I might
   also add I mentioned this is all domain, multiple themes and it is also multiple
   sources providing the links or codes. Its almost as if the links are all broken
   or the media is positioned off visible viewpoint. I can enter html to holder 
   images from local and they present correct but external just present with surrounding
   elements floated back together and ignoring the widget content block. Everything
   I have found on this topic does not work. I should be able to add url or code
   to widget and presto I have image. I have been able to get some links to work
   but those have to be iframe links so inline works but block seem not to work
