Front Page Widget issue

Hi Christina,

Can you please provide a link to your site? The URL connected to your username, ckgraphicdesign.com, is currently directing me to a “coming soon” page. It’s tricky for me to help and understand the issue you’re referring to without access to the site.

Let me know how I might fix this. I have changed site to live.

Thanks,
Christina

Hi Christina, looks like there are some HTML syntax errors visible in your three front-page text widgets when I view the browser source, as you can see here:

– all a hred tags should be a href
– make sure there are no blank spaces before or after every quote mark

I suggest fixing up these errors first. Let me know how it goes.

I have corrected the errors. Thanks for the insight.
How can I resolve my issues?

Hmm, I’m still seeing some of the same errors.

Could you try pasting the content of each of the three text widgets here, and use the code formatting buttons when you paste them? I’d like us to sort out those before we look at anything else. Thanks!

I don’t recall using buttons. Sorry, unsure what you need.
Thanks,
Christina

Thanks for this! I put code tags around the snippets and now I can see what the issue is. You’re missing the closing angle bracket on each image tag, and you also have a line break or a space before the first quote mark in the image tag.

For example:

<img src=
"https://www.stitchesindesign.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/First-Page-pictureDigitzing.jpg"

should be

<img src="https://www.stitchesindesign.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/First-Page-pictureDigitzing.jpg">

Let me know once you’ve made the fixes in all three widgets.

I hoping I understood what needed to be changed.
I changed it directly in the widgets area, will I need to change the image link in the media area?

Kathryn,
The only left item to resolve is to remove from the contact page.
The fix you above mentioned fixed items on the home page.
Best,
Christina

Spacing looks good now, glad fixing those syntax errors did the trick.

The front-page widgets are showing on your contact page because you’ve applied the “Front Page” template to it from the Page Attributes box. Try choosing the “Full Width” template instead.

Kathryn,
Oh my, that worked wonderfully. Thank you so much.

Glad you’re set – you’re very welcome!
