text widget doesn’t display my code correctly

You did not show the version of your WP.

Now there is also a Custom HTML Widget.

Have you tried that?

Hi @t-p
thanks for your attention, my wordpress up to date (4.9.1 version).
Yes this problem exists with cutom HTML widget.

honestly, this is the first I heard issue with Custom HTML widget.

Make sure there is no problem with your code.

If that’s okay, then try:
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

Dear @t-p
thank you for your attention again, i am sure about my code.
i deactivate all plugins and i refresh my site after that, but this problem does not been solved.
i am sure this problem because of text widget, because this code applied in right column of footer and worked correctly in the past but recent updates brings this problem.

Any error message?

– Please check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message and see why it’s failing. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.
– If you cannot find error logs or if you don’t find any helpful info in the error logs, try Enabling debugging

Dear @t-p
i know the source of problem. when i put this code in text widget and get inspect element from first column of footer this code displayed like this:

<div class=”textwidget”>
<img id=“xlapwmcswmcsxlapsgui“ style=“cursor:pointer“ onclick=“window.open(“https://trustseal.enamad.ir/Verify.aspx?id=38830&p=fuixaqgwaqgwfuixdrfs&#8221;, “Popup”,”toolbar=no, location=no, statusbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=1, resizable=0, width=580, height=600, top=30″)“ alt=“” src=“https://trustseal.enamad.ir/logo.aspx?id=38830&p=vjymukaqukaqvjymgthv“ />

but after recent updates when i copy this code in text widget and get inspect element from second column of footer this code displayed like this:

<div class=”textwidget”>
<p>
<img id=’xlapwmcswmcsxlapsgui’ style=’cursor:pointer’ onclick=’window.open(“https://trustseal.enamad.ir/Verify.aspx?id=38830&p=fuixaqgwaqgwfuixdrfs”, “Popup”,”toolbar=no, location=no, statusbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=1, resizable=0, width=580, height=600, top=30″)’ alt=” src=’https://trustseal.enamad.ir/logo.aspx?id=38830&p=vjymukaqukaqvjymgthv’ />

note: after copy in this new version ” changed to this ’ and <p> added.

The text widget applies wpautop() to the content.

Swapping to using the Custom HTML widget should likely fix the issue.

What you said you have already swapped to the Custom HTML widget? Just double check you have swapped to Custom HTML widget.

i have used Custom HTML Widget but When I put this code in Custom HTML Widget,these errors are displayed:

my code is:
<img width="580," height="600," alt="“”" src="//trustseal.enamad.ir/logo.aspx?id=38830&p=vjymukaqukaqvjymgthv“" />

my errors are:
– Special characters must be escaped : [<].
– Special characters must be escaped : [>].

note: Unfortunately, my code is not displayed in this message But the same of code I mentioned above.

I’m running out of ideas.

another thing suggested by other volunteer is that you need to swap the curly quotes to proper ones.

The formatting does indeed have curly quotes instead of ordinary ones that is used by code editors. It also has a few syntax errors in the arrangement of what kinds of quotes are used where. I modified the code to correct those and managed to get it to save in the custom html widget. Try this:

<img id="xlapwmcswmcsxlapsgui" style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('https://trustseal.enamad.ir/Verify.aspx?id=38830&p=fuixaqgwaqgwfuixdrfs', 'Popup','toolbar=no, location=no, statusbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=1, resizable=0, width=580, height=600, top=30')" alt="" src="https://trustseal.enamad.ir/logo.aspx?id=38830&p=vjymukaqukaqvjymgthv" />

dear t-p
thank you very much for your helps.

FYI, use “backticks” to post code blocks on these forums. Might help for future questions.

Backtick is the symbol below the tilde ~, usually to the left of the number line on most keyboards.

Backticks make posting code easy.

oh thank you veryyyy much dear @williampatton
Your code worked correctly.
thank you for your helps dear friends ??
