Who, me? Plugin?
Ahh…I’ve been told to never say no to an opportunity to learn…so OK! will stab away.

Your instructions worked magically. All is well, my site is back ?? Thank you!

I just spoke to the host provider and gave them your instructions. As expected, they refused and asked me to go to a developer. They have been firmly trained to not go the extra mile! Yes, I have access to cpanel and know how to get there.

Jan Dembowski: thank you so much for helping. My host provider (hostgator) seem adamant about not helping with coding issues. I will ask them again. If they still refuse to help, I can try to do this myself, but I am unable to log in via wordpress. I guess I’ll have to try the FTP route?

Do you have any advice on my original issue? Adding links to the widget titles? This seems like a pretty basic requirement for a website building tool, and it’s awful that it’s proving to be so complicated. If you know of any plugins that will save me from having to use code, I’d really appreciate it.

I am a novice as mentioned, and terms such as “backend” and “FTP” are jargon that I do not understand.

I spoke to the host, and he told me that there are several error logs due to coding issues. My original problem has not been resolved and am now left with a bigger problem!

I hope someone can help me!

Hi Chetan, my site seems to have crashed and is no longer opening!

Hi Chetan, thank you for your patience! I found the functions.php file and put your code there. But, same problem. On the front page, the widget tile is displayed as the link in text form.

My site is https://elegycommunications.com

As you will see, I tried to link the “Writing” widget under services on the front page. I would like to link it to https://elegycommunications.com/writing/

Can you please tell me where I can find the functions.php file? Thank you!

Hello Chetan. I tried this and it didn’t work. This is what I did.

I copied the code you sent, went to appearance—editor—Illdy: Stylesheet (style.css). And pasted the code below what was already there in the box. Then clicked on “update file”. After that I went to the widget title box and put in what you gave, replacing the https://www.ads-software.com with the link I wanted.
But when I went to the front page, the widget title was just replaced with the link written as text.
Am I doing something wrong?
I can send you a snapshot, but am not sure how to insert it here.

Thank you, Chentansatasiya. The solution you suggested requires the Widget Title Links plugin. As mentioned in my post, this plugin does not work. It is no longer updated or supported by wordpress.
