I am really green to all web editing stuff, and learn as I have problems doing what I want to do…So,
To remedy my original problem, I opened the /Add HTML-Javscript.php file, from my web directory on my server and edited the following line: <?php
global $site_url;
$editor_link=$site_url.’/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/steditor/index.html’
?> …so that it matched the address of the HTML-Javascript.php file in my directory…
This will direct the link at your https://www.YourSite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/widgets.php page to open the Wysiwyg window for adding text and link reference script to your sidebar, when you open the HTML-Javascript widget for editing…

Using IE7, and MS FrontPage as my site editor and FTP client, I need to open the Wysiwyg from Admin page, enter text, click the make link icon, view source checkbox, select all, and press Ctrl+C to copy…for pasting into the widget editor interface…

Here is the script for my single.php page:
<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Default_Theme
*/

get_header();
?>

<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_post_link(‘« %link’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php next_post_link(‘%link »’) ?></div>
</div>

<div <?php post_class() ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this entry »</p>’); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
<?php the_tags( ‘<p>Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘</p>’); ?>

<p class=”postmetadata alt”>

OK… I just figured out how to do what I wanted…
You don’t need to open the WYSIWYG from the link on your site. You need only open the editor from the place you stored it on download and follow instructions from there…

The learning curve is steep at this point.

I installed the HTML-Javascript-Adder widget..and found how to add text to the sidebar.
Now I want to make the text into a link, and assume that the WYSIWYG editor would allow me to do that.
Can anyone tell me where I need to install the ‘steditor’ folder of this addin, in order for me to open it from the admin widgets page of my site?
The current path generated by the “Edit in WYSIWYG Editor” link points to https://www.canoemontana.com/wp-content/plugins/html-javascript-adder/steditor/index.html
It looks like the ‘steditor’ folder should be placed inside the ‘html-javascript-adder’ file?
Is that possible?
Thanks for any help…

I used the free SQLyog utility to open my data base and change the site url back to the correct path… And that solved the same problem for me… I felt so stupid for changing that setting without knowing what I was doing. But then, we are all learning here… Thanks Samboll. And thanks to everyone working on this project.
