@Ann Marie - I can only guess you are referring to the 'BNS Corner Logo' plugin, if that is the case and you are still having issues with getting it to work the way you want it would be better to seek help on the plugin's home page, here.

I’m using your plugin for putting a logo on my pages. I know how to upload jpg with fireFTP. If I load it on my child theme folder, what is the url? For instance, if I load it onto the root folder of annmariedavis.com is the url annmariedavis.com/webpagelogo.jpg? do I need to put the picture into a html page?

@Johnnedel – From what I see as your URL, you have a dot-com blog … that being the case, the content of this post does not apply. You would be better trying: http://support.wordpress.com

Hi there. I have a real big problem here. I am a newbie in WordPress too and find this real hard because I can’t seem to find here how can I possibly add some widget bec. I can’t seem to find the add plug-ins in my dashboard as your representation shows. And by the way I am using the free version. Is the add plug in function only available for those in premium account???? Please help me.

@Jean-Marc – The error message points to an issue that should be corrected before any further items are addressed. There is not enough information there to specify if this is a theme or plugin related issue but first make sure all are current, including the WordPress core files on your test server.

Since my last contact above I’m a bit more advanced WP user
and big thanks for your help reply, but yet i’ve got troubles again through a classic application’ plugin
dixit that one “polldaddy” which is running well in my WP.COM blog but won’t run at all in my replicated local hosted

That’s it: from the debugging program tools, I received the error message below:
” Notice: wp_specialchars is deprecated since version 2.8! Use esc_html() instead. in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3382″
Clearly, i’ts appear like a breaked link to my previous Polldaddy account -of course a new registration is submitted to me-
but my point is to get in back all and see again my old creations ‘polls rating’
Don’t you see a way to solve my PB please (some codes to change in a particular file, maybe)
Thousand thanks for your answer
Jean-Marc

Don’t hesited to ask me for more details needed

@Jean-Marc – A widget is just a special type of plugin, generally offering more functionality than a standard plugin would offer on its own. This is usually done via options available to the end-user as designed by the plugin author.

If you follow the link in the above comment referencing a ‘shortcode’ you will be able to learn more about what they are as well. In this case, the ‘shortcode’ is referring to code found within the plugin.

Hi
Sorry, but i’m a bit confuse with the so called name widget sometime called plugin
W’d please fix widget vs plugin to make the infos clearer
2nd= You talk about a shortcode..what this function key do ? how does figure the shortcode?
I red above: “If the plugin does not offer a shortcode….”
Where the shortcode come from? the plugin source provider?
As a first aid, currently replies put me in a mess!
thanks for a reply
