 * You did not show the version of your WP.
 * Now there is also a `Custom HTML` Widget.
 * Have you tried that?

 * Hi [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.

    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](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](https://trustseal.enamad.ir/logo.aspx?id=38830&p=vjymukaqukaqvjymgthv)**“**/
   >

   element from second column of footer this code displayed like this:
 * **<div class=”textwidget”>**
    **<p>** <img id=**’**xlapwmcswmcsxlapsgui**’**

 * 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’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" />
       ```
