have you configured includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php

in order to handle the link?

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link

//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

    $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

  $content .=  $logoimage;

  $content .= '</div>';
?>

it should look like this:

//
// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
// $logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT); 

  $content = '';
    $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';

  $content .=  $logoimage;

  $content .= '</div>';
?>
