  How do I add button code to my text widget? When I add the code from PayPal to the Text editor of a new post I do see the paypal button HOWEVER, when I add it to the text widget nothing appears.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There has to be a simple solution to my problem or something I am overlooking. I have read the directions carefully. When I insert the code from paypal (and now creative commons), nothing shows up when I publish the widget. Why is that? If I create a new post and enter the code in the text tab, I CAN see the button. There seems to be a difference between “text” in the post interface and “text” in the widget interface.

  Please help!

  I found the answer to my own question.
  See here:

  You have to us the e-mail and not the website code.
  You have to create a button and then embed the code.
  Thanks

  Yeah, that is a mixup that is easy to make.

  Glad that you got it all sorted out though!
