Adding PayPal button to my site
-
I have now walked through the steps to supposedly installing a PayPal button on my site, and cannot find out where I am supposed to paste the link. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi there,
I saw your comment and responded, but also came across your thread here. Figured I would answer you here, too.
If you click on this link and scroll down, it will provide the options that you have.

Let me know if you get stuck along the way.

I get stuck on step 3, where it tells me to copy and paste my paypal link.
For whatever reason, the template will not allow me to paste after I have copied the link from either Paypal or MS Word.
So, I copied the template provided into Word, and tried to copy and paste the whole thing. Nope. Won’t go.
Here’s what it looks like in Word, with my link inserted

The code that you have looks correct. Are you choosing for the code to go on Post/Page? If so, are you pasting the code in the editor under HTML, or Visual? It has to be pasted under HTML in order to work.
You could also copy and paste it into a text widget, which would make it appear on your sidebar or on the bottom based on the theme you’re using. You can go to your WP Admin dashboard:
On lefthand sidebar, hover over Appearance, then Widgets. Locate the Text Widget, then choose where you would like it to show up. Click on Add Widget and it will open up on the side. Paste your code in the content box, then save.More information:

Hah, sorry. I meant to go back and paste the link to your WP Admin dashboard, but… Squirrel!
I forgot. ;)
