  I entered the PayPal HTML code on the HTML tab to create a button:
  <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”2ETXGV5EP7C7J”>
  <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>
  <img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
  </form>

  When I publish it, the button does not appear on the post or page. When I check back, it does show up on the VISUAL tab as:
  <img src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” alt=”” width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ />

  So I know it is there. Why isn’t the button show up?

  Hi there,

  Directions on how to add a PayPal Donate button are available here:

  It sounds like you’re copying and pasting the code from the HTML tab into your site. Is this correct? If so, you will need to use the code in the Email tab to get the PayPal button set up.

  If you come across any difficulties with the directions above, please let us know.
