  I have tried 3 or 4 times to create a Paypal button on my site and it won’t work. I have contacted Paypal and they say the link is working correctly. The problem is when I try to paste the html code into the WordPress site, it only regenerates itself as code, and not as a button. Can you help??

  I would ideally like this button located on the Registration page.

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

  Hi there,

  I’m assuming you already took a look at this page:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  Can you try adding the image and link to that Registration page and let me know? I can play around with it and see what’s going on with your okay.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Thanks!

  Hi Grace,
  Yes I did that.

  Here is the html code I just generated for the button:
  <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” target=”_top”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”VHHSFAH9NJG82″>
  <table>
  <tr><td><input type=”hidden” name=”on0″ value=”Registration Fee”>Registration Fee</td></tr><tr><td><select name=”os0″>
  <option value=”Full day”>Full day €45.00 EUR</option>
  <option value=”Concession (student/unwaged)”>Concession (student/unwaged) €20.00 EUR</option>
  </select> </td></tr>
  </table>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”EUR”>
  <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_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>

  I have also just pasted it on to the registration page so you have it in the right location but you can see its just coming up as code and not a button.

  Or you can also make a button via this link but I think its not connected properly to my Paypal account:
