    Trying to add a Paypal button to a static “donation” page, this is the code I got from Paypal but it won’t work on my site. I do not know how to make this code compatable with WP, help please?

    I am trying to do something similar.

    According to this:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/get-paypal-button-code/

    Step 8 says
    “You will see now see two sets of code:
    Website tab – provides HTML code
    Email tab – provides a plain link
    Believe it or not, you do not want the the code for websites! WordPress.com does not let users post web forms so the website code would be stripped. You must use the link provided in the Email tab.”

    However, PayPal is not giving me an Email tab with different code. It is only giving me HTML code for a web site. So I am also stuck.

    HI @luckyotter

    @drdawnmac is correct that the code you are trying to add (which is the website code PayPal provides) is not the correct code to use here on WordPress.com. This forum is also on WordPress.com, so the same code does not display properly here as well.

    Please follow the steps here carefully, and let me know if you spot the option to grab an email link (Step 8) which you can use here instead.

    Because this is the CSS forum, it’s not the best place to ask about PayPal, but if you get stuck, you can contact us here in the future. You’ll get a much quicker response: https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact

    Cheers!
