Help with PayPal link/button please…
-
I searched for help and found this but I can’t seem to get it to work
Opened a new post in text edit.
Pasted PayPal image url there.
Switched to Visual editor.
Linked with the long text from the PayPal button generator page.
In preview, I get a button but when I click on it, this error:“The requested URL /en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″> </form> was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Hope for your help in solution!

Hi donwrightms,
You need to grab the PayPal code from the Email tab, and not the Website tab. In addition, you will also need to grab one of the button image URLs that are provided in the WordPress PayPal Support Document.

Correction:
Since it seems that you are already grabbing the appropriate button image URL, all you need to do is link the image to the URL from the Email Tab of the PayPal Button page generator.
Good luck to you!

Nope! You were right!
Even though I read to use the Email code, I DIDN’T! So now I did, and have a working button – tested by clicking the button in the WordPress post I had created in.
Now what I want to do, is add that button to a sidebar widget all by itself. I don’t want it as a blog post.
Can do?

You sure can. You would need to add a text widget to your sidebar and then paste the same code into it (both the PayPal code and the button code).
