  How can I get the following code on my blog? (It’s a PayPal donate button.)

  <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_xclick”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”(email visible only to moderators and staff)”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”no_shipping” value=”2″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”no_note” value=”1″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”tax” value=”0″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”bn” value=”PP-DonationsBF”>
  <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but21.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”Make payments with PayPal – it’s fast, free and secure!”>
  <img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
  </form>

  Searching the forums for paypal and form might help. :)

  Paypal is allowed but the form verson of the link isn’t because forms are stripped due to security concerns.

  Sorry, but I didn’t find anything that helped. All I want is one of those PayPal buttons on my blog. :(

  You have to find a different version of the button in order for it to work. A non-Form version. There are some around, so search the Paypal site for them.

  I think raincoaster’s got a good idea. You can find a non-form version of a paypal button on the net and upload it into a text widget.

  then how can you use the link to your paypal acct when using a non-form version? I was going to add a page that has it on it with donate as the tab. whaddya think?

  I think you should contact staff for a definitive answer by using a feedback form.

  The paypal info can be found in this thread. It really needs to be added to the FAQ since the question comes up so often.

  Thanks a lot Vivian. The thread did not have a helpful title and I have now tagged it with “paypal button code” and cross-referenced it to the other thread.
