  Is there a certain setting on WordPress to allow a Monsterpay “buy now” button? According to Monsterpay is perfectly possible but when I copy-paste their code into my post, hit publish, the code disappears.. Except for the first line. Monsterpay tried it on another wordpress blog and it worked without a problem. So, I’m wondering if there maybe is a certain setting I need to change on the blog?

  Anyone have some advise for me?

  Thanks

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

  can you post the code between backticks so we can see what you are trying to add?

  <form action=”https://www.monsterpay.com/secure/index.cfm” method=”post”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”buttonaction” value=”buynow”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”merchantidentifier” value=”9M04I7FN8T”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”liddesc” value=”What’s So Funny?”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”lidsku” value=””>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”lidprice” value=”290″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”lidqty” value=”1″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”CurrencyAlphaCode” value=”ZAR”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”ShippingRequired” value=”1″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”LIDExpiry” value=”1″>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”MerchCustom” value=”9M04I7FN8T”>
  <input type=”image” src=”https://www.monsterpay.com/images/cartbuttons/bn04.gif”>
  </form>

  When I paste it into my post and then publish or save draft, only the first line remains. The rest of the code gets somehow deleted in the process..

  It’s normal that it doesn’t work: it contains “form” and “input” tags, which are not allowed on WordPress.com. There’s no setting that changes that. It’s the same for everyone:

  As a workaround, perhaps you can install a PayPal unencrypted donation button

  And as a reminder, make sure you are aware of what is allowed here and what isn’t
