PayPal donate button not showing up
-
I’ve pasted the appropriate code into a text widget, but when I save it, it cuts off most of the code.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ to create a blog specific paypal button on a wordpress.COM hosted blog and know that there are no other instructions that will work. You must follow the instructions religiously.
If you are still not successful then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.
Also know that Staff will need to know exactly which step here https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ is one that you are hung up on.

What I posted applies to each and every blog hosted by WordPress.COM like this blog http://blackscatbooks.com/
Using any code other than what’s here https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ will NOT work.

OK, thanks..the donate button at least shows up now… what (or where) in the code do I find the link where YOUR LINK HERE goes?
Thanks for taking the time.

So it appears you are stuck on step 3 https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/view-all/#step-3 and I tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please be patient while waiting.

Can you paste the code you are using into a draft blog post so I can look at it? Please paste in the editor’s HTML view.

The problem is twofold…
(1) There is supposed to be a link prior to the first line’s “<img scr” and I don’t know what the link should be.
(2) However when I paste code into the widget or in a page draft as you suggested…and I save it..the code disappears and only leaves two lines.
-
The code you are using is not the correct code.
Please go through these instructions again: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/get-paypal-button-code/
Please pay particular attention to Step 8. You want the email code and not the web code. Here is a screenshot of what your code should look like:
-
Thanks ROOTJOSH..but I follow the instructions best I can.
Sometimes it places the Donate button but is not a link…other times the code shows on the page….
If I could find the exact code that needs to be pasted in, no problem.
I was told this should come ABOVE the PayPal generated code:
But I don’t k now where the correct link is that should replace “YOUR TEXT HERE” –if I had that it would work.
-
Have you looked at that screenshot I posted earlier? That is an exact copy of what your HTML needs to look like. The only thing that would be different is the unique code that Paypal generates when you get the “email link’ as described in the instructions.
