  I can’t get the paypal donate button to work for anything. I have repeatedly followed the directions on here step by step and inserted a button in the text widget but when I click on it I get an internet explorer cannot display this page message. Why isn’t it working?

  Thank you sooo much!! I had an extra https in there that was causing the problem because I just cut and pasted the link and there was already one there. Now it works, yay!! :)
