  After trying MANY times, following ALL directions, I cannot get the Paypal button into the sidebar. When I copy donate button and link into the text widget and save, all that shows are the URL’s. PLEASE someone help – and DON’T refer me to the help page – been there a hundred times, it seems.

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

  Hi. To verify what’s wrong, please copy and paste here the code you are trying to insert into your post. If you prefer, you can hide certain information.

  Please add a backtick like this ` before and after the code. (Very important!)
  Thank you.

  “Into your post” should have been “Into your sidebar widget”, sorry.

  These are the codes I used to enter the donate button in a post, which works. They do not work in the sidebar

  I asked if you could please insert the code between bacticks, here, in these forums, so that I can see what’s wrong. Don’t use backticks on your own blog.

  This being said, your code should look like this (except for the URL…)
  <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxx"><img src="http://manhattanprojectii.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/paypal-donate-button116.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a>
