PayPal not displaying

  • Unknown's avatar

    PayPal button is not displaying when HTML code is pasted into the blog. When the code is pasted into a different website it displays correctly and works as it should. Below is the code for the paypal button:
    <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” target=”_top”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”GUWSQ6FYR244N”>
    <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online.”>
    <img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
    </form>

    Thanks! Below is page I am trying to paste it in:
    http://edandlaurainindia.wordpress.com/how-to-help/

    I have read through the guide, the button has been created, but not through my PayPal account. This button goes through a registered charity account. I also tried pasting the code onto another website and it seemed to work fine. Hence my confusion??!

    edandlaura: Please read the support article that kardotim mentioned above. You cannot insert the form code that Paypal provides you because it gets stripped automatically for security reasons. The article above details how to add a link to a button, rather than a form.

    Some code, such as forms, javascript or iframes, cannot be inserted due to security concerns in the shared environment of WordPress.com You can learn more at the following support article:
