  I wish to add an Authorize.net donation button to one of my posts. Despite posting the code for the button, the button does NOT show up in the post.

  I thought that upgrading the account would solve the problem, but the Authorize button still does not appear in my post still. I need this button to appear ASAP.

  I am unable to load a plug-in for donations because the blog template is old and doesn’t have plug-ins – that’s WHY I need the button to appear in the post.

  Can you help, please?

  Thank you,
  Joanne

  Hi there,

  I’m going to assume that the code is not accepted here at WordPress.com because it sounds like the code is being stripped. Take a look here to see the accepted code:

  Code

  If it’s not there it means that it has been removed for security reasons. If you believe your code is accepted, please copy/paste the code in a reply and I can take a further look.

  I am unable to load a plug-in for donations because the blog template is old and doesn’t have plug-ins – that’s WHY I need the button to appear in the post.

  Please note that it is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs.

  If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you need the plugin, let me know and I can provide you instructions on moving to self-hosted, WordPress.org.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
