To Create a Table of Contents in WordPress.com without a plugin
-
Hi bdukes
Since I cannot attach to this email I copy below my 3 cookbooks website HTML and Email Codes from my PayPal website. Please tell me how do I paste to my WordPress so that PayPal BUY NOW button can be viewed and credit card payment page can be seen. I would like it to link to my 3 Cookbooks on the right Sidebar or to the 3 Cookbooks on the Menu whichever you think is better or should I make a slider on the 3 Cookbooks (but I need your help). See copy below:

Please be sure that you are following EXACTLY the instructions here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/get-paypal-button-code/
If you try to use other instructions, the resulting code will not work on WordPress.com.

I cannot help you if I cannot look at the code that you are trying to enter.
Create a draft post or page with the code you are trying to use. Then reply here with the name of that post/page so I can go look at it.

Hi rootjosh
Here is the Email Code on the same cookbook.
Q2. Can I edit the BUY NOW button under view menu in Cookbooks so that when I click BUY NOW button the PayPal pay by credit card and invoice on the book can be seen ?
Thank you for your attention and reply.

You are not using the correct code. I’m not sure where you are getting the code that you are using, but somewhere you are making a mistake when following these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/get-paypal-button-code/
It is disappearing because you are trying to use unsupported HTML.
Your HTML should look something like this:
<a href=“https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=XXXXXXXXXXX”><img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" alt="Buy Now Button with Credit Cards" /></a>XXXXXXXXXXX will be a unique string of letters and numbers.
-
If you get code with the “form action” and “input type”, you have made a mistake in the instructions somewhere, I’m afraid.

Hi rootjosh
Here is the PayPal Email Code below
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BGXRQNY233AD4Even though I paste it in WordPress page Text and then Visual it does not show BUY NOW button with logos in the Untitle page
Please show me the steps to get the BUY NOW button with logos – this link belongs to The Oriental Cookbook (printed version)
I shall try the Email Code for The Asian Chinese Cookbook PDF
in my next email.Sophia Lim

Hi rootjosh
Below is the PayPal Email Code for The Asian Cookbook
The Asian Chinese Cookbook
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9US5QQD3H23JU
(why is it being repeated ?)Even I paste the above in WordPress page Text and then Visual it does not show BUY NOW button with logos in the Untitle page. If it can be done I would like the BUY NOW button in Cookbooks page where I have edited the words BUY NOW.
Or is it we have to go to Appearance>Widget to do this and Customise ?
Thank you for your attention and reply.

You are missing the IMG SRC part of the code that points to a graphic to display as a button. Please see the example code I posted previously.

Hi rootjosh
Your comment post of 5 Aug.2015 shows no img scr as below
<a href=“https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hostedCan you direct my questions to rachelmcr or musicdoc1 to reply me.
Thank you.Sophia Lim

Perhaps the code is not displaying correctly to you when I post. Here is a screenshot of what your code should look like:

It may be worth your while to look into hiring a WordPress professional to help you with this if it is proving too difficult for you.

Hi rootjosh
Looking at your 3 Plans I saw only the Business Plan can use PayPal Buy Now button as it falls under ecommerce.I may be interested in the Premier Plan and please answer the questions below.
Q1. If I register my Domain like http://www.specialasianfood.com at WordPress for $18.00 what about my the other Domain registered at http://www.ipower.com? or I can also Map It – would it still be the same Domain?Q2. Do I have to choose My Plan first and where do I activate My Plan for Public viewing? Would I be able to edit my website later after activation?
Q3. How do I use Akismet Stats, Links, All Links
I would appreciate your explanation on the above
Thank you.Sophia Lim

Looking at your 3 Plans I saw only the Business Plan can use PayPal Buy Now button as it falls under ecommerce.
I am unsure where you are reading that WordPress.com Business customers have the ability to use the standard Paypal buttons. There are ecommerce options with WordPress.com Business. But the ability to add standard Paypal embedded buttons (as you have been trying to do) is not directly part of that.
Again, I would encourage you to look into hiring someone to help you set up your site the way you would like. That investment will be far more useful than the added complexities of WordPress.com Business.
In addition, perhaps you should look into setting up a self-hosted WordPress.org site if WordPress.com is not offering the functionality that you are looking for.

You sign in to WordPress.com and find Plan and read everything pertaining to WordPress. You are a staff and you cannot answer my simple questions regarding WordPress.
If I want a someone to do my website I would not be learning and doing it myself on WordPress because I know what I want to be in my website and the other person may not know and do it well.
I also do not wish to use WordPress.org so do not tell me what to do if you are not well-versed with your own WordPress. You should not be working for WordPress.com
