try to add a button to page
-
Trying to put html code into my page. It just shows up as code and does not translate to the button as it should.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Are you placing the code into the text editor or into a text widget?
Or is the code using forbidden tags?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/You can place the code here in the forum so we can examine it. Paste it, then highlight it, and use the “code” button above the comment box.

I tried the text widget but not text editor (I don’t think). Is text editor when you use “visual” you use “text”?
If so, I have tried that too. -
Yes, that’s correct. I think you might be trying to insert some forbidden code. Paste the code here so we can examine it. Perhaps there is some way to alter it to function.

I think you are right. I just saw that “form” and “input” are not allowed and both appear in the HTML code I was given.
How frustrating!
Perhaps paypal is easier to use? -
Ah, yes. PayPal. We can use the plain paypal buttons here on WordPress.COM: no shopping carts. If that is necessary for your site, then you must look into self-hosting.

note that the support article only mentions a “donate” button, but you can use a different button as long as it uses the plain html code.Here is some information about the different kinds of wordpress:

I am also trying to add a button from another site by pasting the code into a text widget. All I get is the text in the sidebar. I noticed that when I check the text, after I save the widget, the first and last lines of the code have been deleted. Here is the code:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
(function(d, s) {
var js, tjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
js = d.createElement(s);
js.type = ‘text/javascript’;
js.async = true;
js.src = ‘http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/widgets/get/1980’;
tjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, tjs);
})(document, ‘script’);
</script> -
Hi!
Please read my post above about forbidden tags on wordpress.com:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
script is one that will be stripped out.What does that code do? Perhaps there is another way to link to it?
