    Hi There
    I have generated the custom code from the paypal site and trying to integrate it in the TEXT widget to appear as a sidebar. I am facing issues and not seeing the button at all. Its a drop down menu button, with an ability to provide feedback, but its not working. Per Paypal Support , the code is correct and the wordpress is changing the HTML formatting and hence its showing errors. Can someone please help me with this issue. Its urgent.

    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Regards
    Ashish

    Please don’t refer to Paypal instructions for this; only use the instructions at the support docs here. Note as well that you unfortunately cannot use the encrypted version of the Paypal link. http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

    Thanks raincoaster. I have referred to the http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ only. But following the same instructions too, i dont see the paypal button in my side bar widget area.
    I am not sure if i need to change any settings.

    What is the exact code you are putting in the text widget? Post it here between Code tags so it shows and we can analyze it.

    <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=”SMR7LNPP5QR58″>
    <table>
    <tr><td><input type=”hidden” name=”on0″ value=”Make a Donation”>Make a Donation</td></tr><tr><td><select name=”os0″>
    <option value=”I SUPPORT THE CAUSE”>I SUPPORT THE CAUSE $10.00 USD</option>
    <option value=”I AM A GREEN ENTHUSIAST”>I AM A GREEN ENTHUSIAST $20.00 USD</option>
    <option value=”ITS MY CAUSE TOO”>ITS MY CAUSE TOO $50.00 USD</option>
    <option value=”EARTH IS MY HOME”>EARTH IS MY HOME $100.00 USD</option>
    </select> </td></tr>
    <tr><td><input type=”hidden” name=”on1″ value=”Your message to Ashish”>Your message to Ashish</td></tr><tr><td><input type=”text” name=”os1″ maxlength=”200″></td></tr>
    </table>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD”>
    <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_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_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
    </form>

    also if i use it to add it in the home page, i add it as text and not visual, still i dont see it correctly.
