The solution to this problem is much simpler than what you can read at wordpress’ site where they ask you to not use the regular button code, but instead want you to use the email link over one of their button images.
And I also did not like this solution using an AdSense Deluxe plugin very much.
Well what if I just want to use the regular button code that you have customized at PayPal’s website? I came across a few other solutions that I did not like, such as sidebar widgets or plugins, but I wanted to get my code in without having to mess with templates or php code. And I wanted to be free to add the button only to specific pages or posts or exactly where I want it inside the content, without having to hack the code of the template. Plus it should be simple, safe and fast.
So I did the following:
- Download and install the raw html plugin.
- Activate plugin
- edit your post/page in HTML mode (important!) and enter the raw html wrapper code:
<!--start_raw-->...<!--end_raw-->
- Go to PayPal, generate your button code as you wish
- Insert the button code into your post, right between the wrapper code tags. So, replace the 3 dots in the wrapper code above with your button code.
Done! This works for me every time. Post a comment if this worked for you, or if you have a better way of doing this.
