Are you still having trouble purchasing an upgrade for your WordPress.com blog?

If you see an error message, can you take a full screenshot of the browser window and upload the image to your Media Library so we can take a closer look?

Thanks!

Dashboard >> Settings >> Writing >> WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically

Then open each Post and make a small change and update the Post and see if that fixes the problem - repeat as required.

My brain is waking up. Two days ago I switched to the Chateau theme as I thought it was so beautiful. Then I spoke to Pay Pal as I wanted to sell on my blog. The person I spoke to said, 'try and publish a post' as the button did not seem to be working. I put Pay Pal in my Subject area and Published........ I need your help to get back on track. Don't know how this took out the wordpress credit or footer???? When I took a look at the blog, the footer was in black and I could not even ready it. I do not have the pay pal button on my blog.

May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

2. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce transactions and there is not upgrade you can purchase to get that. We can use the unencrypted PayPal donation button and the contact form only.

It is to support teaching Latin to comprehensive school kids.

Are you allowed to have a link to btmydonate [where people can donate money] from your blog?

He does not want to use Pay Pal because you can't get gift aid [means the tax is returned to the charity] and since you also need to pay Pay Pal the charity would get a much smaller percentage of the donation.

I love WordPress and don't want to go against the rules. I can't find any specific information about this.

Thanks!
