Ok, one of my pages in my blog somehow just cannot show the html code frum a button I created in paypal.
I'm using the blix theme for my blog so...what is the problem?
Why won't my html show & work properly??
The blog I need help with is mypersonalcoach1.wordpress.com.
It depends on the HTML. Can you post it here between backticks, those little marks usually on the same key as the ~ on your keyboard? So Backtick, all your code, Backtick. That makes it display so we can analyze it.
If you are trying to set up a paypal donation account and button on your blog here are instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
6. You will see two (2) sets of code: html code Website and a link for Email. Believe it or not, you do not want the the code for websites. WordPress.com does not let users put post web forms so the website code would be stripped. You must use the code found in Link for Emails. This is the link that you want to attach to your actual button image. Keep this window open, as you will need to copy that URL in a bit.</bloskquote>

You appear to be trying use the code for selling things to people. We wordpress.com bloggers cannot set up shopping carts on our blogs. We can only use the code for posting a donation button. This is why the software is stripping the code your are trying to use out.
For posting a donation button on a wordpress.com blog, you must use the code found in Link for Emails. This is the link that you want to attach to your actual button image. Please read again very carefully. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/html-paypal-code-not-appearing?replies=6#post-419011
Tiemthief, I tried using the code for emails as you said but no luck. do I need to add something else to that code to make it work? Does it need to be between some kind of bracket or something? Thanks so much!
Buttons whose code includes the word FORM will never work at Wp.com. You must use the DONATE button, which is HTML only. And further, you must use the unencrypted version.
