ok, it’s got it! thnx for the great plugin! :)
The options page doesn’t work with WP 2.0.5. It just won’t recognize/load the file.
@Blackfyr: I made it with 2.0.4 and I’m using it with 2.0.5 now. Works perfectly.
This works great in my pages, thank you. Could you turn it into a sidebar widget? Or even tell me how to get it onto my sidebar? Thanks Dustin
@Dustin: Check this out
Great plugin, just what I needed, thanks. One very minor thing tho… on the Paypal Donate Options page, it says the tag is <—donate—> instead of <!—donate—>
Thanks again

Hi,
I didn’t see a license agreement on this plugin. Is this plugin included in the Creative commons license as well? .
@Michel: Yes it is.
Hi – has anyone tested this in WordPress 2.1? It’s not listed on the compatibility page.
@Lori: I run WP 2.1 and the plugin works fine.

Great plug-in. Works fine on 2.12 for posts and pages (need to paste in HTML mode).
One question, can the code be tweaked or how can you call within sidebar, header or footer php files.
Thx. in advance.
Thanks I was looking for something like this for my websites. Much appreciated. I’ll try out your donation button!

worked like a charm, thanks for plugin.
Works out fine for me too , thanks for sharing this plugin with us.
The “donate now” code provided by the plugin is incorrect. It should have an exclamation point after the opening angle bracket. Otherwise it works great! Thanks.
its just great to download n use it htanx for sharing it

cannot believe that someone finally figured this out! kudos to you for troubleshooting THE wordpress/paypal dilemma. seemed like such a simple thing, but to my knowledge your the first to actually get this to work (outside of a sidebar) within a post/page.
many thanks
Does this work for all Paypal buttons, Buy It Now, Add to Cart, etc
I can’t get this to work to save my life. I’m running 2.3.2 with an encrypted Paypal button code that I’ve added in the Options page. I’ve noted the code and yet nothing is happening in the post. Am I doing something wrong? I’d like to get this to work as I think it’s a great idea. Thanks in advance for any support.
Okay, got it. I was just typing it in the visual post composer. This works great! Thanks!
@Albert: Yes, you can use it for any kind of button. Just paste the code in the configuration page.
Works like a charm – thanks so much!
I was ripping my hair out trying to figure out how to get PayPal’s encrypted code to work on my site… this plugin did the trick immediately. Godsend. Thanks again.
This is a great idea. Must find someone with the technical know how to help me fix this.
thanks. i download this plugins and work my site! :)
WP 2.7.1 – I had to change my paypal code to non-protected mode to make it work for me. But it works beautifully now. Thank you.

It is a pity that Paypal does not work with Ukraine
Thank you so much for this. Boy am I addicted to WordPress plugins. This one is especially useful. Thanks again.
Yes, you are very much right, you cannot open a PayPal account for Charity, if your charity is registered in India, same thing happened with me also, I applied a Charity account for my client and after completing all the formalities they just denied for the account.
I have a suggestion for you, apply for a normal account with some other website and then use it for your Charity website, I have list of websites who are doing the same thing.
You can also try some other Payment Gateways like CCavenue, but in case you are using Vbulletin script, I don’t think so that it may help you. The first suggestion may work for you.
thanks alot, im planing to get donations …im gona try this plugin , i thing this will work for me
Great information. WordPress plugins are awesome and we’ll start utilizing more very soon.
