The options page doesn’t work with WP 2.0.5. It just won’t recognize/load the file.

Mikhail EstevesNovember 28th, 2006 at 11:02 pm

@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
Dave

Hi,
I didn’t see a license agreement on this plugin. Is this plugin included in the Creative commons license as well? .

Mikhail EstevesFebruary 11th, 2007 at 2:03 pm

@Michel: Yes it is.

Hi – has anyone tested this in Wordpress 2.1? It’s not listed on the compatibility page.

Mikhail EstevesFebruary 15th, 2007 at 9:21 pm

@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.

Works out fine for me too , thanks for sharing this plugin with us.

Kerim FriedmanDecember 12th, 2007 at 4:32 am

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.

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

Albert LynnJanuary 23rd, 2008 at 2:54 am

Does this work for all Paypal buttons, Buy It Now, Add to Cart, etc

Joe InfurnariJanuary 23rd, 2008 at 12:47 pm

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.

Joe InfurnariJanuary 23rd, 2008 at 12:53 pm

Okay, got it. I was just typing it in the visual post composer. This works great! Thanks!

Mikhail EstevesJanuary 27th, 2008 at 2:10 pm

@Albert: Yes, you can use it for any kind of button. Just paste the code in the configuration page.

Adam KayceFebruary 13th, 2008 at 6:40 am

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.

Cashmere LashkariSeptember 24th, 2008 at 1:36 pm

This is a great idea. Must find someone with the technical know how to help me fix this.

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.
