Quick Q

lexilexi · 02-19-2010, 01:02 AM

Hi folks,

Trying to post my first WSO, I'm using the "enhanced editor" but do you think I can figure out how to switch on HTML so that my paypal buy now button looks like a button and not just a few lines of code?

Probably super easy but I've spent half an hour trying to figure it out and its driving me bonkers, can anyone help?

Hi

There is no function to "turn on" HTML on the forum, the forum makes use of BBCode instead of HTML.

Here is a way to install your PayPal button:

1 - Go to PayPal and generate the code for the button.
2 - Copy the buttons image.
3 - Upload that image to one of your hosting accounts, view it in your web browser to make sure it looks good and make note of the URL.
4 - Back on the PayPal page get the link for the e-mail version of your payment button.
5 - On your WSO page insert an image - when prompted for the URL use the one for your payment button.
6 - Now highlight all the BBCode for the image and press the hyperlink button. Enter the PayPal e-mail link code here.

That should make an image of a PayPal button that links to your PayPal payment page.

BTW, I find Google Chrome to be the best browser for editing BB Code on the forum.

Hope this helps.

Bill
