For the Wordpress experts, my paypal buttons won't center???

Using a single WP setup as static, my paypal buttons only stay on the left hand side of the page, in "visual" if I click center, it shows it centered there, but when you refresh the site it still shows the buttons on the left hand side.

Is there an html code I'm missing or something? There has to be a way to center buttons as I've seen it before on WP.

    Hi,

    I've used html tables and cells to get paypal to cooperate. There's probably a better way but it was quick and I was on my way.

    go to HTML instead of Visual and use normal code to center the image.
    Then Publish. Do not refresh or preview, just publish.

    Go to your site and hit F5 when you are on a Windows PC.

    Now it should be centered.

    regards,

    Mike

      whats the code? The only html codes I can find for centering images are if its stored on your site or hard drive. Like what code would I use in conjunction with the paypal html code for the buttons?

      edit- damn you guys were fast haha, I'll try it later. Thanks

      Or just use real HTML

      Just click the HTML button and paste this where you want the image....paste the full image URL in the PHOTO spot including the HTTP://


      <H1><CENTER>This is your text.</CENTER>
      <CENTER><IMG SRC="photo.jpg"></CENTER>


      Good Luck

    Try wrapping the button in <div style="text-align:center;">...your PayPal button...</div>. You'll have to switch over to the HTML editor first, though.

      Thanks for posting the idea of wrapping the html and then publishing it rather than click back to preview. Did the fix for myself!

      Thank you SO much for that! Every time I used just simple <center></centre> it was fine for 5 minutes ... then the code disappeared and the button was back on the left.

      Thank goodness for dogged determination and forum posts that stay up

      PS: And if WordPress doesn't STOP inserting &nbsp; all over the place I shall get VERY cross!

    Do not use <center> or <div align="center"> ... these tags are deprecated.

    Use CSS.

    Find out the width of your PayPal button and wrap it into a div, e.g. with Google Chromes "Inspect Element" (right click on the PayPal button).

    Now use something like this:

    Code:
    <div style="width:171px;margin:0 auto;">
... PayPal button code ...
</div>
    This will center the div which includes your PayPal button.
