Putting a Paypal button in a post (or page)

Yeah! The new version of WordPress is completely compatible with Paypal!  No more playing around with linking ‘email codes’.

**WARNING** If you put a paypal link in a post, it *will* not work for those who receive the post via email… they must go back to the post on the site.  It is a security issue with Paypal links in emails (they must be formatted differently to work in email).

So, with that, just go to Paypal and create your ‘buy now’ button. Cut the HTML code and switch over to WordPress.

Type your post (or page) and then switch to "Source" (see photo left for the button you are looking for*) and paste in the HTML code in and click ‘Save".   It will switch back to WYSIWYG view but the button won’t work until you publish it (you can however preview the page).

*This photo shows WordPress 2.6.3 with FCKeditor plugin (a standard plugin I include in your WordPress installation).
