I have Rapidweaver 5 and have an old web site I’ve been using for many years. Now I cannot put a Paypal payment button into it. I was able to do it in the past many times but it doesn’t work at all now. I suppose I should upgrade but am afraid to do so because I am running an older Mac operating system and figure RW 8 will not work in it. . What am I doing wrong? I put in the code for the button from Paypal and nothing shows up? ---

Without knowing what kind of page(Plugin) you are using and where you are putting the code it’s hard to say. I don’t use RW5, but I have the demo version. I was able to add a PayPal button to a styled text page and it seemed to work? Make sure you when you copy the code you get it all. ---

Do I just paste the code for the button onto the page in the mode for building the page? Or is there something else I have to do like hot link it? Because I have tried pasting the code on the page 10 times and when I preview it’s gone. ---

Maybe try using “paste as plain text” from the RW menu. ---

I pasted the exact code into a styled text page as plain text. I’m using RW 5, I never had to import a stack thing before, all I had to do is just post in the code. But it doesn’t work now. Does anyone know why? Is there some other trick I have to do? ---

It would be good to look through the source code and see what’s gone wrong. If you’re able to, could you create a test page with the paypal button code pasted in, even though it isn’t displaying, and upload it to a server? ---
