Donation option is not working for me

  • Hello Mohsin,
    Thank you very much for this plugin. It really simplifies adding basic Paypal features to a site. Nice.

    I have an issue I have not been able to resolve. Not sure if it is a bug or my ignorance causing it. The site is a standard 3.5.1 installation.

    I have tried the following short-codes:

    [paypal_button type=”donations” name=”Donation for event” amount_prompt=”1″ currency=”USD”]

    ** Results in what looks like a missing image placeholder. When I click on that placeholder, it takes me to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

    If I am logged into Paypal, that link generates the following error from Paypal:
    “You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.”

    If I am not logged it, Paypal tells me I need to log in to view the link. But then it just takes me to the default PP user page. Or it might say “Your session has timed out, please log in again.”

    I have also tried:
    [paypal_button type=”donations” currency=”USD” amount=””]

    … and numerous other combinations.

    The PAYNOW option works fine.

    I will post this message on the WordPress support system too, because that way I will more clearly know when you have responded.

    Thank you very much,

    Jonathan

    Please use “donate” or “donation” in the type attribute (i.e. without “s”). Secondly, I did not get any PayPal error or warning. Perhaps it is somehow connected to same “s”
