I have tried inserting a Paypal "donate" button into my posts. It looks OK in edit mode but when I publish it comes out all distorted - stretched horizontally to several times its proper width.
Any ideas?
Paypal button coming out all distorted (10 posts)

The distortion is coming from:
input, textarea { -moz-background-clip:border; -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous; -moz-background-origin:padding; background:#FFFFFF url(img/bg-form-input.png) repeat-x scroll left top; border:medium none; color:#5D5D5D; height:23px; margin:0 0 20px; padding:7px 5px 0; width:50%; }in your stylesheet. It's the
width:50%;that causing the problem.When you use PayPal button script, try changing:
<form method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" style="text-align: center;">to
<form method="post" class="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" style="text-align: center;">Then add:
.paypal input {width:auto;}to the bottom of style.css.

Posted 1 month ago #I'm sorry to intrude, but due to inadequate instructions ande general geekish procedures found on WordPress, I cannot start a forum or discussion question. I have to piggy-back on someone else's. I'm terribly sorry. I tried.
Today, suddenly, Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009, I cannot work my own WordPress dashboard. I'm trying to edit a post (two days old--I found a misspelled word), and when I press "update", I get a window in the middle of the screen that says my website host "Magic" requires a user name and password! I won't accept any I have or use.
Sounds like a virus or something to me. I've never seen it before. Here is the quote in the window:
The server http://www.badeagle.com at Magic requires a username and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
Since WordPress is please to have no communication with customers, can any fellow user help me understand what to do here? I've never seen this before.
Thanks.

Posted 1 month ago #http://www.badeagle.com is hosted by BlueHost. I don't know what "Magic" is, nor does BlueHost, whom I've already called.
What is "MAGIC"? What does it have to do with WordPress, and why is this interference window just now popping up, Sunday, October 11, 2009? I've never seen it before.

Perhaps you simply have not taken the time to learn how. There is nothing difficult about posting your own question.
Sounds like a virus or something to me. I've never seen it before. Here is the quote in the window:
It may be wise to pursue that possibility first. You are after all, running a version of WordPress that has been identified as insecure for quite some time.
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.7" />

WordPress is free. I also believe that everyone in the forum is a volunteer. The word customer does not apply in the sense that you have any service due to you. Like the rest of us, you can take some time, learn how to use the forum, learn how to search the forum, and learn about keeping WordPress updated and secure.
Here are the results of a forum search I did using your symptom:
"Magic requires a username and password"
Maybe someone has had a similar experience that you can read about.

Posted 1 month ago #Well, Thank you, Mr.James. I paid a man to create my website for me, precisely because I have no aptitude for following instructions given by others. (A bad habit I formed due to a bad algebra teacher in highschool.)
I shall look at your link. I thank you again for your response. This is absolutely maddening. I think it is a code break down of some kind. This is a new version, of Word Press, just since January, 2009. Is it that broken down already?

There have actually been 6 (I believe) versions/security updates for WordPress published and made available for download and upgrading since your version was installed. The change-logs can tell you what the updated releases were intended for.
It can indeed seem frustrating if you are the type of individual who prefers to simply add content and pay attention to the daily things on the front end. There is nothing at all wrong with doing that. It is unfortunate however, that the individual who got paid, did not advise you on some of the regular maintenance and and security upkeep that is required.
Any software that is exposed to the web (especially very popular software such as WordPress), becomes a regular target for people who look to take advantage of others. WordPress is a high opportunity target for people who wish to do bad things because it is so widely used and runs on server side applications that are often the target of exploitation themselves, if an improperly configured server is discovered. Once an exploit is identified, it can generally be found published on the internet almost immediately. Anyone with less than honorable intentions a few minutes to kill can download a script, set it loose, and start looking for WordPress blogs that have not yet been upgraded. For those who don't upgrade to close the holes, this can be problematic. It makes their site a target. This is not a symptom of just WordPress. All blogging and content management software face the same issues in one form or another. The fact that WordPress provides regular and timely responses to those threats says a lot about WordPress and the WordPress community.
Here are some things that might be informative as well as helpful for the future.
Best Wishes.
