 * I’m having some trouble with a PayPal code. I enter it into the text as provided
   on the PayPal site:
 * <form action=”[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221);
   method=”post” target=”_top”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”
   > <input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”UBKNCLFFXWHME”> <table>
   <tr><td><input type=”hidden” name=”on0″ value=”Ticket Options”>Ticket Options
   </td></tr><tr><td><select name=”os0″> <option value=”Single”>Single $150.00 USD
   </option> <option value=”Couple”>Couple $300.00 USD</option> </select> </td></
   tr> </table> <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD”> <input type
   =”image” src=”[https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221);
   border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>
   <img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”[https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221);
   width=”1″ height=”1″> </form>
 * When I press “Update” on WordPress, it changes the code to:
 * <form action=”[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221);
   method=”post” target=”_top”><input name=”cmd” type=”hidden” value=”_s-xclick”/
   >
    <input name=”hosted_button_id” type=”hidden” value=”UBKNCLFFXWHME” /></form
   > <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><input name=”on0″ type=”hidden” value=”Ticket Options”/
   >Ticket Options</td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name=”os0″> <option value=”Single”
   >Single $150.00 USD</option> <option value=”Couple”>Couple $300.00 USD</option
   > </select></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <input name=”currency_code” type=”hidden”
   value=”USD” /> <input alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!” name
   =”submit” src=”[https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221);
   type=”image” /> <img src=”[https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221);
   alt=”” width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ />
 * I can see that the </form> jumps up, and I’m assuming that is why the button 
   is not working properly on the site and that the border=”0″ also moves, but I
   cannot figure out why it is changing when I update!
 * Help is appreciated!

 * Hi Emily,
 * WP tends to filter out HTML in the edit screen of a post.
 * I would highly recommend you create a template and paste the Paypal code in there.
   This way, the code cannot be changed, it is hardcoded in the template.

 * Hope this helps 🙂

 * The link above is creating a template using a plugin, which is not really needed.
   Take a lot at
