 * I’m trying to insert a paypal button to show only on one page. I did it successfully
   with one theme, now, I’m using grey opaque theme, but it’s not working. I’m not
   sure what I’m doing wrong. the page id is 5, so here’s the code.
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !is_page(5) ) : else : ?>
   
       				<div class="paypal">
       				<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
       -- paypal code goes here ---
       </form>
   
       				</div> <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * Try:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_page(5) ) :?>
       <div class="paypal">
       <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
       -- paypal code goes here ---
       </form></div> <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * I think the paypal code is correct. it’s working perfect on another site. I believe
   the cause should be on what comes before:
    if(!dynamic_sidebar(‘primary-widget-
   area’)) : ?> I’ve never been able to understand what that means
