Cannot display Paypal buttons

    I have taken over the maintenance of a WordPress site in which CDs for sale are listed with UPC. The text describing each item has code for a PayPal button, which I can copy from the editor to an HTML file and it displays correctly.
    When the item is viewed in WordPress, however, the PayPal button is not there.
    “View source” in the browser shows that the entire HTML FORM element is absent.
    I’m currently running the latest version 5.1.4. on WP 5.9.3.
    I believe this has worked before, with earlier versions of UPC, but I don’t have accurate history so can’t be sure.
    Do HTML forms get filtered out of product descriptions, or is there some simple thing I’ve missed to enable it? Toggling the “Sale Mode Enabled” switch (whatever that does) made no difference.
    Sorry if this seems a stupid question – I’m familiar with HTML, CSS, PHP and databases but though I host some WordPress sites which their owners mostly maintain, I don’t know WordPress and its plugins well myself.

    Hello treewind,

    For security reasons, we escape most HTML?code (other than basic tags/elements) before it is displayed, in case any malicious content gets added?to?your products.

    That being said, we’ve designed a templating system that allows you to modify the front-end output in a non-destructive manner, by creating your own version of templates files in your child theme. For more info about this and instructions, you can see here: https://doc.etoilewebdesign.com/plugins/ultimate-product-catalog/developer/

    By modifying/creating your own version of a template, you can adjust the catalog page template to accept the tags you want.

    Thank you, that makes sense and is the sort of thing I expected, just didn’t know how to get round it. Thanks for the link to instructions and I’ll let you know how I get on!
