  • Hello,

    You could achieve what you want with a Widget management plugin like This I suppose. You just add different widgets for every price you want lets say and adjust the display options to the pages you want for each.

    I hope this helps a bit.

    If you want to put a paypal button next to specific products, then you’re probably better of putting the button code directly in the page/post, rather than in a widget. The whole idea about a widget is that it will be repeated on every page of your site.
    If you want to position the button in some special way, then you may use CSS for this.
    An even funkier way: You could have a widget where you put your paypal button with no price included in a named div element, and then you could add an onload event in the post/page, where you via javascript attempt to update the content of that button div…

    1. if you go back and read the post you will see simply adding the raw html did not work in the page post. I got a link that was unclickable I said that and that is why I did what I did with the widge,

    and as to the method you describe it is absolutely useless because I have not the knowledge needed for it. Thank you for absolutely nothing.

    Xenos, how do I do that?
    Thank you.

    Hello again,

    The ‘this’ button on my previous post was a link to a plugin you probably missed it. Again you can install something like this -> https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/widget-options/ in your WordPress and adjust your widgets accordingly to any page you like.

    Basically the idea is to create X ammount of widgets for each price you want and hide / show the one you need in each one of the pages.

    For more you’ll have to read how the plugin works or even find a similar one that might suit you better.

    1. if you go back and read the post you will see simply adding the raw html did not work in the page post. I got a link that was unclickable I said that and that is why I did what I did with the widge,

    To be honest, I don’t see this information in your initial post.

    If the reason you want to put some paypal button in a widget, but still belong to only one page, is that you simply didn’t manage to get a clickable button inside a page or post, then perhaps it might be easier to solve that issue about a non-clickable button?

    Can you copy and paste the html you tried to use inside your page for the button?
    After you’ve pasted it, remember to select the code and click on the code button above.

    and as to the method you describe it is absolutely useless because I have not the knowledge needed for it. Thank you for absolutely nothing.

    Until further notice, I’ll pretend that I didn’t see this. Bear in mind that the people who are helping here:

    • are volunteering their own time to help other people;
    • don’t know much history about you and your situation. Except for what is visible from the question, we need to guess what might be appropriate.

    My first suggestion was to simply put the html code for the button inline in your page. That’s not hard. We can help you troubleshoot your code if you share it. The rest was about how you still could make it look a bit more like a widget, in case that would be important to you.

    @mdimguy – You were doing fine until this:

    Thank you for absolutely nothing.

    As @tobifjellner said, volunteer support here is not easy. Being sarcastic, belittling or using other derogatory language are some of the easiest ways to (a) turn volunteers away from helping you, and (2) getting your account placed on mod-watch.

    Please be respectful of those trying to help you. Thanks.
