HTML not working in blog

  • Version 3.8.5

    I can’t get my HTML to show up once I publish the blog post. I inserted it into the text section correctly. When I click back to visual, I see it perfectly. But once I click to update the blog, and view the post, its not there. Everything I can find googling says how to enter it correctly, which I did as proven by it showing up in the visual side, but nothing about it disappearing when you go to publish.

    When I go back to edit (after viewing the published post), its no longer there in the visual side. Some of the code is still there in the text side, but not everything.

    The specific code is for a paypal donate button. The blog purpose is fundraising, so I need to be able to insert this donate button onto every page. Here is the code:
    <form action=”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=”NTS37CVLLJ72Q”>
    <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_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; width=”1″ height=”1″>
    </form>

    When I go back to edit after having published, this is all thats left of the code in the text section:
    <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post” target=”_top”><img alt=”” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221; width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ />

    </form>

    Please help! Thank you.

    If it would be better for me to start a new thread at this point, thats fine. This one could be closed/resolved. But previously when I started a different thread for a topic that originally came up under this one it was closed, so I don’t want to do the wrong thing.

    Why do you want to create a new thread?

    Because this thread is about the html, and the html issue is over. It wasn’t exactly solved, but it was bypassed. Now I’m needing help with sidebars. Which was a topic in this thread, but the individual who brought it up hasn’t been back. So, to get help on sidebars, it makes sense to start a thread on sidebars.

    Lin, you will need to go to the sidebar page in the backend and drop in your code in a widget. Then you will need to go to the blog page in the backend also and make sure it is using a page template that utilizes sidebars.

    If you want to discuss a new issue then it is fine to create a new thread.
