issue resolved, see above message – thanks for all of the help..

Thanks so much, I was able to play around with it some more and got it working, the issue with the time ended up being the ACF field not being in the correct display format. Here is what I used to pull in the ACF field information:

startTime=”<?php echo the _field(‘event_start_time’); ?>”

I try your suggestion (see below), but the results are the same. Only the first word of the tile shows up.

name=<? php echo ‘”‘ . the_title() . ‘”‘; ?>

Here’s the test page I am just trying it out on – https://www.hampsteadbc.org/test/

Not sure how to put the debug attribute to the tag, but will try if you have an example. Thanks..

After some further research, I started from scratch with a fresh WordPress and theme install and issue appears to have been resolved.

Scott – is this something they only allow with 3rd Party Plugins? Currently the client is able to create the embed codes through their PayPal account for quarterly and semi-annually options. So I wasn’t sure if this is something they only have as an option with their provided coding or they have it locked down for plugins.

thanks @scottpaterson that’s really awesome for you to have added that feature. This will simplify the process for the new site.

Thanks for the response, it may or may not be something other’s would use. In my case – I am developing a website where they accept donations for surgery and general needs sponsorships for children with special needs. Each child has their own dedicated page, which would have the PayPal link on. They have quite a few children and rather then creating a separate button for each, I could have it populate the shortcode with the children’s name automatically using a PHP format of the shortcode. This way when it takes them to Paypal the purpose or name is something like – “Surgery – James”

Hope that gives a general idea.. Again – may not be useful for others, just thought I would ask the question.
