    Hi

    I hope you can help.

    I am trying to add paypal buttoms to one of my mu blogs. The code is
    < form and < input etc. I therefore installed the plugin unfiltered mu (at my own risk) because the code was stripped.

    Well, the code was not stripped any more but the paypal button is not displayed visually.

    I then took the paypal button code and dumped it into a single wordpress install that I have and it all worked well.

    Any idea of what may be the cause for this and how I can correct it?

    Blocked: Porn site. Gotta love my library. (Probably because of the *.info TLD)

    Can someone else please check? My proxy isn't displaying any images currently.

    Sorry can't help.

    The above is what I saw. Could it be wrong placement of the commenting code <!-- --> which striped off part of the paypal code? Maybe you can show us what is the full code you use?

    You have to paste the code in the HTML tab, not via the Visual editor.

    @hotohori @andrea_r I have given up on trying to get it to work on MU.

    BTW: @andrea_r I have added this code to a single install WP site and it worked.

    Because WP is so easy to install! I have decided to stop trying to get it to work on MU.

    Another reason: I want to use a membership plugin and the pro ones ask more for the MU version. Make sense. But not for me as only want to use it on one blog.

    There is a big difference between WP and WPMU.

    If on your own WP site you put in HTML that hijacks/breaks your site then that's your business.

    If you are running WPMU you don't want someone else putting code into their blog which could compromise your entire site - so WPMU is a lot more "paranoid" over things like that.

    I've pasted paypal code in blog posts in mu before. :)
