If I dont do it they will ban me from google checkout! * All for selling some herbs that are all legal and available in any health store. * Any help would be much appreaciated ! My template has google checkout built into it.

My site is made using wordpress and the code has to go somewhere into the wordpress site and i cant see how to do it even after going to the pages the email recomends so i thought maybe someone might know. My attempts just left a peice of code floating around as words. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667661) * What you sell on your site has nothing to do with the content management system that you are using. WordPress will not “insert” drug related products on your site – although a hacker might. Have you checked to see if your site has been hacked? * Thread Starter [emptyvessal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emptyvessal/) * (@emptyvessal) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667669) * I am not sure you understand what I am asking. Google has asked me to insert some code into my webpage to show “google checkout not available for this product” * My site is made with wordpress. the code needs to go into one of the pages to show this button to people trying to buy things using google checkout. But I do not know how/where to put the code they asked to do this. And since my page is made in wordpress I thought this would be the place to ask. * As for drug related products i dont sell any its google being stupid , i did a search and found they also told another company they couldnt sell Sage (sage and onion stuffing etc ) and they had to impliment the same code. * [fonglh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fonglh/) * (@fonglh) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667676) * You’ll have to modify your theme.

I have just sent them mail hope this can be sorted i might just ditch google checkout seems they are rather narrow minded and have strange ideas about what you can or cant sell * Thread Starter [emptyvessal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emptyvessal/) * (@emptyvessal) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667686) * Its not a plugin the theme i have seems to have a few payment options built in like paypal, bank transfer, checkout2, worldpay etc etc + google checkout * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667690) * Then you’ll have to wait for Templatic to get back to you. Only they know how the theme is generating the Google base feed. In the meantime, suspend Google checkout. * Thread Starter [emptyvessal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emptyvessal/) * (@emptyvessal) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667728) * Just got a reply they wont help with changing anything to do with the checkout guess im stuffed then. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667733) * Just drop Google Checkout? * [Aaron Brazell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technosailor/) * (@technosailor) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667969) * /edited… nevermind * Thread Starter [emptyvessal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emptyvessal/) * (@emptyvessal) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-code-for-google-checkout/#post-2667970) * After sending alot of angry emails to google they have now reinstated my google checkout and given me the money they owed me so it seems you can get google to play nice if you have the time to send a few emails .
