 * Hi,
    Has anybody set up a ‘form action = post’ in WP? My last site was .NET and
   I’m struggling to work out how to add a link/button that takes the user to our
   PayPal account.
 * Thanks
    Brian.

 * Would you want it in one of your posts or on the sidebar?? Where on your site
   would help a bit…

 * Sorry, I hadn’t thought of that – it will be in a static page…
 * Thanks

 * i think you should go to paypal.com and make a button from there and copy and
   paste the code they generate on your site?
 * Hope this helps

 * did it work?
 * Another thing you can do is copy and paste the paypal code into your sidebar:
 * (for latest WP version) go to Appearance>widget
    click on text: add it to your
   sidebar on the right. Open the text box on your right and paste the code from
   Paypal Save it.
 * (for older versions) go to Design>widgets
    follow steps above.
 * the changes should show up.
 * Hope this helps.

 * I have added forms to my sidebar, but i am struggling to add forms to my main
   posts/pages… including PayPal, tell-a-friend and detailed information requests…
 * How can I add for actions to WP? Attempting to add the code to my html in a post
   is not working…
 * I am searching Google and the forum for answers but not finding much so far.
 * Thanks!
