 * I want to insert a paypal button. I have the code generated and it works fine
   on another wordpress site I run (different theme). When I paste the code onto
   a page in Yoko, when I hit update, the code gets rewritten/shortened and doesn’t
   work. I have tried this in both chrome and safari browsers.

 * Are you pasting it into the visual editor or switching between editors? That 
   will cause problems…it’s best to avoid switching until you’ve saved any changes
   to the page.

 * I stick to the text editor entirely – I have probably tried this 15 times – the
   code always gets chewed up.

 * Oh geez, just noticed that your site is on WordPress.COM – so you’re in the wrong
   forums entirely 🙂 – you need to post here:
 * [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/)
 * These forums here are for self-hosted sites WP.ORG sites – not the same but easily
   and often confusing! Sorry it took us a while to notice it.
