 * I have a plugin (Wp Affiliate Manager). I want to change the wording on one of
   the rendered pages to include a link to PayPal sign up. The wording is in an 
   html file and looks like this:
 * `<p><?php _e( 'The following information will be used to disburse payments when
   your account reaches the minimum payout amount.', 'affiliates-manager' ) ?></
   p>`
 * I simply want to change the wording and add a hyperlink like this:
 * `<p><?php _e( 'Disbursement payments are only made through PayPal. Please provide
   the the email address associated with your PayPal account which we will use to
   disburse payments when your account reaches the minimum payout amount. If you
   do not have a PayPal account, you will need to <a href=“https://www.paypal.com/”
   target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> sign up for a PayPal account.</a> 
   Don’t worry, it’s easy.’, ‘affiliates-manager' ) ?></p>`
 * Try as I may, the href does not work. When I click on the link to PayPal, it 
   opens a page on my website that says “File Not Found”. When I check the page 
   source it shows the link as written above but clicking on the link sends me to:
 * [https://onestretch.com/affiliate-home/“https:/www.paypal.com/](https://onestretch.com/affiliate-home/“https:/www.paypal.com/)
 * I realize that I should consult the plugin maker but I have done that and all
   I get is a link to their documentation which is no help at all.
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * It may be how you pasted it, but it looks like the quotes around the href are“
   smart quotes” rather than “real quotes”.

 * It worked. Thank you. Thank you. I knew it was something very simple but the 
   fact that the plugin developers couldn’t (wouldn’t) take the time figure this
   out is distressing.
