Jan. 19th, 2012 10:12 amSo, apparently all the PayPal buttons I've been using-- including my customized Tip Jar icon-- have been taking people to login pages rather than payment pages. I made the buttons and deposited the html code into WordPad for easy access. (sometimes. The Tip Jar I'm using for my "Frozen" project is working right. But the SAME code from the SAME WordPad isn't working on my Free Sketch Day post. wtf?)
Based on what FIXES this problem, the fact that PayPal is linking to my "secure merchant ID" instead of my email address is what's causing the problem. If I change the option to link to my email address, the link goes where it's supposed to.
I can't, however, figure out how to make that the default option. So it looks like I may have to log into PayPal and fix it every time I post it. Grrr.
I'll have to start testing it every time I post it, just to make sure. The icon on my Character Art Days post is fixed; going to fix the one from Free Sketch Day too just in case.
ETA: Okay, I think, MAYBE, that I've fixed it.
