I've been reading posts all over the internet and can't find why this doesn't work. The button shows up but when clicked, nothing happens.
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="SAPH6EFHYC7A2">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">

I am having the same problem. In the HTML edit mode the button works, but once I exit edit mode and click on the button I just reload the page I am on.
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" />

Hello!
Thanks for reaching out to us here! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with your donation buttons. Please keep in mind that you must have a business PayPal account in order to use a donate button. If you are currently using a personal account then you would need to upgrade the account first. If you have any trouble, please reach out to us through one of our customer service channels and we'd be happy to further assist!
I hope this helps!
