So, apparently, you cannot put the code for websites on a Wordpress website. Thank you all for your help. I was able to find out why I wasn't able to have the button work here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/get-paypal-button-code/ hopefully, someone else reads this so that they don't have the headache (all be it minor) I had with the button.

I'm sorry to be a pain. Just when I think I have all the answers I need, I find another issue to ask about. I put in the button and ran a test to see if the link works. The only thing that happens is a blank page opens up with "about:blank" in the browser. What am I doing wrong? I found this link, which actually allows me to do what I would like: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/get-started/create-recurring-donation-button I would like to add a text box that allows people to put the designation for their donation (which I think I know how to do). I just don't know why I am not able to "test drive" the button. It isn't making sense.

Thanks again. I think that programming is beyond me at the moment. I will just keep it simple. I do suppose that I could change the button image to be that of "Donate" as opposed to "Subscribe" as we don't really have a subscription and people are donating to our charity. I guess I would change the line that reads: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> to read: <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!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> Is that right?

One more question for clarification: I change the line that reads: <input type="hidden" name="a3" value=“10.00"> so that it reads: <input type="text" name="a3" value=“ "> ? Could my custom dropdown look like this?: <select name="a3">
<option value="5">$5</option>
<option value="10">$10</option>
<option value="50">$50</option> <option value="text">Your Choice</option>
</select>

Thank you, so much. I guess that I then copy and paste all of the unprotected code into a document to edit it. Then apply it to the website. Is it possible to edit the drop down menu that you provided so that it gives options as well as a custom amount for people?

Is it possible to set up a subscribe button that allows for the person to enter in the amount they wish? We are a small charity that has a few people who have asked for a recurring donation option. One person has even asked to be able to donate an amount outside of a typical donation. For example: "Option 1 - $50" "Option 2 - $100" "Option 3 - Custom Amount"
