    Hi,

    My page: http://www.superbusyfit.com
    I am looking to add a paypal support button at the top right of my header.

    This previous support thread was I thought answering my need, so i gave it a go:
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-a-add-a-hyperli:ked-image-at-the-top-of-my-newscast-blog/
    I want more or less the same layout as he has on http://stubstory.com

    Here is what I have tried. This code was added at the end of parent theme Header.php – and this is where I am probably wrong but couldn’t find the line to add it under (mentioned in previous thread)

    I have also added to the end of the css file
    .paypal_support_button {position: absolute;top: 60px;right: 30px;}

    Right now the css is still there as it does not cause any trouble but i took the code to be added to header.php out as it was adding a ? kind of image at the bottom left of the header..
    I have tried moving the logo to the left +facebook social link to teh left as well of the header but it did not work. I just have everything back centered now just for layout purposes.

    Also see in private content le paypal link I wan to be added- as i do not see how previous piece of code in the header can add something else than the picture once it works?

    Thank you for your help once more

    Hi valmil!

    Add this to the bottom of your functions.php file in your Enfold/Enfold child theme folder

       function add_paypal_button_script(){

        $paypal_button = "<a class="paypal-donate-button" href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=65CRVDD3LGLZN">Donate to Paypal</a>";
        echo $paypal_button;
        
    }
    add_action('ava_main_header', 'add_paypal_button_script');

    Add this to Quick CSS or custom.css:

    #header_main .paypal-donate-button{
  
  /*Add your button styles here*/
  float: right;
  margin-right: 100px;
  
}

    Tweek the style to place the paypal button in the right position.

    Cheers!

    Hi Arvish,

    I got what I now understand the “WordPress White Screen of Death” as soon as I went to add you code to the functions.php.

    This was this morning (over 12hours ago) and I first thought it was a server issue. left it rest then went back to check…
    Then I did some research and found this page from WP:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors

    This made me realise what I was doing went that happened…first time I get that white page! It looks like your code is not working properly…and we would need another solution.
    Could you please help me to fix this as I am afraid to mess thing up more than they are?

    Please note I have a recent copy of the site xml (less than 24hrs before the crash) so it is fine ;-)
    I will send you my ftp in private.

    Thank you for helping me fixing this, I have no clue how to do this.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Ismael- thank you for your answer- but as I cannot access my WP due to this error where do I go ?

    I am not a coder or developer, and it is the first time I get a white page like this and do not want to mess things up.
    if I try to access it with ftp (filezilla)> website folder>wp-content>themes>enfold child>functions.php I cannot open the file.
    How can I fix it and have it back where it was????

    this is a really messed up :-((
    My page has been done for 2 days now and I cannot work on it. :-(((

    How can I access my WP again?
    Please heeeeelp
    Thank you.

    Hey!

    I hope you have made a backup. If yes, just delete everything via ftp and upload your backup files. Don’t forget to also upload the backup of your database.

    Best regards,
    Andy

    Hey guys!

    I had to upload enfold child again- i did (finally!) manage through my host ftp interface – for some reason filezilla doesn’t let me access any file, well anyway doesn’t matter, found a way around…
    Back to this thread issue…

    Ismael, could you resend the code you had modified…the link you pasted above is not active anymore :-(
    thank you.

    Hey!

    Please use this:

    function add_paypal_button_script(){

	$paypal_button = '<a class="paypal-donate-button" href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=65CRVDD3LGLZN">Donate to Paypal</a>';
	echo $paypal_button;

}
add_action('ava_main_header', 'add_paypal_button_script');

    The only mistake on the code is the single quotation.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
