MyBB Community Forums

Hello. I posted a paypal donate button code as a forum post. The button appears, but on clicking the paypal site gives an error "unable to decrypt certificate id". The same code works if I use it on a normal webpage; but doesn't work as a MyBB post. Would appreciate if someone can point out how to do it. The code is below

Because PayPal uses large encrypted strings, MyBB wordwraps them as it thinks they are normal text. You can see this by looking at the space being inserted essentially right down the middle.

If you wish to use donation codes etc then you need to add them to the template.

Thanks !

For those who face a similar problem - I installed the custom pages mod; the paypal button code works properly in this case

It's only a problem when you try to put the code into a message post. It's not an issue if you put it in the template, as Chris mentioned.

Yea i created a template in the portal section and have it as a block on my portal page,works fine for me.
