404 errors

[Ramon]

I'm hoping this is something simple and stupid I missed and I'm just too tired to see it.

I just bought and installed the plugin but can't get the buttons to work. When I click the PayPal button, it takes me to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr but I get a 404 error in IE and simply blank pages in Firefox and Chrome.

I started out with a button with lots of options, a custom graphic, etc. But it does the same thing with the simplest button. Here's the shortcode I'm currently testing:

[nicepaypal type="cart" name="1234"]

Below is the HTML code generated for the button.

I need to get this fixed ASAP or I'll have to find another way to do this.

Thanks for your help.

I figured it out. For some reason, the shortcode can't be the first thing on the page. That was all it was. As soon as I added something before the shortcode, it worked fine.

Weird.

Hi,

I am glad you were able to resolve this matter. Wow, I have never run into this issue with the shortcodes before. It is a weird one for sure. I will look into it. Thanks for the update.
