Using shortcode in header action button

mafgibson

Hi guys, I'd like to use a shortcode to purchase a service on the action button in the header. I want the button to redirect people to PayPal to purchase a service. I'm using the plugin wp-paypal.

I'm using [wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="1.00"]

Unfortunately it looks like the link can only be a url. Is there anyway to change this or is there a workaround to enter the shortcode in the header then style it using css?

Any help would be great and awesome theme!

Hi,

Sorry, but we did not test this script/plugin with the theme. Our policy states that we do not support third party plugins or custom code so unfortunately, we cannot be of any help to you.
Also, we cannot recommend any plugins other than the ones we support. You can find the list on this page, in the sidebar:

Hi Pablo, thanks for getting in touch :-)

I guess what I'm asking is can I insert a text box in the header so I can insert some html.

Cheers

No, you cannot do it at all.

This is due to Envato new security changes which we have to follow. From
now on you cannot use HTML markup in most of Theme options. Fields that
previously accepted HTML now only accept plain text.
Only basic HTML tags like strong and u are working. Read more about the changes here:

But, you can always use the Muffin Header Builder, it allows you to create more advanced headers, see the topic here:
