How to center Paypal button in Wordpress

[fromrachel]

I am setting up a Wp single page and generated a Paypal button, I have codes from Paypal and inserted on the page. But the problem is although its centered in Wordpress editor but when viewing on my browser it still shows the buttons on the left hand side. Is there an html code I'm missing or something to make Paypal button center on my WordPress page?

Try inserting the PayPal code in between center tags...

<center>
</center>

Do this in view source mode.

CSS is your friend.
Use the browser's Inspect function to find the element in page source.
Use "margin: auto" on the button element, or "text-align: center" on the div containing the button.
With CSS you can also easily control the padding (space around the element) and many other things.

CSS is easy to learn, very powerful and extremely useful!
Styling in html works too, but it is so 1998 Every webmaster should know and be able to use basic CSS! The best way to learn it is to start with simple things, like centering.

Wordpress editor can remove any HTML tags after you edited your posts. Note on that!

There are a few way to center Paypal button in Wordpress as following.

Adding

<center></center> around your Paypal button.

Creating a div with this code: <div style="text-align:center;">Your Paypal button</div> or <div style="margin: 0px auto;">Your Paypal button</div>

You can replace style="" with a class="" into a CSS file to make your code more professional.


Hope that helped.

Hey there! PayPal gives you the HTML code that you can use your web page so that you can start receiving online payments. By default, this code produces a button which places at left-side on your page. you can center the button yourself with some CSS code. The CSS code can change the PayPal button, centering it on the page without changing its functionality.
/* center Paypal button */
input.wpedon_paypalbuttonimage {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}

This will not work!

You must add !important to the CSS code

/* center Paypal button */
input.wpedon_paypalbuttonimage {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto!important;
}

The only time you need !important is if you have a css conflict and have to override another css declaration. It's better to design css so you don't need to use !important at all.

Most likely in the paypal button case it would not be needed.

Use the center tags to bring the button in the center of the page.
