September 10, 2010 This is a really useful function that will allow you to use a shortcode to easily add a donation link as you’re writing a post. If you often take donations, add this to your theme’s functions.php file to make the shortcode available for use at any time:
function donate_shortcode( $atts ) { extract(shortcode_atts(array( 'text' => 'Make a donation', 'account' => 'REPLACE ME', 'for' => '', ), $atts)); global $post; if (!$for) $for = str_replace(" "," ",$post->post_title); return '<a class="donateLink" href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business='.$account.'&item_name=Donation for '.$for.'">'.$text.'</a>'; } add_shortcode('donate', 'donate_shortcode');
You can replace the text with your own and also replace the account section with your PayPal email address. Now when you’re writing a page or post, you can add the shortcode:
[donate]
You’ll get a link automatically added to your post, as shown below:

Pingback: How to Add A Paypal Donation Shortcode button to your posts « graphicbeacon
Hi Sarah,
I like the code you gave but I added some slight adjustments, making use of the inbuilt $content variable and added a title attribute to the link. You can see this here:
