How do I add a donation paypal link on my website?

After installing WP on a website how do you then add a "Return to Website" link?

  • This one has me stumped. I have looked at adding a Page titled "Return to Website" but that would require two clicks: first click takes you to the page itself where you then find a second link marked "Click through to main website." Terrible. I have also explored the widget route but can't figure out how to do it. If I add the Links widget it comes with multiple items. Is there a widget that allows the addition of one single solitary hyperlink? I would like to install a simple "Return to Website" link at the top of the left sidebar. If anyone has an elegant solution for enabling visitors to return from the blog to the website, I'd love to hear it. For people who don't understand the difference between a website and blog, trust me on this, they are two entirely different things, I just added a WP blog to an existing site and the navigation system in WP can't handle a link to an html page.

  • Answer:

    Do you mean that you're using Wordpress with a static main page and a separate blog page? The easiest (and usually enabled out of the box) way to navigate back and forth is via a navigation bar at the top of the page with links to all your main pages. Like Jim, I'm not sure I understood the question properly.

Here's an easy solution: Install the plugin "Page Links To". Click add a new page. Name the page "Return to website" or whatever you want. On the bottom, there should be a line that reads "Point to this URL:" Change it to whatever you want, and publish the page.

As I understand it you want to have a way for visitors to return to a website from a blog.  This seems to mean you have a static homepage set up perhaps without a sidebar.  For instance in theme twenty twelve you can choose a homepage template that does not have a sidebar.  This way it has a website look and feel with just pages across the top but no sidebar.  You can have a custom navigation menu across the top that lists your website style (not blog style) homepage as Home.  Then you can add the blog to the custom menu across the top.  Visitors click on Blog in the menu across the top or click on Home in the menu across the top.  To do this create a custom menu for the horizontal navigation bar. First add a category called Blog and click to add that category to all your blog posts. Then Go to Appearance, Menus, name it, save it, choose it from the box on the left as your nav menu, save it, then click to add the pages such as Home and the categories such as Blog to the horizontal menu bar.  Add any other ones you want too such as contact or about.  The top menu stays the same wherever someone is on the site so they can get back to the Home website type page or go to the Blog.  Hope this answers the question.  There is a tutorial for it at http://studiomediacam.com/static-homepages-homepages-create/add-blog-to-static-homepage-website-using-custom-horizontal-navigation-menu/

I'm not 100% sure I am following your question, but you could always use the "Text" widget to add the HTML code for a link into your sidebar.
