Adding an APLOS Donate button to a managed WordPress site

January 18, 2019

The blog post describes how to add an APLOS donate button to a managed WordPress site hosted by GoDaddy. The key challenges were:

1. WordPress strips out <script> tags from HTML widgets

2. The APLOS donate button requires a JavaScript snippet

Solution Steps

• Used the "Scripts n Styles" WordPress plugin to globally add the JavaScript

• Added a link tag in the footer HTML widget

• Bypassed WordPress's script stripping by using the plugin to insert the script

"I occasionally help out with a website for a nonprofit, which is hosted by GoDaddy running on their managed WordPress platform."

The post provides a practical tutorial for web administrators dealing with restricted WordPress environments and third-party donation integration.
