FAQ

A: The product’s page contains detailed information about each contact form field and customization:

https://cfpaypal.dwbooster.com

A: At the end of the file “cp_contactformpp_public_int.inc.php” replace this:

    <?php _e($button_label); ?>

… by this:

    <img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" />

You may also want to change the background color of the button with the CSS style class=”pbSubmit”.

A: New: Use the “throubleshoot area” to change the character encoding. If you prefer to do that manually , in most cases the problem is located in the database table collation/encoding. The solution is to change the table encoding to UTF-8. You can do that from the PHPMyAdmin provided by your hosting service.

For example, if your WordPress database table prefix is “wp_” (the default one) then run these queries (will update only the PayPal contact form tables):

alter table wp_cp_contact_form_paypal_discount_codes convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; alter table wp_cp_contact_form_paypal_settings convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; alter table wp_cp_contact_form_paypal_posts convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci;

If you don’t know how to do that, contact our support service and we will help you.
