Ok -on re-reading my last post I can see that a little bit of extra code has been tacked onto the end of the paypal addresses at the top and bottom when it appears on the forum.
So -I did as you suggested, made a code box and pasted the code in directly from Paypal, clicked ‘update and then ‘preview changes’ and again I got the wrong button layout:

I went back and checked the code -it had not changed. So I added a text box, pasted the code into the code tab and then saved and previewed. Again I got the odd button layout. I closed WordPress and went straight to the actual Test page at https://follies.org.uk/index.php/test/
Now I get two buttons, both correct. So it works this way, but why does the preview show incorrectly? Also, how did you get those button views withthe Endolf logo above them as shown in your naswer? I’ve never seena preview like that.

For some reason you are not able to see my problem, so I will summarize it again and attach a set of screenshots so you can see exactly what is happening, and can copy the original code and paste it into your own software to see if you get the same result:

1) I design a payment button in Paypal
2) This generates a piece of code and shows me what the final design should look like
3) I click on Copy in the Paypal page to copy the code into temporary memory
4) I open my website and go to the relevant page in my case ‘Events’
5) On that page there are two tabs labelled Visual and Code and a large space beneath.
6) With the Code tab selected I right click and select Paste
7) The code is pasted into the space. I look at the code and it it appears correctly
8) I then click on the Visual tab to check the finished button
9) It doesn’t look right. Instead of one button with a drop list of options, I’m getting a lot of separate buttons.
10) I go back to the code tab and notice that the code has changed – I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING AT THIS STAGE, just switched between code and visual tabs. But there are many extra lines that have been added -each item in the drop down list now has an extra <select name=”os0″> and </select> around it . I have messaged WordPress about this, and they tell me that the code tab is part of Enfold and all inputs and outputs to the page are controlled by Enfold, which is why I’m assuming that Enfold is somehow modifying my code.
So, here are the steps visually

So from this I hope you can see that by simply switching between the Code tab and the Visual tab, my code is being changed.and I would like to know why and what I can do to stop this. If you want to try pasting my original code into a test page of your own, then this is the complete chunk of code:

I’ve just upped the max post size to 24Mb and the update ran through smoothly. Everything is now working as it should and I thank you very much for your timely and helpful suggestions.

Ok I just read up on how to make a url for my images:
Try this:

I’ve increassed the upload limit and now when I run the update it says’ ‘The link you followed has expired’ I’ve downloaded the zip file and tried again, but I get the same message.

Thanks for the quick reply. That worked fine.

Thankyou -this works perfectly on the homepage, but not on the others -see for example http://follies.org.uk/index.php/journal/ . Is there somehting in this script I can alter to make it applicable to all pages?

Many thanks -that seems to have cured the problem.

I’ve resolved it now. I found the index.php file had somehow grown to over 200 lines of code. I found an earlier version that was much shorter and copied that over instead. Things are now working as they should.

I’ve attempted to move my site and come unstuck. I’ve followed the instructions in https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory using the section labelled Method II.
So here’s what i’ve done:
Changed the wordpress address on the general settings page to follies.org.uk, omitting the /wp that was in both before. (steps 3 and 4)
Clicked save changes -nothing happened other than the page went blank.
I then moved each of the three wordpress folders from the /wp directory to the root directory.(step 5)
I removed the old index.html file and copied the index.php file to the root. I can’t see the .htaccess through Dreamweaver, so I used the ftp editor in my hosting control panel and found it was already in the root.
I took a copy of index.php and opened it in notepad. I looked for the lines in step 9 but couldn’t find them exactly like that. I found these lines:
/** Load WordPress Bootstrap */
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/admin.php’ );

/** Load WordPress dashboard API */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php’);

Now, I don’t know what to edit. My root is now follies.org.uk but I don’t know which part to type this into. If I type ‘www.follies.org.uk in a browser’ I get taken to the hosts main site. If I try and login to WordPress I just get a blank page that says ‘http://follies.org.uk/wp-login.php&#8217; in the address bar. This is worrying as I can no longer get in, nor give you a login to have a look. I realise that this is really WordPress rather than enfold, so I’ve asked on their forum as well. Any help to get my new website visible again would be much appreciated. I’m rather desparate to see two months solid work come to nothing!
I did spend soem time trying different abckup add-ins until I found one that worked. So I do have a very recent backup, but I can only restore it through the WordPress dashbaord that i can no longer access.

Thankyou! That looks much better now. You may close this query.

Thanks for the suggestions but nothing I could find did what I wanted. However, I have now achieved it using standard WordPress and Enfold features, so I’ll detail it here, in case anyone else wants to do the same.
On my page I added a grid row and set it to five columns wide.
In each column I added a Text box element
I then cloned the row several times to build up my grid.
Then editing the text box I clicked on ‘add media’ , found the image of the front page of the document and then over on the right of the media page added a caption (No1 etc), then further down in the right hand corner it says “attachment display settings”. On the ‘link to’ dropdown, change it to ‘Custom URL’ then in the box below paste in the link to the pdf file.
Then ‘Insert into page’ and that’s it. When you hover over an image the picture changes, and if you click on it the pdf opens up full screen. Just what I wanted!
Here’s the finished page :http://follies.org.uk/wp/index.php/e-bulletin-2/

That had the desired effect.
Many Thanks,

Thanks – I’ve had a look at this but it seems far too complicated for what I need -I can’t see anyhting that looks like a gallery layout in there, nor can I see a way of doing without all the shopping cart stuff -I’m giving this stuff away – just click and download is all I need.
