the white bars (circled in red) are the bars I want to get rid of.

I have also tried to use the unicode for this button: here.

If none of these are doable, is there a way to put a paypal donate button with paypal’s provided html/icon?

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="XXGDJXA3V39TS">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

I’d prefer the font awesome icon because the paypal button is kinda ugly
but y’know whatever works.

Unrelated, but I’m thinking of upgrading to the pro theme because it has a store and is generally awesome: would I lose all of my work and have to start over (with the customization?)

Thanks!

Okay, I have my child theme. I’ve got my ftp client, I found the css.xml . However, I’m not sure how to edit it to add the etsy and patreon icons.

1) What program do I use?
2) where would I need to store the icon jpgs or what have you?
3) what code would I have to put in?

Sorry, I’m really terrible at this stuff. Trying to figure it out!

I saw this post http://themepalace.com/topic/font-awesome-and-the-social-menu-500px-and-other-logos/ from earlier, and then looked up the info on how to create a child theme, but I can’t seem to find the /wp-content folder even under my hosting service. 🙁

Nevermind, figured it out. I have other issues but I imagine you’d want me to start a different post for that?

It does help, thank you! If I wanted to add drop down options under categories, how would one go about that?
