Placeholder Widget works on one page but not another

I am trying to put a Paypal widget script on my website. It works on one page, but not another. Why won't it show up wherever I insert it? Is there something maybe blocking it?

Hi

How are you inserting the PayPal widget script and what does it do?

Are you using an online ecommerce provider, eg Ecwid, Waazala or other 3rd party store/online shop - if so which one?

I am using a rectangle box and then right click and choose web properties/placeholder settings and mark replace with HTML code (Body) and copying the code into that, selecting regenerate and publish. Nothing would show on the page I wanted to insert it on in between two other text boxes. I tried it on an add-on page and it worked fine there but not on the page I need it on.

The code is wording and a link to Paypal credit options. We are not using ecommerce. Paypal had specific codes for ecommerce pages but that's not what I used. Thanks for you help John!

Hi

. . . . Nothing would show on the page I wanted to insert it on in between two other text boxes . . . .

Do the text boxes have coloured backgrounds, including white, and their frames overlap the placeholder.

Check that the placeholder is on the correct layer on the page ie in the Mouse off layer- see example below, the placeholder is for the PayPal code.

result:

HTH
