    I'm trying to change the PayPal currency to GBP from USD. I've partly managed to achieve this already by editing classes.php. However, it will only work as long as long as I don't add a £ sign in front of my prices, i.e. 5.00 will work, £5.00 won't.
    Any help as to how I can solve this issue would be appreciated.

    Hi there, thanks for the reply but that is exactly what I'd already done. As I said, PayPal is now taking payments in GBP, but I can't add a £ sign to my prices. If I do, I get an error saying 'The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.' Thank you.

    Hiya
    I was emailed saying that the theme was going to be updated to allow me to add a £ symbol to the prices. I've updated to the latest version of Figero, but it still seems to be the same, in fact worse. If I don't add a UK currency symbol, then it doesn't automatically add one, and my price (on the button) remains as just numbers. If I do add a currency symbol to my prices, I get the error message 'The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount'. Also, PayPal prices have now changed to USD and I can't seem to get them to show GBP. Am I doing something incorrect? Thanks.
