Comments.Text: Can you add the last as an answer and tick it to close this off? Though i don't quite see why if 'billing address' was required and you filled it in, it should then fail to go to Paypal

Title: Paypal button not linking while using Paypal pro
ThreadText: # Paypal button not linking while using Paypal pro
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-08-19)
  
  We are running CiviCRM version 4.6.3 under Wordpress. We use Paypal Pro for payments. We created an Event registration and the registration page shows a Paypal button and the text:
  
  "If you have a PayPal account, you can click the PayPal button to continue. "
  
  but the Paypal button does not link to Paypal, but simply acts like the "Continue" button​, giving an error that the credit card info has not been filled out.
  
  This only happens with Event registration. With contributions, the same button goes to Paypal as it should.
  
  Can anyone help us fix this?
