When PayPal Donations is connected in test mode but not live (and vice versa) the form should not display credit card fields for the version that is not connected

PayPal Donations gateway requires you to connect in both live mode and test mode if you want to fully test without using real money. If a user only connects to one or the other (live mode connected to a live account or test mode connected to a sandbox account) but then views a form in the other mode, credit card fields are displayed but don't actually function.
When that's the case, instead of displaying essentially dummy fields GiveWP should alert the user to connect in the other method to PayPal.

The workaround of course for this is to connect to poth a sandbox account and a live account if you want to switch between live and test mode.
Issues like this that are not preventing donations or have a simple workaround are generally prioritized at the end of an 8 week development cycle, and then tested and released. That means it can be up to 10 weeks for issues like this to be resolved.
