Connecting to PayPal Donations when GiveWP is in test mode is confusing

As an admin, it isn't clear to me that I need to disable test mode in order to connect to my live PayPal account for PayPal Donations.
When I am in test mode with GiveWP, I want to see some instructions on the PayPal Donations screen informing me that I need to switch to GiveWP live mode when trying to connect to PayPal.
Several users have reported an "error" or an inability to connect to PayPal successfully - they did not realize this was due to the fact that they were in test mode with GiveWP. PayPal wouldn't connect successfully, since they didn't have a sandbox account with PayPal.
It would be nice to have a notice when in GiveWP test mode that folks are connecting to a PayPal Sandbox account, not live, on the setting screen.

Hi folks! This was rolled out with version 2.29.2. Make sure that if you're connecting to Sandbox that GiveWP is in Test Mode, and if connecting o Live, that Test Mode is turned off.
