I'm working on a website using WordPress and Woocommerce Plugin, I would like to use PayPal as a Payment gateway but I get the message "Gateway disabled: PayPal Standard does not support your store currency" every time I try to set up PayPal. I am based in Kenya and the currency is (Kenyan shilling) which is not supported by PayPal. I have read many articles explaining how to solve this by adding some code on functions.php of my theme (even what is explained

In order to use PayPal, transactions must be denominated in a supported PayPal currency, such as USD or EUR.

So, change your store store to use such a currency. Modifying the code to forcibly enable PayPal Standard even though you're using an unsupported currency will just result in checkout errors, as PayPal will reject transactions denominated in KSH.

When using a supported currency, if the payer has a funding source in some other local currency (such as KSH), the conversion will be shown to them in the PayPal checkout.
