Hi Eduan,

Ideally yes – something automated that they can’t easily change would be ideal…

p.s. this looks like the successor to Block Bad Queries but I suspect it won’t work with s2 and paypal right?

Many thanks….

>Thanks for the heads-up on this thread, Eduan. We appreciate all bug reports. And thanks for your patience.

No problem – thanks for making such a powerful plugin…

>However, if you are filtering the variables PayPal is receiving, and replacing the PayPal email with the subscriber’s email, this could definitely cause problems.

To the best of my knowledge there is no filtering of the variables PayPal is receiving. The only ‘extras’ in the plugin settings are for a Payment Notification url and a Refund/Reversal Notification url, both of which come from the premium version of the affiliates plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/affiliates/)

I am also using some other plugins that might be conflicting?

WP-Mail-SMTP
W3 Total Cache
Hotfix
Block Bad Queries (http://perishablepress.com/5g-blacklist-2012/comment-page-8/#comment-88415)
WP Security Scan

The other thing I noticed that might be odd is that I ran through the instructions re: ideal server configuration below. The test php file I created didn’t load from the StrongTi.es domain but it loaded successfully from another site hosted on the same account. I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but I can only guess that maybe an entry in the root .htaccess file prevented this?

>Are you getting an error code/message during your tests that may be causing this? If so, can you post exactly what this error is?

Not to my knowledge, no error messages are posted in the browser/the admin section of the site, unless they are captured in the log file?

>Is this plugin in the WordPress plugins repository? If so, can you post the link to it?

I’m using the premium version of the affiliates plugin. The author has been helping me test this and I’m sure he’ll be able to help if necesarry.

>Also, could you please post the PayPal logs from these test transactions, assuming you have logging enabled?

Sure, logging is enabled – is it ok to insert the contents into pastebin or something like that? I’m guessing there is no sensitive info in the 3 files? The size of the 3 files is…

paypal-api – 1.2mb
paypal-ipn – 22.3kb
paypal-rtn – 30.7kb

Many thanks Eduan…

Ok, thanks for letting me know…
