That worked for me as well. I also put in in my child theme’s functions.php.

Thank you.

Hi Bruce,

I enabled logging as you instructed and then did a test signup. Here is the contents of the paypal-rtn.log file…

Please advise.

Thank You.

Hi Cristián,

Thank you for the fast response.

We tried the Button Encryption option first and doing that made the PayPal Button invisible on our sales page, so we set that back to unencrypted.

We then switched from our current Theme to Twenty Eleven and the “Invalid Regular period.” PayPal error stopped.

So the Theme is a place to look, however we have not updated the Theme to a new version prior to this issue occuring. We have had some custom development work done to the Theme.

What exactly should we be looking for within a Theme that would be causing this? The more information we can give to our developer the quicker we can get this resolved.

Switching to another Theme is not an option as we have a custom design on this Theme and until recently it was working.

Please advise.

Thank You.
