Cristián,

After going through the IPN log files over at Paypal. It does seem that some older quarterly recurring payment profiles (from the old website) that were not cancelled do cause a problem. Basically once there is a “failure” in the IPN log, that failure lingers and prevents the next one or two proper new subscriptions or new PayPal IPN notfications to have errors as well.

It’s Paypal programming logic that generates a number of IPN errors – and this I got by searching the Internet to see if this problem appeared in other areas. It seems from the compaint forum threads. that PayPal does not admit to the issue which compounds the problem. The issue doesn’t crop up much because two things have to happen. You switch payment/subscription offerings AND you are a new server. Rare combo

I also got the S2 Member Security Badge working.

If you could just go through the logfiles that I sent and see if we are properly setup from your viewpoint that would be helpful.

Regards,
Joe

Should note sometimes everything works swimmingly with new subscibers getting processed & registered automatically and some days it does not.

should i send you the log file?

Just sent you log file with Admin / password stuff to get into the website thecontrariancorner.com

re: this issue
I’d contact PayPal to find out more details regarding this error. Is that the URL you have in your PayPal setting for the IPN? If so, update it to the s2Member one http://thecontrariancorner.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1 If not, you need PayPal to explain where that’s coming from and how you can solve it.

I think I may have found the issue. I re-did the old website which was not working very well at all, everything was replaced/rebuilt on a new server hosted by GoDaddy. THe new site I built uses S2member.

I believe an old customer may have used a “saved” or cached copy of an old paypal button to the old site. So the error message may have stemmed from that. (We notified all our old customers. Converted them to the new site manually and had them all sign up with the new paypal buttons with new pricing plans etc. There is always one – and I think this is was the error that caused this odd message:

I do not have another plug-in for anything Paypal or subscription related. So I’m not sure how to solve this issue:
http://www.thecontrariancorner.com/paymentreturn/paypalexpress

I think I have all the settings correct, but love for you guys to double check. While you have these privledges can I also get your help in setting up the S2 Badge on the Website? I’m down to the last setting that requires me changing some internal WordPress file

Regards,
Joe

OK After uplaoding the PHP file to the WP directory, open the file in your browser.
http://thecontrariancorner.com/?s2member_paypal_notify=1
into my browser get a blank page which i think is supposed to happen.

We aren’t using PayPal Pro just the standard buttons.

html tag in the beginning of the post – only subs should see the content and non-subs the headline. I’ll give this a shot today. Thx
