Paypal plugin error

    I built my site entirely in my machine under wp5.0.3.
    I included Paypal donation plugin button in every page and they were working fine.
    Then I uploaded the entire site using Duplicator plugin to a public server.
    What happened:
    Plugin demands a valid email to point to an existing account at Paypal.
    After uploading the site to the public server the email assigned in the plugin was changed as follows:
    original assigned in the plugin: [email protected]
    after uploading, it looks like this:
    [email protected] (strange string huh! Is it black magic?)
    This should not happen! And once uploaded there is no place to correct it, I am awaiting for good tips about how to correct this thing. Yes the public server is hosted by 000webhost.com.

    By the way the site is yet not public.

    Hi, try the following. Deactivate and then re-activate the plugin? Then carry out a test.

    Kind regards

    Thanks for the tip but got no solution.
    I did Deactivate and reactivate the plugin, then generated an entire new package for site uploading using Duplicator plugin.
    What I did: removed all files from the public server under public_html not to have old stuff there.
    Uploaded the site and installed it using Duplicator plugin.
    Created new database
    Again error persists and that is the unique problem I have after site installation and running.
    The string ‘000webhost.com’ appear inserted among the email that is valid for the Paypal account, making it useless. Maybe that is something Hostinger does on purpose. But the plugin must have its own security. This show us that the account’s email address can be traced by anyone. And that would be a hazard. Or the plugin itself is acting that editing the email address with the public hostname.
    Any other ideas?

    Hi, adding the following path ‘000webhost.com’ to the e-mail address is very strange. I think your best option is to speak to your host about this issue. I have never heard about this before.

    Let me know what they say.

    Kind regards

    Yes it does. I just found out that this will not be a real problem. I am still learning! Thanks to this event, I discovered that I can edit the entire site inside the server. So, I just edited the addresses of the plugins and the coded directly using the server environment and now made peace. Altough it actually inserts the string when you build your site on your machine and upload and install the site from scratch onto the server. Building the site directly inside the server one will not find any problem with that. So the problem was myself. Thanks for all tips.
