I’m currently experiencing this problem too. some very old threads suggest a blank line being inserted by a theme or plugin somewhere. When viewing the sitemap directly, the browser complains “error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document”.

It seems that it might be worth bringing back the feature to write a static sitemap file until the dynamic renderer can be made more reliable.

I discovered that another plugin called require_once for pluggable.php, causing it to load earlier than it otherwise would and breaking your plugin. I’ll find a way to fix the other plugin so it doesn’t call pluggable too early.

I just activated logging and see that it is seeing the wp_mail defined in pluggable.php

When testing against the sandbox you should use the fake card numbers that authorize.net provides. Presumably you’re using fake customer data too. In that case you should be able to get by without SSL for testing.

However, if you send real card data, you had better protect it.

Hi jessia823,

Right now there isn’t any way to create a link that includes a price to be automatically set on the checkout page, but you can create a ‘subscription’ (think about this like a product, or a property in your case) for each property and put that on the page. Then someone could click through the buy now link and pay that specific price. It would also show you on the backend which property they purchased.

Does that answer your question?

A link to your blog might be nice in that case. What was the solution?

What’s your site?

Did you go look at my site like I suggested yesterday? There’s a buy now button and that takes you to a checkout page.

There are also videos here that show you how the plugin works:

Beyond that I’m really not sure I understand what you’re asking.

Hi hostpuppies. I may not understand what you’re asking. I’m also not sure how to answer other than what I’ve posted.

It might be helpful for you to read up a bit on how AIM and ARB work. Those are the APIs I implement through authorize.net:
https://developer.authorize.net/api/aim/
https://developer.authorize.net/api/arb/

It works just like it does on my site. The user has no idea I’m using Authorize.net. They only know that I am taking a credit card payment.

I’m not sure what you mean by buttons. My plugin does all the processing on the merchant’s site using the AIM and ARB APIs. This requires an SSL certificate to secure the data during transport.

Authorize.net also offers SIM, which takes the user away from the merchant site over to authorize.net to complete the payment. My plugin does not support that.

Does that answer your question?

That’s great news. It’s a very simple plugin, so it should be very stable.

I’ll get it released to the plugin directory soon.

Hi Matthew, I found that this plugin was getting too complicated. I coded up a replacement that is simple and works great. I’ve been using it on my own sites and will probably release it through the wordpress directory soon.

If you want to give it a try, you can get it here:

Hi,

That’s exactly what my plugins is used for:

It’s used on many non-profit, church and even political websites to take donations and contributions.

Best of luck.

That’s exactly what my plugin does here:

Aside from that there aren’t many options for Authorize.net. The PayPal route is appealing and their fees are low. Is there some reason to attempt to conceal paypal?

I have one site where I take payments exclusively through paypal and I just worded it as “We accept PayPal payments for your safety”. It does relieve you of some security considerations.
