Clarifying…

How can I produce a report showing all purchasers and their purchased products?

Okay, thanks Allen. I’m assuming the shortcode will work on the same page with the donations form, or on a separate page, as I choose?

I have four weeks until my event so, if I’m going to use a donor wall, I really need it now. I understand it takes time and I’m not asking you to rush it, so I’m thinking I’ll just remove the question from the form altogether so I’m not creating an expectation I can’t fulfill.

Thanks for your work!

Best,
Jim

No, I didn’t have IPN turned on. I have another plugin – Olimometer – for collecting a different kind of donation last year and thought maybe IPN was enabled for it, but it wasn’t. It uses my API credentials. It appears now I may have a conflict between it and yours talking to the same PayPal account. I’ll have to look into that later.

Thanks for your help, Allen!

That worked, Allen. Got the thank you email, listing in donors and donations updated, registered in the log with IPN activity.

For anyone else, you can find IPN settings in My Profile > My Selling Tools > Getting paid and managing my risk > Instant Payment Notifications > Update.

Thanks!

Jim

Allen,

Here’s the page: https://www.tulsatough.com/financial-support/

BTW, I just noticed there’s a v2.3.0 so I’m updating although, per the changelog, it doesn’t look like that will fix this.

Thanks for your quick response!

Below is what I got from my web hosting support and it worked for me. Read all of it and you will find the fix is in the paypal.php file, near the top: change ‘testing-mode’ to ‘live-mode’. For some reason this is not being changed through your settings in the admin screen.

After you make this change it may take a couple of days for all of your unsent IPN messages to be sent. You can check their status by logging into PayPal, select “History” from the menu, select “IPN History” from the drop-down. View the list of messages and their status. Some will have a status of “retrying”. Those that have been successful will have a status of “sent”.

“Regarding the 404 error specifically, this seems to be by design, as the following bit of code shows:
# Check for IPN post if non then return 404 error.
if (!$_POST[‘txn_type’]){
if( $email_IPN_results ) send_mail($send_mail_to,$sysname.” [ERROR – 404]”,”IPN Fail: 404 error!”,””,__LINE__);
header(“Status: 404 Not Found”);
die();
}else{
header(“Status: 200 OK”);
}

Now that we know Paypal is encountering the same 404 error that I encounter when I attempt to visit https://www.whateveryourdomainis.com/wp-content/plugins/donate-plus/paypal.php via a command line, I suspect the issue is isolated to the settings within the paypal.php file not being setup properly to coincide with what Paypal is sending, or vice versa. It may be entirely isolated to the “$verifymode = $dplus[‘testing_mode’];” setting within this file, needing to be set to “live_mode”.”

I found the offending plugin, disabled it, performed my tasks on wsi, then re-enabled it. Inconvenient but workable. Thanks for the reply and the very nice plugin.
