Ignore above message. Admin, please delete the message. It’s now working fine.

Cheers, Steve

You can delete this thread – I solved it myself by tweaking some css. Thanks, Steve

Did you have any further thoughts on this issue? I’ll be pleased to hear from you with any ideas as to how to solve this.
Big thanks

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

Does this help further?

Sorry, I don’t understand your comment about thumbnails not regenerating automatically. As far I as I saw, when I tweaked the thumbnail sizes on the ‘thumbnails’ page in your plugin to try and resolve it, the new sizes appeared in real time. Any further help appreciated. I’m 99% certain they used to display correctly together with the text – something has changed. Cheers, Steve

Thanks for the quick reply… This is where I was looking, but couldn’t see anything of relevance. I’ve tried adjusting the size of the thumbnails, but it didn’t fix things…

No probs! Still does all I want! Might give EWWW a go for its extra flexibility! Cheers, Steve

I’m going to attempt to answer my own question… If there is anyone on here that understands where I’m going with this, any feedback would be appreciated.

In short, I was attempting to create a printed page that showed a variety of QR Codes that represented various donation amounts. These always worked ‘for a while’. Then, the QR codes fail with the message ‘‘something’s not right. This page does not exist’, after a period of time.

As I mentioned in my original post, the QR codes worked for some hours (I didn’t measure it exactly) and then the error message appeared.

So, on doing some investigation, I discovered:-

The PayPal URL to the various donations includes an ‘access token'(whatever they are!) as part of the url. Therefore the QR Code I created at the time was fine. However, the access token apparently has a finite life (I read 9 hours???). After that, if the access token becomes invalid – and therefore the URL doesn’t work – and another is generated (but of course, the QR code doesn’t know that – and fails, because the URL does not exist any longer).

I’ve concluded, therefore, it’s not possible to create a QR code that I can print that takes a user to the ‘donate’ page for different amounts. If this conclusion is incorrect, I’d love to know how to get this sorted. Thanks, Steve

thank you for your quick reply. Appreciated. Is the a link to show me how to implement this?

PS Does your plugin also allow payment by credit/debit card using the PayPal platform?

Thanks, Steve

Thanks Jose. Appreciate the quick reply and the detailed explanation. All is now clear for me now. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Cheers, Steve

thank you! Good to know! ??

Yes, it took far too long to get a response here, and I thought I’d been ignored or forgotten about – or no-one knew how to solve my problem. In the end, out of desperation, I reached out to MailPoet themselves who offered a similar suggestion. Problem now solved, thanks! ?? Steve

Apologies Jan. Thanks for the heads-up. Steve

Hi again Ojoma

UPDATE Tuesday, August 1, 2023

No, sorry, on testing, your suggestion, unfortunately, does not solve the issue. After switching status to OFF, I published my Post and instant notify did not function (as expected). But, as soon as I flicked the status back ON, it played ‘catch-up’ by notifying all my subscribers. To clarify, I’m looking for a way to be selective about auto notifying my subscribers – I want to be able to publish to my Blog *sometimes* and NOT notify my subscriber-base of the Post AT ALL. Is this possible? In your previous reply above, you seemed to suggest it was
Look forward to hearing your suggestion.

Thanks, Steve

Hi Ojoma

Thanks for this tip, it’s very helpful – I’d missed that option that you showed in your screenshot. So, I guess I switch the status OFF before publishing and when the Post has been published, switch it back ON? And just to confirm… it won’t try to ‘catch up’ and try and publish past Posts when I switch the status back on again?

Thank you
Steve

Hi Emre

I’ll email you. I think I’m not explaining things very well.
