angelleye on "[Plugin: PayPal for WooCommerce] Paypal Express - Landing page not followed"

Hi

I have enabled paypal express for the product, cart and checkout pages. Checkbox for Account Optional is ticked. My paypal is setup with Account Optional - ON. Its been that way forever and works with regular paypal checkout.

However, even though I have Landing page as Billing, it redirects to the login page. Worst part is there's no option to even pay via CC. Any ideas?

Thank you!

OK after playing with it for a while I found the culprit...

the last option Send Item Details...causes it to act that way, not sure why...bug maybe?

Once I unchecked Send Item Details, it brings me to the Paypal Guest Checkout page with an order total at the top...too bad they can't see the itemized minicart.

Sounds like there is a conflict with some other plugin or with your theme. Can you re-enable the send item details option in our plugin, but then temporarily disable other plugins you have enabled to see if the issue goes away?

You should also try switching to a basic theme if that doesn't help.

Once we find the conflict we can troubleshoot further.

Hi thank you for looking into this.

I disabled everything except for woo and this plugin. I changed theme to one of the 20something, same result. :(

Perplexing to say the least. Any other ideas?

Do you have any caching / CDN systems in place in WordPress or on the server directly?

None at all at the moment. Just got the site up and haven't tried to optimize anything yet. You can guess my site from my useame.

send you an account to have a look?

There has to be something additional in your configuration that we're not thinking of. If you ran with nothing but Woo and our plugin in a basic Twenty "something" theme then it would not be happening. We haven't had any other reports of this, and I can't reproduce it myself, so there has to be something else unique there going on.

Are you familiar with Firebug to troubleshoot that sort of thing?
