typotamer on "[Plugin: WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart] Also having trouble with Return Redirect URL not working: ?reset_wp_cart=1"

As reported in many threads, including this one:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/retu-redirect-url-not-working-reset_wp_cart1

I am also having this problem. I tried it with Receive IPN messages (Enabled) checked and a notification URL filled in; with Receive IPN messages (Enabled) checked, and the notification URL blank; and with 'Do not receive IPN messages (Disabled) checked, both with and without a URL. The URL I have specified to redirect to is:

http://saywardfutures.ca/become-a-member/thank-you-for-joining/

In all instances, the URL that it retus to is:

http://saywardfutures.ca/become-a-member/thank-you-for-joining/?reset_wp_cart=1

This generates a 404 error when it gets back to my website.

I also uninstalled the plugin (latest version) and then reinstalled it with the same outcome.

Would love some help here.

Thank you!

Hi Terry, have you tested PayPal's IPN by simply adding your website URL?

Can you carry out the following test. Enable Debug mode. Then carry out a transaction "purchase a product". Once you have completed your purchase. Log back in and check the log file. Report back with your findings.

Thank you

Adding the website URL where, mbrsolution? In the settings for the shopping cart or on PayPal? And do you mean using just the site's main URL, rather than redirecting to the specific thank you page?

Thanks,

Terry

Hi Terry, add your website main URL to your PayPal IPN account settings. For example [www.yoursite.com].

But remember to enable Debug mode and carry out a test if you are still having issues after adding your main URL to your PayPal IPN account.

Regards

Hi mbrsolution,

Okay, I logged into PayPal and changed the settings there to send Email notification and set the URL there to:

http://saywardfutures.ca

(The setting in my plugin is still set to the thank you page noted above.) Upon completion of the transaction, it still retued to:

http://saywardfutures.ca/become-a-member/thank-you-for-joining/?reset_wp_cart=1

I did enable Debug mode and see a .txt file with a bunch of info in it, but I don't know what I should be looking for there.

Thanks - I really appreciate your help.

Terry

Hi Terry what is your thank you page URL?

Ahh, I thought I might have found the issue... The thank you page that was specified in the settings was:

http://saywardfutures.ca/become-a-member/thank-you-for-joining/

but the site was restructured and that page was changed to:

http://saywardfutures.ca/membership-information/join-now/thank-you-for-joining/

So I changed the settings to reflect the correct URL, but upon testing, it still retued a link with the reset bit at the end:

http://saywardfutures.ca/membership-information/join-now/thank-you-for-joining/?reset_wp_cart=1

Is there something specific in the debug file that I should be looking for? (I don't want to post all of that info here, but I could send it to you if it would help.)

Thanks again!!

Terry
