IPN data updating some — but not all — plugins

    I have several plugins that utilize PayPal (e.g., Woo, Give, etc). Some of them seem to be getting updates from PayPal and some are not. “PayPal IPN” is not receiving updates, but Give and Woo are working fine. One of my plugin IPN URLs redirects to the homepage, which I believe is a problem. Possible causes are plugin conflicts, security issues, permalink issues, htaccess, wp-config, and cache issues. I have set my PayPal notification URL to match the one for “PayPal IPN”. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

    Hi Steve,

    You need to verify exactly which IPN URL is getting used for the different sources of payments you have. You may have set our plugin’s IPN URL in your PayPal account profile, which would be used as a catch all for any IPN that wasn’t specifically setup to be send elsewhere. However, if any of those payment sources you’re using are including the NOTIFYURL parameter then that would override the URL you have configured in your PayPal account, so our plugin would never receive that data.

    This is actually where our Forwarder would come into play. If other sources are expecting for IPNs to sent to their URL, then what you could do is disable their override so that things do get sent to our plugin here as the catch-all, and then use our Forwarder plugin to forward that data out to the additional URLs needed by the other sources. This way everything would play nicely together.

    Let me know if you have any questions about any of that. Thanks!

    Thank you for the info. I deactivated all of my plugins and then re-activated them one by one. The plugin that was not working is now receiving data. I will test the others over the next few days and look into your Forwarder. I greatly appreciate your assistance.
