    If it’s showing retrying that means there must be some sort of an error happening when the IPN data hits your server.

    Can you take a look at the PHP error log on your server to find what error happened when that URL was hit?

    Thanks for getting back to me. I couldn’t find anything in the error log. I reinstalled the plugin and made a new button, however, the URL provided doesn’t work in PayPal apparently, a message comes up saying
    “We’re sorry. That URL won’t work. Please enter an “https” URL.”

    I changed “http” to “https” and the IPN’s in the history log on PayPal now say “Sent” yet none of them appear in the IPN section in the wordpress admin panel.

    Do you have an SSL installed on your server so the https:// version of your site would load properly? It sounds like you still need to install an SSL certificate on your site.

    No, I don’t have an SSL installed- do you think that’s the reason the IPNs weren’t showing up in the admin panel in the first place, although it says in IPN PayPal history that they’re “Sent”?

    Yes, it’s sending to https:// but your server isn’t accepting that traffic. You’ll need to get an SSL certificate installed on your site.

    Your hosting provider should be able to take care of this for you for around $75/year.
