IPN issues – subfolder installation of WordPress

  • I am trying to get PayPal standard to work for my webshop.

    I have done quite a bit of testing with paypal sandbox and ipn simulator, but as don’t really know how the data that is being send back and forth work I am not really sure what the problem is.

    I hope this describes the situation:

    Woocommerce communicates to Paypal and money is being transferred.
    The message that the payment is made from PayPal doesn’t reach Woocommerce and the order stays pending until it times out and cancels.

    My wordpress is installed in a subfolder: example.com/WP

    If I try to access jenslarsen.nl/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_Paypal I get a 404
    If I use jenslarsen.nl/WP/?wc-api=WC_Gateway_Paypal I get the Paypal IPN Request failure (which I gather is the desired result)

    If I use paypals IPN simulator in the sandbox it sends a message to woocommerce and I can see it in the Woocommerce logs when I use the /WP/?wc-api…

    If I use the paypal sandbox to order from my site it stays pending, and in real tests too.

    I was thinking about trying to make a .htaccess change from to the /WP request?

    Any suggestions are welcome, I’ve been looking, reading and googling for a few days now ??

    Thank you!

    In my continuing search I disabled all plugins and now have the culprit:

    Polylang is screwing everything up, with that disabled I can get the sandbox to work.

    This is ofcourse great! But now what? Any suggestions?

    I hope I am not wasting anybody’s time…

    Was polylang removing the WP/? Maybe best to report on their forums for assistance.

    No it wasn’t removing the /WP/ I can’t figure out why it is disrupting the IPN.

    When I figured out it was that plugin I did ask on their forum too, didn’t get an answer yet though.

    If I figure something out I will also post it here of course.
