I ran into this problem with one of my sites because it’s being targeted by hackers trying to login. There are maybe 2 people who log in to this site. However, Wordfence tells me it has gotten 300-some attempts at login from Shenzen, China in the past month. I logged in once and got a “try again in a minute” message.

Thank you, this solved the problem. Wish I had known this 7 days ago!

Uninstalled Simple Membership and the captcha addon. reinstalled Simple Membership. Same problem. No page found.

The PayPal hosted button is a Buy Now/Subscribe (see log).

Turned off all plugins except for Simple Membership.

Tested again. Same problem — the link generates a Page Not Found.

I am not running a site cache plugin (W3 Cache is deactivated) … however I AM running WP Widget Cache. (Supposed to only affect widgets, but I just deactivated that now.) Other Running Plugins: Simple WordPress Membership, Simple Membership Google Recaptcha,The Events Calendar, Meta Slider, Akismet.

Registration https://duluthhorsetrails.org/member-registration/

I have been testing/retesting this with a special $1 membership level I created. I have been deleting the test member from inside Simple Membership to test again.

Thanks for all your help.

The plugin did generate the link but the link leads to “Page Not Found.”

Thanks for the help. Clayton, I had two caching plugins active at the same time (error no 1, whoops) then tried to delete one active via ftp (error 2?). May have deleted more than just plugin files.

I will start with a fresh auto-install from my host since I had so little content there to start with — thanks for your help.

Thanks Josh. You (and Meteor Slides) rock!
