Author Topic: Paypal Pro IPN not working for recurring in CiviCRM on Wordpress (Read 1073 times)

Using Wordpress 3.5 with CiviCRM 4.3.4. and Paypal Payments Pro with the recurring donations feature. IPN notifications for the completion of recurring donations are not getting through. There is no notice being processed by CiviCRM when Paypal processes any future recurring contributions from the donor. Normal donations and the first donation (in a recurring series) post properly to CivCRM.

I've tried having Paypal send my IPN notifications to:

http://OURSITE.org/
http://OURSITE.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/
http://OURSITE.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/extern/ipn.php

In Paypal the IPNs are listed as "sent".

On our Drupal site it was necessary to have them go to http://OURSITE.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/extern/ipn.php.

To see if it is working you can check your Apache logs to see if there are accesses to that url.

If you need more detail the code that gets called in CRM_Core_Payment_BaseIPN.php does log quite a bit to your CiviCRM log file (ConfigAndLog folder) if it is accessed.

In the past I've also added something quick and dirty like this to get more details about what I am receiving. It goes after the 'if (empty($_GET)) {" on line 42 of civicrm/extern/ipn.php:

Code: [Select]

if (empty($_GET)) {
  // Begin added debug
  $fh = fopen(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../../../ipn_log.txt', 'a');
  $str = var_export($_POST, TRUE);
  fwrite($fh, $str);
  fclose($fh);
  // End added debug

We think we have found the problem... Paypal was still using http://OURSITE.org for the IPN URL. For some reason, it didn't update when we changed it in Paypal's IPN settings. They are checking on it and seeing if they can fore resend the IPNs to the correct IPN URL.

I will update if that was actually the problem and if it's fixed.
