I am using payments standard with CiviCRM 1.79. IPN is turned on and I am getting redirected back to the thank you screen. I checked the log and get this error:
Aug 22 10:13:14  [info] returning since contribution status is pending

Here's what is before this:

Aug 22 10:13:14  [info] $POST = Array

)

Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

paypal is reporting that the payment is still pending:

[payment_status] => Pending

hence we dont take any action. We wait for an IPN with a status of Completed or Cancelled
