I am using the Wordpress Plugin Donate Plus, which hasn't been updated in a while and which isn't working properly for most users. So I have made some changes to the code in an attempt to get it working again. I have everything working fine except that in the IPN History of my PayPal account all transactions have the Delivery status "Retrying" with an HTTP response code of 404.
There is an IPN debugging feature in the script which is returning "Verified IPN Transaction [Completed]", suggesting that everything has gone OK. However, I am getting multiple debugging messages, multiple thank you messages sent out, and multiple entries into my MySQL database, all of which I presume are related to the "Retrying" issue.
I have set the notification URL manually in PayPal, as I've heard that this can resolve some issues. However I am still experiencing the same issue.
I understand that the script needs to send the complete unaltered IPN message back to PayPal; i.e the message must contain the same fields in the same order and be encoded in the same way as the original message. I am not sure how to check what is returned by $postipn however, in order to check whether this is the issue.
I am including the full paypal.php script below in case anyone can spot what the issue is.
Thanks,
Nick
