================================

HI,

I received this email from PayPal..

Update your PayPal buttons before 18 January 2017

In January, we'll be upgrading the PayPal integration you're using, Website Payments Standard, to:

• Let your customers check out in a click with One Touch™
• Ensure your checkout is always mobile-optimised
• Deliver a simpler checkout design that’s consistent across desktop and mobile

To ensure you can continue to process payments once these upgrades have taken place, please update your PayPal buttons by 18 January 2017.

What do you need to do?

We’ve identified problems with at least one of your PayPal buttons so please check all your existing buttons for invalid or incorrect data.


--

I've been testing my buttons to see if theres a problem, so far all working (still many to go)
If PayPal has identified a problem cant they also mention where and what it is since they discovered it?

I see the PayPal documentation but so far I cant see my mistake..

Any help or advice on this most welcome.. i.e further info on this email and how to troubleshoot this..

All volunteer non profit organization- acepting PayPal

This is our non-profit all volunteer organization's site.

Once this issue occured and the user received the "Things don't appear to be working properly" message, it seems we might have a secondary issue with our Contact form 7. A lot of people seem to have thiese two issues.

The site is
http://www.litrio.org

The first form that worked perfectly and led to PayPal checkout is now having issues (it still sends email properly) and is no longer redirecting to PayPal checkout is here:
http://www.litrio.org/contribute/

Another form (it sends email properly) no longer redirecting to PayPal checkout is here:
http://www.litrio.org/about-us/join/

At first, the message “Things don’t seem to be working properly at the moment” appeared (from PayPal upon clicking submit on the form)

Then, the spinning arrows occurred when the user tried to start a transaction and check out.

I have upgraded wordpress and all plugins. Contact Form 7 worked great until recently when it stopped the redirect to PayPal checkout and we and the users experienced the spinning arrows each time the submit button is pressed.

wordpess version 4.8 

contact form 7 version 4.8

PayPal acount has been tested , is in good standing and works well. 

issue 1-no longer redirects to PayPal for checkout (this worked until PayPal made changes and warned that forms might have issues)

issue 2- spinning arrows when submit is pressed

Thank you very much.

removing dollar signs didn't seem to help in this case.

I will also paste the code from the form if you like and if the forum allows (I doubt it's allowed due to PayPal address".
