Paypal -> Espresso, not working

Hi
I am having an issue with Paypal telling Event Espresso that someone has paid.
IPN is turned on and the address is correct.
Paypal is verified.
Transaction page is public.
I also used the simple transaction temple you provide.
Some have gotten through but not all.
I resent all the transactions via paypal but they are not getting through.
Is there anything else I can do to make this work?

cheers
Dave

Hi David,

Are you running caching or security plugins?

If you view the registrations within the admin do they stay ‘Incomplete’ or do they show as ‘Complete’?

If you go to wp-content/uploads/espresso/logs/

You should find paypal.ipn_results.log, in there do you see any errors that may shed some light on this?

Hi thanks for the reply.
the registrations are sent to ‘payment pending’
I am not seeing a log there at all.

Are you using any caching or security plugins on the site?

Does it happen on a specific event or all your events?

Which version of EE4 are you currently running?

this the first paying event we’ve done

Version 4.4.3.p

In EE4.4.4.p we fixed some Paypal IPN validation issues with tickets that have a single quote within their name. Do any of your tickets have single quotes/apostrophes?

Either way I would recommend updating to the latest version (currently 4.4.5.p) using the auto update feature. Be sure to make a full site backup before doing so (files and database) just to be safe.

Hi, you should be prompted to update via WordPress admin (WP dashboard) –> Plugins –> Event Espresso.

A manual update will also take you to the current software:
