PayPal Standard Method & Event Settings Problem – URGENT

Hi Team,

I was trying to set the paypal standard method for event and it was giving a validation error for BUTTON URL, i came here and saw a topic related to it

https://eventespresso.com/topic/payment-method-of-type-paypal-standard-was-not-saved-because-there-were-validati/

I added the filter but it was still giving the error. Then i update the plugin to latest version 4.7.6.p. It was still giving the same error of BUTTON URL.
Kindly help to solve this.

Also, with updated version, events settings got changed. I did the process of migrating the data to latest version but facebook share option is not appearing and event heading (event name on top of table) is also not appearing.

Can you tell me what is causing this? and how to solve this?
Its very urgent as website is about to go live on Monday.

regards
SuYuen.

Hi team,

I figure out the files have been overwritten by updating the plugin. I am working on facebook share button.

Can you help with the payment method issue?

Also, as you can see here the event name (heading) is not coming above the ‘ticket table’.
http://linode.mokomomo.com/fidgets/events/cake-pops-making-test/

Which is appearing here, http://linode.mokomomo.com/fidgets/events/
its “entry-header” i guess.

Hi SuYuen, editing the core plugin is not recommended as those changes will be lost when you update the plugin.

Is the URL for the payment button a link on your existing site or is it for an external site?

I am seeing the event title (e.g. Cake Pops Making – Test) appear on both of the links that you shared. Where is it missing from?

Hi Lorenzo,

Yes i understand, the facebook share is working now and also I have put the heading via code, solve that problem as well.
Just payment method issue is left.

Its the button URL which is giving the validation error, the URL is of this image

i checked the path, its correct. What do i have to do to make it work?

Hi SuYuen, I replied earlier today that there was an issue with the login that was provided (blank on login). Could you please double-check the login and provide an updated one?

Hi Lorenzo,

In which field it was blank?
I checked it when i sent it to you.

I just send it again. Can you please check?
Fidgets wordpress login credentials are correct, as i just checked it by logging in.

Hi SuYuen,

The login details are working and I’ve been looking over the PayPal payment method settings.

Is the filter you mentioned prviously still in use on the site somewhere? I can’t find it currently so just want to confirm.

The code I am referring to is this:

add_filter( 'FHEE__EEM_Payment_Method__verify_button_urls__button_urls_to_try', 'ee_dont_consider_ssl_button_urls' );
function ee_dont_consider_ssl_button_urls( $button_urls_to_try ) {
unset( $button_urls_to_try[ 'current_ssl' ] );
unset( $button_urls_to_try[ 'default_ssl' ] );
return $button_urls_to_try;
}

Hi Tony,

Thanks for looking into it, i was getting worried for getting reply back from you guys.
Yes i put that code you mentioned above into theme’s function.php file and checked, but it was still giving the same error. So i remove it.
It was before i update the plugin. After the adding the filter when i was still getting the error, i updated the plugin. I didn’t put filter after that.

Su Yuen.

Hmm, seems there’s something strange going on with the server set up.

If I use the same URL for your PayPal image on one of my test sites, it works fine. But for some reason the URL is being reported as invalid when used on the server itself.

Can you check with your host to see if they are running some form of hotlink protect that is being triggered when EE validates the image URL?

Hi Su Yuen,

Could you update to Event Espresso 4.7.8 and try to resave those settings again via your payment methods screen?

We’ve made changes to the way that the URLs are detected:
