PayPal IPN failing to reach site before customers

Hi guys,

The PayPal IPN is failing to reach the site before the customers do; so is showing incomplete payment and prompting them to pay again.. I found a fix a while back for this in the support forum but after updating (EE3) it has over written the changes and when I tried to recreate it I got the “white screen of death” so had to restore from a back up. Can you please let me know or copy the files in text on here please how I would get the “pending” notification on the thank you page instead of the incomplete we currently get.

Thank you in advance,
Tom

Hi Thomas,

Can you provide further details on the previous fix you tried to re-use please?

Have you installed the simplified transaction page template outlined here:

Hi Tom,

Maybe it was Sidney’s modification outlined here?

You can copy over the entire EE3 PayPal gateway over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways and it will load from there. This will keep your changes safe from being overwritten on an update.

Hi Josh yes that’s the one, so am I right in thinking that in the current update no changes have been made to the PayPal gateway? I was updating fro quite an old version cant remember what version though..

Cheers

I can’t accurately answer your question because I do not know which version you are updating from. You can copy the current version of the PayPal gateway over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways, then make the suggested changes listed in the gist, then test to make sure your changes didn’t break anything.
