Paypal Integration and redirect Errors.

[freesoftwarewiz]

This is the second time reporting this issue. The first was on the wordpress.org site.

We have been testing the registration system with Paypal payments and IPN. Found SERIOUS issue.

a) from our join page (we use our home page), a user PAYS via paypal WITH all the IPN settings set, the variables in the buttons, etc.
and an entry IS created for them On our WP site in simple membership as a paid user at the paid level,
b) an email saying to Complete Registration IS sent to the user
c) the user uses the email link to complete the Registration form
d) a “registration complete” email IS sent and received by user
BUT,
e) after the paid user completes the registration form successfully, INSTEAD of sending you to the LOGIN page, it RETURNS to the registration form page:

a MESSAGE appears above the header saying:
Registration Successful. Please Login
BUT
the registration form page also shows an ERROR message:

Error! Invalid Request. Could not find a match for the given
security code and the user ID.Free membership is disabled on
this site. Please make a payment from the Join us page to pay
for a premium membership.

We ASSUME what is happening is it tries to/thinks it needs to RE-register the same user!

—-
When the registration form page is completed successfully,
and a user entry created,
it SHOULD send people to the login page (OR a page of our choice). NOT back to the registration form.

Please go to the email settings menu of this plugin. What content do you have in the “Registration Complete” email body field? You can customize that email to say anything you want to say to your members after they complete the registration.

I am aware of that and What does THAT have to do with the problem? As I stated, the emails are sent and work FINE.

The PROBLEM is not getting sent to the LOGIN page after completing the registration form – which the user went to FROM the email to begin with.

Did you even read the problem description?

I thought you meant “In the email it gives the URL of the wrong page”.

I think you want the user to be automatically redirected to the login page after the registration. We unfortunately don’t have a feature for this.

WHAT?

Seriously, you docs SAY that is what SHOULD happen! It is SUPPOSED to send users to the login page after a successful registration.

Instead, what happens is it returns to registration form a second time and displays an ERROR! Are you saying that is what is SUPPOSED to happen – to resend users to the registration form and display an error, even though their registration DID work??!!

That is ludicrous!

Try actually reading my posts.

Nope, it is not suppose to give any error.

I have just double checked the plugins behavior on 2 of my sites. The registration works successfully. After the registration is gives the following message.

Registration Successful. Please Login

There has to be some kind of conflict going on this site (most likely it is conflicting with another plugin).

We develop and support the plugin on our spare time. We also have to work a day job to support the family. So sorry if you are not getting the kind of support you are looking for. Maybe try an alternative plugin and hopefully that one won’t conflict.

AGAIN, READ THE DAMN PROBLEM DESCRIPTION!!!!!!!

My description SAYS that yes, we DO get the “login successful” message – at the top of the page in the header area which screws up the theme!

BUT, We(the user) ALSO get an ERROR message on the page – because it RETURNS to the registration page NOT the login page, as it should.

And if you bothered to read the posts in the wordpress.org you would see we are NOT the only ones having this issue. How it works on a site YOU setup is irrelevant. There IS an issue for your users.

You are not the only ones who work for a living – for some people, these sites using your software ARE their living. And frankly, if you put out software for people to use, there is a responsibility to fix issues, NOT deny they exist or blame it on your users or not bother to read the problem closely.

There is NO excuse (“part-time” or not) for not even bothering to read the entire problem description closely enough to understand the actual problem.
