My reply to this seems to have disappeared.

I changed to https and installed the plugins Force HTTPS and SSL Insecure Content Fixer.

I updated the easy SMTP plugin to a new server provided by the web host.

One problem I’ve found is that the PayPal payments result in a membership that is active from 2024, rather than today.

I’ve worked through this issue with the web host and PayPal, but neither can find a problem at their end.

Thanks for the reply.

In the Simple Membership::Payments tab, there are up to 20 separate entries for the same transaction ID, each triggering an update email to the payee.

Yes, email templates have been set up. It has been working well for the past year.

I have been advised by PayPal that the resolution is “Kindly check your incoming connection log and fix your IPN listener”. Do you have any advice about how to fix the IPN listener?

[Kevin]

I have turned on debug logs. I’m not sure how to run a test, but this is the kind of information received (you’ll notice that access starts at 2034 as well):

OK. It’s not quite as appealing as something that comes direct, but it looks workable. And if the giver already has a membership? Is it possible for someone to pay for more than one membership under the same email account?

[Kevin]

Thanks for that. This would be useful for a special deal. But I can’t figure out how it would work out for someone who wants to pay for a gift subscription for another person. It would require a form that would differential the payor’s details from the gift recipient. Sorry if I’m slow on this.
