Can IPN be turned off in Paypal with Paid Subscriptions in vB?

[Ludachris]

Can someone confirm once and for all that vBulletin paid subscriptions (auto recurring) will still work if IPN setting is turned off in Paypal? I found a post from 3 years ago where a developer suggested...

Looks like that user updated his counters and it fixed...

Or should I absolutely wait and do that when the forum is turned off? Will it mess up the db?

[Ludachris]

Just to reiterate, cURL SSL is installed and working on the server. Anything else I can check or am I just destined to not be able to use the Paid Memberships feature in vB?

[Ludachris]

Any other ideas?

[Ludachris]

Will do, thanks!

Again though, would this explain why the Paypal option for payment is not showing up at all on the ordering page in the screenshot above?

cURL is installed, not sure about cURL with SSL. Virtual Directory Support and Thread Safety are disabled.

They are correct. I've even tried changing the...

The link works, but there is no checkmark in the circle when I do the test, so it looks like the site isn't communicating with Paypal. I'm checking with Paypal to see if they can help. I've confirmed...

It looks a little different in 3.8.X but it's the Order Using Paypal button that's missing. I had disabled all hooks and tried viewing in a stock style over the weekend with no changes. Would this have...

Here's a quick question that any developer should be able to easily answer - if there is a communication problem between my server and Paypal, would that cause the Paypal "purchase" option to...

Still can't get Paypal to communicate with the server. I disabled all hooks, set default templates to a stock style, and tried to Test Communication. It is not passing. I've contacted the host to see...

Please update this thread if the problem was fixed.

Problem is, I'll have to disable hooks and then wait for a subscription to renew to properly test the issue. That means we'll either have to keep the site live for the members and have them complain about...

I'm wondering why nobody has shared any information with those customer/server configuration issues in this thread and others like this thread. I haven't been able to find anything in the forums on the...

[Ludachris]

I've been having trouble with some of our paid subscriptions - most auto renew just fine but some don't and I can't find a pattern with any of the ones that don't. The payments are being made in Paypal,...

I'm trying to track down the same problem. Can you let me know how you determined there to be a conflict with that particular add-on? I'm not using that add-on but I'm wondering if I might have a conflict...

[Ludachris]

Zachery, where is it not required - in the vB settings or in the Paypal account settings? I tried removing the URL from the Paypal settings in my Paypal account and Paypal spit back an error saying that...

Does anyone know if this exploit is happening on up to date forums with no products installed? For this particular vb installation I've gone through and changed all vb admin passwords, MySQL password,...

This is a good thread. I've been one of those webmasters with a large forum that has been hesitant to upgrade due to how customized our forum is and the lack of clear upside to vB4. We have a fairly large...

Great info, thanks a ton. I never did find the cause of this issue, and it's still hit and miss....
