    I am using paypal and wish to remove the option for the client to select american express (due to the recent policy change) from this list of accepted payment types. Can someone point me to the script/file where I would edit this?

    thanks so much!

    ok. Edit /amember/plugins/payment/paypal_nvp/paypal_nvp.inc.php and remove amex from this array :
    'type_options' => array('Visa' => 'Visa',
    'MasterCard' => 'MasterCard',
    'Discover' => 'Discover',
    'Amex' => 'American Express'),

    thanks so much Alexander! I'm going to do that if I can't get past step 3 of the setup for installation of V4 on my replica instance on AWS. Getting the following error and not sure how to proceed:

    • Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket. Try to use 127.0.0.1 for MySQL Host setting. If this will not help contact hosting support and ask to provide correct MySQL Host
    • MySQL Error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) at /opt/bitnami/apps/moodle/htdocs/amember/library/Am/Setup.php line 103(2002) in query: new PDO
