    Hello. Hope to find out what I can use to enable Paypal payment.

    Recently I tried eStore, a plugin for WordPress that will send an encrypted download link to the buyer automatically after payment. A very simple script as I only sell maybe 10 items so I do not need the bells and whistles of the other plugins which require countless setup and configuration.

    I have WordPress installed in a directory that is protected by aMember. After payment, PayPal will communicate with one of the script's php to "ask" it to send the email with the link.

    This is where the problem starts. Because the php file is in a protected directory, Paypal can't communicate with it thus no email is sent.

    Is there any script or plugin, that will allow me to sell a couple of items, without messing with database and inventories, and works in a aMember protected WordPress?

    Many thanks.

    1) it may be possible to edit the htaccess to allow the paypal ipn to hit the php script.
    2) can you place a second version of wordpress, in an unprotected directory?
    3) can you place the php file its trying to hit in an unprotected directory, but still integrated with the original wordpress?

    Hey David. Thank for your reply.

    1) I do not know much about editing htaccess and wouldn't dare to do it and lock myself out after that.

    2) I did create another Wordpress outside the protected directory but that means non-members can view the pages and click on the Buy buttons to make the purchase. (The purchase are for members only).

    3) I'll ask the author if that's possible.

    Thank you once again.
    Francis
