    i know this is optional anyhow people signup and go to paypal and pay their money and get sent back to the payment successful page. but paypal or amember is giving me errors here it is

    i also noted the error is coming from url "/amembers/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipnr.php" rather than the "/amembers/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php" it tells me to optionally use at the botton of the plugin screen...


    any ideas,, it ends their packages are not activating and i am having to go manually activate the package. after this error. thanks now for any help...

    Hey Slo,

    yes it is i just went and checked to make sure, and it is the exact same email as the email in my paypal that has primary next to it. thanks for the reply and i would appreciate any help,.,, i am tempted to turn off the verification enabled option to bypass the IPN process but i am not sure that is safe, not that i have anything of value,....
