Registrants have status recorded as Pending from incomplete transaction even after PayPal has collected fee and confirmed payment

I have been over the PayPal processor setup multiple times and believe I have followed the text.

I have created an event and assigned the PayPal processor to it. When I do a registration civicrm accepts the registration and presents me to the PayPal site. the payment is made , charging the registrant and completing the payment to my merchant account, PayPal returns me to the registration page with the message "Your registration payment has been submitted to test ( test is the name of the fees for this event) for processing. Please print this page for your records." PayPal merchant account sends out a notice to both my PayPal merchant email and the registrant email confirming the transaction.

when I look in the event registration list to view the registrants, there are no attendees paid. Only when I look in Pending from incomplete transaction do I find the listing with the pending notice attached.

CiviCRM version: 4.6 CMS version: wordpress 4.3.1 MySQL version: 5.5.42 PHP version: 4.0.10.7

  • I reckon you will need to give a little more information for people to be able to provide a decent answer? Unfortunately I have no experience with PayPal so I can not help you :-(

  • Solution to problem - working on old WP install (4years old) - removed the htaccess file in the wp-content folder which made it impossible for outside sources to access php code. works now !!!
