 * Hi,
    Thanks so much for creating this plugin. Seems like one of the only ones
   that’s free for subscriptions!
 * I am having a bit of trouble setting it up and wonder if you could help please.
   I have gone through the process of setting up a product and plan on Stripe, and
   have completed all the steps in Direct Stripe, including creating the button.
   However, there is a spinning circle (presumably this means it is saving?) that
   doesn’t stop spinning. When I exit the Direct Stripe page and revisit it, the
   button has not saved. All the information I have inputted has been deleted.
 * Also, when I input test card details into the button on my website it says “you
   did not set a valid publishable key […].” Do you know what might be causing this?
 * Thank you so much in advance,
 * Kate

 * Hello Kate,
 * Thank you for using Direct Stripe.
 * I have been aware of issues to save options when using an option from a theme
   that blocked requests formed by long URLs.
 * Do you have this kind of option enabled ?
 * Could you test again after switching to default twentyNineteen theme and turning
   off other plugins ? That would confirm or discard an incompatibility issue.
 * Also for the Publishable key issue, could you make sure that you pasted the correct
   API keys, live keys in live input field and Test keys in test input field.
 * Best wishes,
 * Nico

 * Hi Nico,
 * Thanks so much for your quick reply. I will test with twentyNineteen. If there
   is an incompatibility issue, will I be unable to work with my current theme?
 * Thanks a lot,

 * Hello Kate,
 * In case this issue disappears when disabling the theme or a plugin, I would try
   to find the cause of the incompatibility.
    If nothing happens after deactivating
   all other plugins and switching theme and the issue persists, I would ask for
   the versions you are using for WordPress, Direct Stripe, jQuery and your server
   details such as PHP version, CDN used or CloudFlare, or extra security Firewall/
   service…

 * Hi Nico,
 * I tried it with the twentyNineteen theme. The button is still not saving. The
   blue spinning disk appears and then disappears for each step of setting up the
   button apart from the final step. Ie when I click ‘create button’ the disk continues
   to spin, which I assume means it hasn’t yet saved the button. Navigating away
   from the page and going back to it reveals no button has been saved.
 * I was using Direct Stripe 2.1.10.3, but have just updated to 2.1.12. I am using
   the latest version of WordPress. Server details: PHP version 7, Apache 2.4.
 * Thank you so much for your help.

 * Could the problem be caused by me not activating my Stripe account? I haven’t
   activated it and am just using the test API keys.

 * Hello Kate,
 * Did you also tried deactivating all other plugins ?
 * When you say “I was using Direct Stripe 2.1.10.3, but have just updated to 2.1.12”:
   Did you test with both version ?
 * Are you using a CDN, Cloudflare or a security service on the server side ?
 * I’m not sure I understand “activated Stripe account”, did you paste the Stripe
   API keys in their corresponding input field (Live or Test) ?
 * Best wishes,
 * Nico

 * Hi Nico,
 * Thanks for your response.
 * I’ve tried deactivating all plugins apart from the one that came with the theme(
   Kadence Toolkit).
 * I tested with both versions of Direct Stripe.
 * I’m not sure about the CDN, Cloudfare or security service. How can I check this?
   My host is Hostinger.
 * Yes, I pasted the Stripe API keys in their corresponding input field. I only 
   used the test keys, not the live ones. I haven’t activated my Stripe account 
   to work with live keys yet (ie I haven’t put in my bank information etc). I assume
   the test keys should still work though!
 * Thanks a lot,

 * Hi Kate,
 * In the post you mention, the issue was caused by the “X Filter Long URL Strings”
   option set in iThemes options. That was the issue I mentioned above, make sure
   you don’t have this kind of option activated in your theme or plugin.
 * Are you able to add a button to a page using a shortcode like :
    [direct-stripe
   type=”payment” amount=”500″]
 * If yes could you share a link where I could test this button ?
 * Best wishes,
 * Nicolas

 * Hi Nico,
 * It’s the same with that shortcode. A button is created, and the checkout pops
   up when I click on the button. But when the details are inserted I get the following
   message:
 * “You did not set a valid publishable key. Call Stripe.setPublishableKey() with
   your publishable key. For more info see [https://stripe.com/docs/stripe.js&#8221](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe.js&#8221);
 * Can I send you the link privately, not through the support forum please?
 * I haven’t seen anything in the theme with the long url strings, but I could be
   missing something.
 * Thanks again!
 * Kate
