One of the recent updates (1.4.0 or 1.4.1) somehow cleared the live account (non-sandbox) merchant ID causing my site to have broken donations without notifying me… I restored from backup for now until I found a better solution…
I’m really sorry that this error happened to your website. So far we’ve had 25,000 downloads of the new version and this is the only report that I’ve had for this issue. We thoroughly tested upgrading from the previous version to the new version to make sure that nothing broke during upgrading.
Perhaps some other plugin on your site caused this conflict, and that resulted in this issue.
It’s always tough to see reviews like this because I really have put my heart into making this plugin a success. This version of the plugin I worked on for the past 6 months. If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Good to know, and appreciate the clarification Scott.
I will have to test the plugin upgrade again in the future. One thing that would be awesome for you to take a look at (and would make me more likely to keep using your future plugin releases) would be this commit here.
I know it is for the previous feature release, but if this could be added to 1.4.x that would be really great.
I just released version 1.4.2 which adds this image feature!
Please note that this will only work with PayPal Standard. For the past hour I tried to get it working with PayPal Commerce as well, but it’s not a supported feature by PayPal. I tried seeing if it was possible to make it work using CSS for PayPal Commence buttons, but it does not provide consistent results.
I hope that helps and you are able to continue using the plugin. If you able to to change your review, it would be very much appreciated!
I attempted the plugin upgrade to 1.4.2 but unfortunately I had the same result, plugin appears to lose the live PayPal account configuration rendering the existing donation buttons broken…
