The funny thing is I set up two proper accounts:

mail@ and paypal@ but the Sandbox changed them to the ones above.

When I then tried to add these accounts to my domain it said they were invalid and I couldn’t.

This is odd.

Paypal shows me this:

Transaction ID: 3C580528A15245629
The payment for your purchase from Hedley Phillips’s Test Store has been completed.

eShop is showing this:

1 2009-05-09 at 22:55 Peter Fart 1 £67.00 no Processing… Move #1

and the paypal Notification of Payment Received email shows:
Transaction ID: 3H386580B8169104T

while the Receipt for Your Payment email shows:
Transaction ID: 3C580528A15245629

The transaction numbers are different between the Notification of payment (sellers email) and the receipt email (buyers email).

Ok, thanks.

Meanwhile I have changed my permalinks from:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

which doesn’t work.

To the standard WordPress:

/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

which does!!

so it seems that having the /index.php in there sorts out all my worries and I now have permalinks working, eShop working and slightly fewer grey hairs.

I will continue to test and just put up with the index.php rather than spend hours and hours trying to sort this.

Thanks again for your help. Appreciated, and I will test the new version when it is released next week and report back.

Seems that 404 redirect is not the answer as it ruins the php session and means that I can’t add anything to my basket.

So, it is back to the drawing board to try and find a proper permalinks fix for my install.

Surely someone has it working on IIS6 and can give me some pointers?

thanks.

NOTE: I have disabled all the other plugins and retested (as per a previous thread). Still have the same issue.

Elfin,

funny how revisiting a problem can sometimes solve it.

I went through the solutions on the WordPress codex page step by step and by using custom 404 pages with the following code:

<?php
$qs = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$pos = strrpos($qs, '://');
$pos = strpos($qs, '/', $pos + 4);
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($qs, $pos);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
include('index.php');
?>

seem to (fingers crossed) have permalinks working a treat. I can now add a page and it works automatically which is great. Yippee!

The bad news is… that when I try to add a product to my basket, it sends me to: /shopping-cart/ and says: “Your shopping cart is currently empty.”

thanks.
