- something is wrong. Do you have your sandbox paypal ipn notification configured and pointing to your blogs ipn script are-paypal-ipn.php check this …
- It will probably not work if you will only change tag name as easy paypal contains attributes inside tag an are-paypal don’t … Try to use some mysql script or php+mysql migration script to solve your problem.
- You are a second one to ask. I have this request on my task list. I’ll try to find some time to programm it.
- I am not sure 100 % if it works with paypal pro. You can try. Just start a new blog and try. It would be good if somebody coud do an investigation. Let me know if you will succeed…
- You will have to decrease price everyday by hand everyday for every post and for whole blog.
Changing the price will not ask the users to pay again as I knew – but check this on your test blog. If prise change will result in a paypal button for users who actually paid let me know. Users must not get paypal button in any case expiration date is set or not set as they are recorded into paid users table togather with actual expiration date and are free to read thei purchased content until this recorded expiration date expires:)You can have public content and paid content on one blog this is one of key benefits of this plugin. You have to identify hidden content using metatags. Check how to use section in admin.
In order to let your users read all the paid content of the blog by purchasing any of the posts use blog price section in admin. This section specifies the price for all current and future hidden content on the site

- FAQ
paypal sends ipn posts to the blog and everything what comes from paypal gets registered in there.
Yes csv or txt export of the data could be a good thing. - FAQ
Content will be hidden if you will have no price for it – no 0, but compleately empty – try to clear it using clear button next to post price. this is my bug I should check if its 0 or empty before sending it to paypal. I will put this to be fixed for next version. - Features
If plugin is activated it ads metatag into header and tells the google to index the content but prevents it from caching. You can check sites header and metatags to understand how it works.
Plugin is also able to detect googlebot and if googlebot comes to the site content is exposed to it as if it was user who purchased the content. As google is not allowed to cache the sites contetn it will never show the content under cached version
So you blog can still be indexed by google your users can find it by keywords residing in a hidden area and they still has to pay for it … - Are PayPal 1.7.7 version was released
try to click the button “restore defaults” or similar (I do not recall the label of the button) under templates. It should be ok. - Are PayPal 1.7.7 version was released
Check generated html for buttons maybe you will notice something unusual. Try to reset button templates if so. Try to identify if this is not due to your paypal account configuration.

What do you think about dual login? I have a future todo item on my todo list – to have a paid membership feature.

Hi,
your plugin is exactly what I’m looking for. I want people to subscribe to hidden content on my website. Can you please tell me for which PayPal Website Payment solution I need to subscribe. Website Payments Pro or is Website Payments Standard sufficient (see http://tinyurl.com/6dorgm)? I think it’s Pro but I’m not sure. If Standard is suficcient fine, then I don’t have to pay a monthly fee for Pro.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day
Boris

Thks for the quick reply and your advice.

When trying to activate your plugin on WordPress 2.7, I encountered the following error:
Parse error: parse error in \wp-content\plugins\are-paypal\are-paypal.php on line 1006
I was curious if you have ever encountered this before, or what I may be doing wrong.
Comment by Donald — April 11, 2009 @ 7:47 am
Check if the version is 1.5.9.
row 1006 is the last row of the file. it means parenthesis is ruined somethere.
try to use on a test blog without any other plugins installed.
let me know about your experiment results

Positive energies this finds YOU LOVing life!
LOVE the plug in, thank YOU sooooo very much for providing!! I am looking forward to recommending to ALL :O)
QUICK QUESTION:
I am planning a “Celebration Week” Launch for my product.
The plan is to offer the product at daily incremental prices for the first week: starting at 99% off the regular price on day one, then 75% off day two…..leading up to the final regular price where it shall then remain.
Based upon what I have read, I am worried that changing the price, will cause those who have paid at the “Celebration Week” prices to be prompted to PAY AGAIN….which of course, I do NOT want.
Can this be avoided by simply NOT including an expiration date?
One more quick question…..
We shall be having some “public” and some “paid” posts on site…..
However……it is a ONE time PAYMENT for ALL paid posts……in other words, regardless of which post they choose to pay for {as the paypal prompt is available through all ‘paid posts’}……we want ALL paid posts to BE available to them, once they have paid for any.
Can you please just review the process by which we are able to accomplish this?
Thank YOU soooo very much, again, I am really looking forward to putting this application to use, letting YOU KNOW how fantabulous it is and of course spreading the word to ALL I KNOW :O)
Blessed Light,
Aline

Hi – does this work with paypal Pro?
What I’m looking for is something that provides a payment page where the user can enter in their credit card details (or provide paypal info) and if paying by credit card they do not leave the site and are updated to an active user.
I use Paypal pro, currently using WPB Paypal on an older WP install and I want to upgrade to 2.7.1 with a new paypal plugin.
thanks!

Hello I’m receiving the following error:
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.
Can someone give me a hint what to look at? I tried testing on the Sandbox first and couldn’t get it to log me in even.

Hi
I need to change from easypaypal to ARE_Paypal, however changing the tags on all the pages would be a nightmare. Easypaypal tags are [pay] [/pay], could you tell me where I could change the [Are_PayPal_LoginPlease]‘ and ‘[/Are_PayPal_LoginPlease] tags in this plugin
Thanks
Comment by Andy — May 2, 2009 @ 7:39 am
It will probably not work if you will only change tag name as easy paypal contains attributes inside tag an are-paypal don’t … Try to use some mysql script or php+mysql migration script to solve your problem.
Comment by Aurimas — May 2, 2009 @ 4:24 pm
Ok, will do, I am also getting this error message:
The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.
Any hints on this one?
Comment by Andy — May 2, 2009 @ 4:28 pm
hello,
I have your plugin installed, i have the sandbox mode on, i have a page set to 0 to never expire, when i pay with a test account, it takes me back to the page, and it is still locked, is this just in sandbox mode? or is something wrong
Comment by Eckline — May 8, 2009 @ 5:17 am
something is wrong. Do you have your sandbox paypal ipn notification configured and pointing to your blogs ipn script are-paypal-ipn.php check this …
