Using Sandbox for paying test

A gal at Paypal actually went to my site and registered, created a post, and paid via Paypal. She said it went through.

So I don't understand why on my dashboard it not only shows "pending" but shows "free."

Please check out screenshot. Thanks.

 

Hello,

We have checked theme and it works correctly with Paypal sandbox.

Thanks & Regards

If it is working perfectly, why is my screenshot showing "free" when it went through the payment process, and why is it showing "pending" if the payment went through. Thanks.

 

Hello,

We have check and work correctly.

If you cannot get correct result then please use IPN testing.

Thank you. I have to tell you that I got it to work. The fee that I am charging went through the Paypal sandbox successfully. But, I must be filling out the post fields incorrectly, because after I register, select my dashboard and then click on new ad, I must be filling in a field wrong, because when I'm done and the Paypal test money has been paid successfully, my post does not appear on the published site. If I preview it on my dashboard, it shows up. I am also still getting "free", under my list of posts in my dashboard, and it should be saying premium. Maybe that's why the post is not being published, because somewhere the message is saying this is a paying customer, but yet it is showing "free". Also, again, it is showing "pending" and it shouldn't be. Thanks.

 

Hello,

Some time fee charged through Paypal sandbox successfully but it not show the correct result.​

It always shown successfully if you putted correct Paypal credentials because of PayPal cookies and IP address.​

To over come this please follow above instruction to test your site with IPN testing.

Thanks & Regards

I sent my issue to Paypal tech support and this is their response.

Thank you for contacting Merchant Technical Services.
I have checked on your account and found that you are able to receive all the payments successfully.
However, Paypal is not being able to send the IPN message to your site successfully and the HTTP response that we are getting is 400 which says a bad request.
Kindly get your developer to verify the destination URL as stated below whether it is the correct one.
https://local60plusconnect.com/?post_id=168&post_title=Ready to date again&pay_method=paypal
Kindly take note that only upon receiving HTTP Response: 200, IPN message will be successfully sent to your end to notify successful payment and it will be automatically updated in your Wordpress dashboard. Kindly get back to me if you have any further enquiry and I will be glad to assist you.

Thanks.
Sincerely,

Additional post here. I have been told that there can be a problem with IPN and plugins. As I've mentioned, I have not tried to customize much at all, with either plugins, widgets, etc. But my concern is, Classicraft should itself be customized enough to do simple tasks. And making a payment successfully on a classified ad website theme should be easy.

 

Hello,
New 1.1.8 version available on members area if possible please install a fresh copy of theme.

Thanks & Regards
Pramod

 

Since I already have the 1.1.8 version installed, and you say to install a fresh copy, are you saying to "reinstall" the same version? Thanks.

 

Hello !

By following links please make sure what is your theme version.

I'm sorry. I don't have the 1.1.8 version but the 1.1.5 version. So, now, please tell me step by step how to install the updated version. Thanks.

 

Hello,

Please visit here
http://www.inkthemes.com/members/member

Put your username and password which you got while purchasing theme.
Or simply you can download theme from where you downloaded your present theme.

Thanks & Regards
Pramod

 

Sorry, but I don't know how to get the new version into my Wordpress. My present Wordpress/Classicraft doesn't give me an option to upload the newest version into it. And going to my member area and downloading it asks where I want it. It doesn't give a choice of Wordpress. Thanks.

 

Additional posting. I just spoke with GoDaddy, and we found on my site a place to update themes. There was only one listed called Enigma that I could update, or a name close to that. I don't even know why that was there. But I updated it anyway and it didn't affect my 1.1.5 Classicraft version that I am working with. But a Classicraft choice was not there. So the conclusion was Classicraft has not been published with Wordpress for me to update it from my site. Thanks.

 

Hello,

Login in above link and after that downoad classicraft theme. You will get a zip file and after that upload that zip from your computer on your wordpress.

Thanks & Regards

I followed your instructions. Went to the members section and downloaded supposedly the newest version in zip file. But you will see in one of the screenshots that it was not successful when I installed it on my Wordpress. Still shows 1.1.5 version. Help, please.

 

Hello,

Firstly you have to delete installed theme.
Downloaded theme should have classicrafttheme.zip name not classicrafttheme(1).zip.
After this install new downloaded zip.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

I am very upset to see how inkthemes is treating customers. I am having same issue with v 1.1.8 and it's been more than a week that i sent request to support and still no answer. inkthemes says the the problem is with sandbox paypal. I just want to say that i have tested sandbox papal with another non inkthemes classified themes and with one of the previous version of classicraft and it just works perfectly!!!

Concerning my negative reviews. If i was able to see these negative reviews before purchasing, i would have never purchased it. I consider that i have been cheated ( the first version i loaded had already a slider issue) and a lot of issues followed afterwards.

3 months and my website is still not set up. Please don't say again "keep patience".

I think that it's the right of customers to be aware of what they are purchasing. This is the way honest company work.

Best regards

 

So it's not an update but a deletion first? So we start all over again? You say it should be classicrafttheme.zip name. What is the name you are referring to? I have no idea.
