my ipn is reading www.mysite.com/podcast/ and not the correct www.mysite.com so when I generate buttons the return url is broken. how do I fix this?

I'm using the free version of S2member.

If you're talking about IPN for Paypal, in s2member check out Paypal Option section. And then in Paypal, these are their instructions:

Click Profile on the My Account tab.
Click Instant Payment Notification Preferences in the Selling Preferences column.
Click Choose IPN Settings to specify your listener’s URL and activate the listener.

Or are you talking about Wordpress? You would change your Url in Settings, General.

thanks for the reply judith,

I guess my problem is that in general settings, my "wordpress address url" is different from my "site address url" but that is the way I want it to be.

my wordpress address is:
www.mysite.com/podcast/

and my site address is:
www.mysite.com

yesterday I changed the IPN in paypal from www.mysite.com/podcast/ to www.mysite.com but S2member doesn't seem to be picking up the change.

thanks for your help.

cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

The IPN URL that you configure on PayPal should match exactly what is shown in WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> PayPal IPN Integration, regardless of what's configured for your Site Address or WordPress Address.

your absolutely right.. apparently paypal's return url was correct and S2member's IPN was correct, I'm really not positive this is what I did to fix my original problem, but perhaps allowing free subscribers allowed them to be correctly directed to my website's registration page. The only other thing I did was add a SSL certificate.
