Cant get my pay pal button to work. Whenever I use it I get the following message:
"Invalid Regular period. You must specify valid values for the A3, P3, and T3 parameters for a subscription."

I check the coding and the values for A3, P3. and T3 are correct.

I want a annual non reoccuring membership for $36.50. Here are the values the button shows:
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="36.50" />
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="Y" />

as far as I can tell that correct? Please assist. Thanks in advance

Could be a plugin conflict try disabling the plugins

I tried that already...didnt work

what about a theme conflict?

I tried it with the twenty ten theme and got the same problem...i also tried with a different pay pal account and got the same problem...I tried removing and reinstalling the plugin...I deleted the plugin and reinstalled it...still get the same message...Im stumped

How are you generating the buttons over at PayPal? Or is it in s2Member? are you using the shortcode in your pages? Are you able to post a link

Im generating the buttons with the directly from the s2member plugin in wordpress...I tried the short code and the snippet..here is a link to my clients website page im using it one...
http://muslimbureau.us/?page_id=249

its a problem parsing the code, I would say its a theme/plugin conflict try disabling plugins/themes again and remember to clear the browser cache

that was it..it was the theme im using and one of my pluginns...thanks for the help!

Ive tried this plugin on about 7 different themes so far and its not compatible with any that sucks this is a great plugin...

if i made the button in paypal, would that cause any issues with the plugin?

Which plugin is it? Do you remember the names of the themes it doesn't work with? I'm trying to make a list of incompatible themes/plugins.

Thanks!

It could cause problems, though it won't cause problems if you follow Jason's instructions on how to do them:

That said, it is recommended to make them over at s2Member.

Hope this helps.
