Paypal PDT token erases itself when settings saved

[emlev]

I followed your instructions to get my PayPal IDT token and entered it into the field in Settings > General called “PayPal PDT Identity Token.” I clicked “update options.” I scrolled back up and the code I’d pasted had disappeared.

I tried deactivating all my plugins other than security plugins, but the problem remained. I tried disabling all plugins but when I returned to the WP Affiliate general settings screen, I got this error message (private info removed below):

Warning: get_headers(https://secure.MYWEBSITE.com:443/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/affiliates/login.php) [function.get-headers]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in [PATH TO FILE PARTIALLY DELETED FOR PRIVACY BUT ENDING WITH: wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/wp_aff_utility_functions.php on line 56]

How can I get beyond the error and get this code to save so my purchases made through affiliate links will be tracked?

Thank you.

I think you may have an issue with just saving the settings. Do a test for me…. change any other value in your affiliate plugin settings then hit the “save” button. Did the change you make update/save correctly?

What version of the plugin are using?

I’m using version 5.5.8.

I just tried changing the cookie life by one day and saved settings. The setting didn’t change. So you’re right, it’s a saving settings problem. Now what?

First, lets try loading a fresh copy of the plugin. Do the following:

OK, I’ll try this as soon as I can. HostGator is having problems today and my website has been down much of the day. Thanks for your help.

Website finally came back up. I tried what you suggested and the token seems to save now. Will continue with setup. Thanks!
