eStore seems to be adding "+" signs in for spaces randomly on new orders

[CC]

Sometimes, an item name appears in the IPN handle debug log looks like this:

“[04/04/2017 11:35 PM] – SUCCESS :Item Name: This is My Fathers World – PDF (Studio Use)”

and other times on other orders in the same environment, the same product looks like this:

“[04/05/2017 12:07 AM] – SUCCESS :Item Name: This+is+My+Fathers+World+-+PDF+(Studio+Use)”

Of course, this causes havoc with other things like third party integrations.

Sometimes it’s the one that has the plus (“+”) signs inserted and sometimes it’s not.

This is actually PayPal’s doing. They have applied a new patch/upgrade to their site and it is now adding “+” character to where the space characters are for the “item_name” parameter in the IPN notification. Whats bizarre is that it is being done randomly.

I believe PayPal will fix this for sure. However, we have just updated our plugin to cater for this (so we are not waiting for paypal to fix it). We have applied a change so the plugin so it can detect when paypal does this and work accordingly.

If you load a fresh copy of the plugin now, you should be good:

Ok, that seems to resolve it. Thanks!
