    Thank you Key Master.

    You are spot on, increasing permission to 777 for ipn_handle_debug.log restores correct IPN email behavour. All IPN email fulfillments are as they should be regardless of number of items in cart.

    Nothing but SUCCESS throughout now-written-to ipn_handle_debug.log file.

    I couldn’t be happier.

    Many thanks and respect

    Dave

    ps. what are the security ramifications of having a 777 .log file in my wordpress directory, it leaves me feeling a little uneasy?

    Hi Ivy

    Thank you for the get back. I am working from Australia so timezone issues delayed my response. From amin007 debug steps;

    1) “Enable Debug” checkbox, yes

    2)”Use Automatic Post Payment Processing” checkbox,yes

    3) Permission check http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php gets errors;

    Debug is enabled. Check the ipn_handle_debug.log file for debug output.

    Warning: fopen(ipn_handle_debug.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/davidrossmacdonald.com/web/DavesWeb2.0/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php on line 740

    Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /www/davidrossmacdonald.com/web/DavesWeb2.0/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php on line 741

    Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /www/davidrossmacdonald.com/web/DavesWeb2.0/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php on line 742

    This error message repeats 4 more times.

    NB, IPN notification emails stop when 4 or more goods in cart are bought and customer buying details don’t log properly when more than 1 item is purchased.

    Permissions;

    wp-cart-for-digital-products (775)

    paypal.php (664)

    ipn_handle_debug.log (644)

    paypal.php code lines called in error

    LINE: 739// Write to log

    LINE: 740 $fp=fopen($this->ipn_log_file,’a’);

    LINE: 741 fwrite($fp, $text );

    LINE: 742 fclose($fp); // close file

    So, I increased the permissions for the debug file and now everything seems to work well. IPN email notifications are now sent to buyer & seller correctly regardless of number of items in cart, all download links viable, all good.

    So, increasing the permissions to the ipn_handle_debug.log has solved my problem, where earlier due to the weird systematic ways in which IPN emails were being handled I assumed the error was more sinister.

    Thank you IVY and eStore

    much respect, Dave

    I have the exact same problem, but it endures even after the IPN paypal option is enabled and the thankyou URL added.

    What is bamboozling is that eStore still does not write anything to the paypal and debug files .. they remain empty after successful real world transactions but even thought the IPN info on the thankyou page is all correct, I nore does the customer receive the product sale emails … only the paypal emails.

    Any insights or double cross checks out there? Many thanks.

    OH, BTW … if I DISABLE the Use WordPress Mailing System option on the settings page … THIS PROBLEM GOES AWAY … but still the ipn_handle_debug.log is blank BUT the paypal.php is now been written to.

    So, for my purposes, I will not be using the wordpress mailing system.

    this problem is solved.

    Thank you WZP, appreciate this.

    It all looks like it is in order permissions wise.

    But here is my suspicion. I have never been able to add plugins or themes using the auto function in the admin dashboard as wordpress can’t seem to find the plugins folder or has an issue with the ftp connection. I have to do all the theme and plugin stuff manually using Transmit. That makes me suspicious of many things.

    So secondly, I am now real world testing my store with real penny sales and am having the identical issues as kimpomares (5 days ago) https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/all-works-fine-in-sandbox-mode-but-no-registration-email-sent-in-real-mode with paypal email receipts and IPN page on site working perfectly but NO product sale details with download links being emailed to myself nor customer.

    AND seeing that the log files aren’t being written to, well … there’s the rub.

    Insights most welcomed

    Hello

    In my case seller and buyer emails are not sent even though purchases are approved … my debug log has these messages in it … what permission levels should my wordpress site have as this looks like a permission thing.

    Debug is enabled. Check the ipn_handle_debug.log file for debug output.

    Warning: fopen(ipn_handle_debug.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php on line 740

    Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /www/mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php on line 741

    Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /www/mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/paypal.php on line 742

    with thanks, Dave

    Howdy

    I am using the Thematic theme and eStore and have image distortions (elongated aspect ratios, cut off images) not only in the fancy display mode but with ALL the images that instance within tables and div’s when scaling to fit a required content area.

    This problem only occurs with IE and Firefox. The images are already cropped to square.

    Is this a broader theme / browser compatibility issue and is there a known fix?

    Any insights greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Shop goes live next week!

    Dave
