My Paypal IPN and Express NOT WORKING after Paypal Expansion

[DrByte]

On a strictly technical level there is nothing in ZC that Would cause those changes on pay pal's side to hurt the Zen Cart software.

If the problem is really and truly a direct result of PayPals change, then you can't fix your Problems by doing anything in ZC unless you've altered the core code to create specific direct dependencies.

So, the symptoms you describe must be caused by something else. Either a hosting/firewall problem (which is what PayPal's article is written towards) or a completely different thing.

Notwithstanding v139 has been out for a very long time. If you keep putting off the upgrade you're just setting yourself up to be hacked.

And, indeed, as has been pointed out already, your current problems might actually be a direct result of using old software and getting hacked. Have you even checked?

I don't think it is a hack problem. Other methods of payment, including Paypal Website Payments are working fine. Thanks for your comments. I know I need to upgrade. :) I also know that this symptom did not appear until the paypal change started. I think we will start to see some chatter about this from others soon.

Are you using *both* the PayPal Standard (IPN) and the Express modules?

[styledata]

Yes I am using express and IPN and actually a third, website payment pro which is still working as it does not require going to the paypal site. All three worked fine until sometime in the last few days.
Thank you

... interesting - Try uninstalling the IPN module - you don't need it with the Express module.
