Return URL from Paypal Standard not working

https://hardcoresupps.com/cart/
ZC v222
PayPal Standard plugin
PHP 8.0

Just updated to v222. Everything was working fine until after the update, then the orders weren't showing in the admin, but the payments were showing in PayPal. Turned on IPN at PayPal, that fixed the orders showing in ZC admin, but the auto return, set to https://hardcoresupps.com/cart/index.php?main_page=checkout_process would not return to the site. Gave error message - something wrong. Turned off autoreturn and got a static page confirming order payment, but the 'return to site' button also gives error message. What do I need to change?

PayPal Standard is no longer recommended. You should upgrade to PayPal RESTful.
