Can you check with your host to see if any inbound or outbound traffic between you and PayPal is being blocked for any reason? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/ipn-request-could-not-be-verified-by-paypal#post-259998 Sat, 18 May 2013 12:43:25 +0000 DavidGraham 259998@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a function that adds credits to a users account when they purchase credits via a Gravity Forms form. This has been working fine until a transaction came in today where the payment status hasn't changed from Processing and there is no transaction information.</p> <p>I enabled the logging addon and resent the IPN and get the following error </p> <pre><code>DEBUG --&gt; Response: WP_Error Object ( [errors] =&gt; Array ( [http_request_failed] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; couldn&#39;t connect to host ) ) [error_data] =&gt; Array ( ) ) ERROR --&gt; IPN request could not be verified by PayPal. Aborting.</code></pre> <p>Any idea what could be causing this? </p>
