Let me explain.</p> <p>I have form set up as follows:</p> <p>- the form is set up to publish posts;<br /> - through a filter in a functions file that Alex provided me, posts are set to go to private;<br /> - I also have the User Registration, MailChimp and PayPal Add-Ons installed and activated (and am using all of them);<br /> - the form is set to redirect to the private post upon form submission and after payment.</p> <p>Ordinarily, absent the PayPal step, subscribers or other members who submit a post in this way would be redirected to their private post and they would be identified as the author of the post.</p> <p>However, with the PayPal Add-On activated, the following things happen:</p> <p>- the post is not registered as being written by them (instead, it defaults to the default author); and<br /> - they are not able to access their private post upon the redirect (instead, they are taken to a 404 error page).</p> <p>I am sure that it's the PayPal Add-On that's causing this because it all works fine again when I deactivate that and only that Add-On.</p> <p>My site has not yet been launched so I can't give you a URL. However, I can send one of the GF crew an admin logon if you need to take a look at the site itself.</p> <p>I really hope there's a fix for this, as the Paypal Add-On makes my business flow optimal. Without it, I'd have to revert to a much more clunky approach.</p> <p>Many thanks in advance for your help.</p> <p>Richard</p> <p>P.S. Sorry, but I put this in the wrong forum but can't change that now. </p>
