IPN request could not be verified by PayPal

    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.

    I enabled the logging addon and resent the IPN and get the following error 

    DEBUG --> Response: WP_Error Object
(
    [errors] => Array
        (
            [http_request_failed] => Array
                (
                    [0] => couldn't connect to host
                )

        )

    [error_data] => Array
        (
        )

)

ERROR --> IPN request could not be verified by PayPal. Aborting.

    Any idea what could be causing this?

    Sounds like there is a communication error between your web host and PayPal. Can you check with your host to see if any inbound or outbound traffic between you and PayPal is being blocked for any reason?
