I've recently switched the PayPal credentials from one account to another account but did not notice this problem until this morning. I've double checked the credentials, and they are working (with Amelia) on another site (so it's not likely anything at the paypal developer level).

You can view this problem live by going to the URL I provided and selecting the event on Oct 19th (it's not limited to this one) and attempting to pay via paypal. User will see ("sorry, there was an error processing your payment. please try again later."), but in the dev console you'll see:

1) 409 (Conflict) in checkout.js?ver=6.6.2:1667 when calling /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api&call=/payment/payPal

2) under that, ppxo_no_token_passed_to_payment

And more under that. 

Help!

I should also add that the site of mine this is working on is on 7.1, the site it's broken on is 7.8.

Hrm... so I discovered I had no problems with the event on Nov 10th. But the Oct 19th and 26th were doing this. Then I tried editing those ones... they wouldn't save. Then I tried duplicating... it wouldn't save. So I started anew and i just left the description at "test" and it worked. However, I then went to edit it and inserted the description I wanted in there... it failed saving. 

There's 2 problems here

1) Saving Event Edits

So I've been trying to figure out what's going on and I think the problem is once I setup custom pricing, the event can no longer be edited (it'll open it for an edit, but won't save). Even if I attempt to turn off the custom pricing, it won't save. 

I've duplicated everything about the 10/19 and 10/26 events (including the html mentioned below) except the custom pricing and no problems editing. As soon as I turn on custom pricing, it's broken for future editing.

2) Description contents breaking PayPal integration

So if I use the HTML description for these events I was using, the PayPal thing fails with this 409 (the HTML code includes an iframe embed for a youtube video). If I remove it and just put the word 'test' in, save it, suddenly paypal check-out works.

"transfer expired". Can you re-send?

Thank You,

It appears the custom pricing is okay now. However PayPal breaks if you have an iframe (at least a youtube, iframe) in the description.

Details were mentioned below. However it's pretty straight forward, add into the description of an event (from the HTML tab) a youtube embed iframe. Then save. 

Then try to complete registration for an event with PayPal and it will fail. Remove the iframe, save, and re-try registration, the paypal process is no longer broken.

I am using the reg process that comes from the [ameliaevents type=calendar] shortcode and selecting an event from the calendar. Just to cover all the bases, I do use a tag to limit what returns, but I can't imagine that having anything to do with this issue.

Hi Stefan, you did ask. I'm going to decline due to privacy law concerns for our clients. This should be easily reproducible. If it's not, then I'll accept for the time it's a problem with our setup only.

Very curious (as to you not being able to replicate). 

I have another Amelia site installed elsewhere that wouldn't have this privacy law concern, I'll try to duplicate there. 

Cut it from YouTubes embed, and in Amelia, pasting it at the bottom of the content in the "HTML Mode" Tab.
