Paypal "Invalid Response"

Question

Im having problems with paypal standard. All of my orders are going into pending in woocommerce, but they are completed from paypal. It was working fine up until yesterday. Have checked paypal notification and nothing seems to be the problem with them posting IPN. Have even called paypal and they suggested it must be a problem with woocommerce.

All I get is a " Received invalid response from PayPal" message. Nothing else.

Very grateful for any help.

Here is the log:

08-03-2014 @ 09:52:58 - Received invalid response from PayPal

Answer 1

[body] => INVALID

PayPal is returning Invalid, but its still talking to them. Maybe before this:

if ( 'yes' == $this->debug ) $this->log->add( 'paypal', 'IPN Response: ' . print_r( $response, true ) );

Replaced this with:

if ( 'yes' == $this->debug ) $this->log->add( 'paypal', 'IPN Request: ' . print_r( $params, true ) );

Then checked the log - it told the request its making to paypal.
