# Endless problems with PMPro

 * I am sad to say, that my experience with PMP’s Paypal transactions is anything
   but possitive. After errors creating levels and figuring out that every field
   needs to have a value of 0 even though the checkbox says don’t use those fields
   I was finally able to get to a point of testing the plugin. I then found error
   after error:
 * 1. Free level raises error as it tries to convert a “” string into an integer
   when there is no discount code.
 * 2. When testing PayPal express, I noticed there were no amounts shown in Paypal
   for the re-occurring payments are not reflected anywhere. Upon accepting of the
   payment I get re-directed back to the PMPro in my site and the confirmation shows
   a message of “The PayPal Token was lost”. On checking the url I can see the review
   and token value are present. I then proceeded to check the order table and found
   there was not even a record for the order present.
 * 3. Then testing PayPal standard I noticed that there are still no orders records
   created.
 * On investigation I noticed the insert statement for the pmpro_membership_orders
   was unable to find the UserId and the CertificateID. these fields are both being
   populated with “” and this causes an error when trying to convert to int.
 * I am also testing out another membership/subscription plugin, it has none of 
   these problems.

 * Im sorry to hear you are having these issues, remember PMP is fairly new in the
   making, and people like us testing and using it, is what makes it better. So 
   the creator can correct these issues. You should try and use this with STRIPE
   gateway thats the gateway im using and its PERFECT ! not to mention, you know
   Jason the owner has a paid support and help on his site, i think its like $99
   bucks for the year, unlimited help and support and etc. that will give you priority
   help with issues as you mentioned before if you really want to use the paypal.
   Im STRIPE all In ! Just wanted to buzz you this. [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/)

 * Hi
 * I really love the plugin in terms of the features it offers. I’m just a little
   reluctant to pay for something that might not end up working in the end. I have
   no problem paying for something if I know it’s going to do the job for me that
   is needed.
 * With regards to stripe I am in South Africa so the only option we really have
   is PayPal so I need that to work.

 * my I ask what version of PMP do you have installed. 1.5.8 there has been a lot
   of updates in this latest version? TIP: download it direct from wordpress [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/)
 * I noticed if you download it from the website of the creator its still the older
   version.

 * Thanks for the response. Jason has found that all the issues were in fact due
   to bugs in the plugin that became apparent on a Windows OS. He seems to have 
   corrected the issues.

 * Ladoquin, one of our customers was having similar issues.
 * Are you running on a Windows/IIS server? Do you have MySQL “strict mode” enabled?
 * Turning off “strict mode” might fix this. Otherwise, we’re working to resolve
   these DB issues in version 1.6 which is coming out soon.
 * Sorry you had trouble. We don’t typically test on a lot of Windows setups and
   rely on people like you to discover these things and bring them to our attention.
   🙂 So thanks for doing that.

   to test.

 * Got the issue: it’s a bug in the latest version (1.7.0.1). “The PayPal Token 
   was lost.”
 * I’m using the 1.6.1 version right now, after a db cleaning, everything works 
   fine.

 * Hint: After a db cleaning and a fresh install of the 1.6.1 pmp plugin, you can
   also upgrade it to the latest 1.7.0.1. It works.

 * I too am getting the “PayPal Token was lost” message when clients try to register.
 * I am using the 1.7.0.4 version. I’m not that tech savvy and have found this plugin
   quite frustrating after having problems with not being able to create membership
   levels.
 * Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 * How can I get version 1.6.1 to try?
