Sorted! Looks like the stored API within WordPress got corrupted somehow. Luckily, I’d made a note of it elsewhere and replaced it within the Plugin. All working now! 👍

Ignore above message. Admin, please delete the message. It’s now working fine.

Cheers, Steve

Did you have any further thoughts on this issue? I’ll be pleased to hear from you with any ideas as to how to solve this.
Big thanks

Steve

Thanks for the quick reply… This is where I was looking, but couldn’t see anything of relevance. I’ve tried adjusting the size of the thumbnails, but it didn’t fix things…

I’m going to attempt to answer my own question… If there is anyone on here that understands where I’m going with this, any feedback would be appreciated.

In short, I was attempting to create a printed page that showed a variety of QR Codes that represented various donation amounts. These always worked ‘for a while’. Then, the QR codes fail with the message ‘‘something’s not right. This page does not exist’, after a period of time.

As I mentioned in my original post, the QR codes worked for some hours (I didn’t measure it exactly) and then the error message appeared.

So, on doing some investigation, I discovered:-

The PayPal URL to the various donations includes an ‘access token'(whatever they are!) as part of the url. Therefore the QR Code I created at the time was fine. However, the access token apparently has a finite life (I read 9 hours???). After that, if the access token becomes invalid – and therefore the URL doesn’t work – and another is generated (but of course, the QR code doesn’t know that – and fails, because the URL does not exist any longer).

I’ve concluded, therefore, it’s not possible to create a QR code that I can print that takes a user to the ‘donate’ page for different amounts. If this conclusion is incorrect, I’d love to know how to get this sorted. Thanks, Steve

Thanks Jose. Appreciate the quick reply and the detailed explanation. All is now clear for me now. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Cheers, Steve

Yes, it took far too long to get a response here, and I thought I’d been ignored or forgotten about – or no-one knew how to solve my problem. In the end, out of desperation, I reached out to MailPoet themselves who offered a similar suggestion. Problem now solved, thanks! 👍 Steve
