Recurring Payment Button Error

[carlingnicole]

Hi,

We are receiving an error when trying to click through the paypayl button generated by S2 Member for a monthy recurring payment. If I create a button using the S2 button generator that is not for a recurring payment, everything seems to go through fine, however a recurring button produces this error from Paypal:

"Invalid Regular period. You must specify valid values for the A3, P3, and T3 parameters for a subscription."

here is the shortcode that the generator produces:
[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Inversion Class / Unlimited Access" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="kineticvigilantes.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="M" ra="5.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

We've tried the long version of the code also and it produces the same errors.

We are shooting for a monthly recurring charge of $5.00 with no trial period. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Nicole.

Your theme or another plugin may be interfering with the post's parsing. Could you try the TwentyEleven theme as a test and see if you get the error? Or disable other plugins and see if the error goes.

You may try the TrueEdit plugin with all content filters disabled except do_parsecode and see if that helps. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/trueedit/

I hope that helps.

Hi there - I'm having the exact same issue and using another theme is not an option. Any other suggestions? Did you get this issue resolved? Here is the code the S2Member program generated, the long version:

I had a problem like this with the Striking theme. It has a [raw][/raw] bracketing which solves the issue
