Expiration not working

[danisrael]

I've set up a WordPress site with s2Member and a free business PayPal account. Everything seems to work smoothly, except the subscription never expires. I'm running these on 1 and 2 day non-recurring subscriptions.

As near as I can tell, the expiration notice arrives from PayPal before the IPN notice of subscription. How can I tell what is going on here to track down this problem.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Dan. Thanks for your inquiry.

The best way to see what's going on behind-the-scene is to enable IPN logging.
Go to: s2Member -> PayPal Options -> Account Details -> Debugging/Logging

Once logging is enabled, you can see a full report of all communication between PayPal/s2Member inside:
/wp-content/plugins/s2member-logs/paypal-ipn.log

This report will also indicate a list of actions that s2Member takes in response to each IPN event.

Jason thanks for your help. This issue turned out to be my use of SUBSCRIBE function instead of the BUY NOW. Using the Buy Now feature seems to be working. Thanks.
