Is there some way to insert instructions under Paypal subscription info, that would explain how to cancel the subscription in their Paypal account? Any idea what would need to be edited for that?

Some 4 years ago I tested dropping Paypal and there was a noticable drop in revenue. Maybe things are different now, but it kind of makes sense - for a small website, trust is a big issue, and people know Paypal. Even if they find it old, clunky and dysfunctional, they at least know the payments...

Yeah, it looks like cancelling a subscription is pretty convoluted. You have to log in to Paypal, go to Settings (which is the small icon next to Log Out, not entirely obvious), then Payments, then Automatic payments, then find the subscription and then cancel. I'll see if I can at least add...

Wow, that seems like a pretty big piece of functionality missing. You can make a subscription, but you cannot cancel it. Also, for someone who makes a subscription, in their Paypal account, the page for the payment tells you to go back to the site you made the payment on in order to cancel the...

Yes, the site operator has turned it on. But, you can also get a captcha challenge if Cloudflare considers you a bot. So you are right that it is hard to be 100% certain what is going on. But I don't think Cloudflare has to be a permanent thing. Once the bots are disrupted, I will most...

Yes, you can set up a subdomain by simply choosing to not proxy the main domain. So far the only problem I have had with Cloudflare is if you have API endpoints that other websites use to connect to your website. Those pretty much stop working at all. I haven't really had any issues with false...

I have set up Paypal payments on the site with the new API, and I am getting a lot of questions from members asking to manually cancel their subscriptions. I have asked for a screenshot, it appears they literally have no cancel button. Is that really the case, there is no cancel button for...

I set max_heap_table_size, as well as the other necessary options, to 2GB. The bots are so aggressive that they were still able to run it full. In the end, the only thing that helped was proxying through Cloudflare.

How is this still not a part of core Xenforo functionality? At this point, not having this feature literally means your forum breaks laws in multiple states, such as California, Virginia, Colorado and others, and in all of European Union, and the UK.

Thanks, but that is not it. There is just some code on Step 8 that is very slow. Half an hour later I am at Upgrading... 2.3.5, Step 8 (yyy/ xxxx) This update completed successfully in 7 hours

I decided to upgrade to 2.3.5 today, and I thought it would take minutes. Well, it is taking its sweet sweet time. Right now it says Upgrading... 2.3.5, Step 8 (yyy/ xxxx) And it is not stuck, but slowly going forward. It took 6 minutes to move to Upgrading... 2.3.5, Step 8 (yyy / xxxx)...

Awesome, thank you!!

I currently accept PayPal subscription payments via the legacy system, and I am trying to set up payments via the new REST system. I created a new payment profile, and I added PayPal as an option for payments. I currently have a 1 month and 6 month subscription option. Whenever selecting the...

Well, I switched over to PayPal from "PayPal Legacy", and new accounts are not upgrading correctly. When paying with PayPal, where it says "Account upgrade:" instead of displaying the correct username, in all payments it displays the same username. None of the accounts are being updated...
