XF 2.3 Paypal payment does not change membership/VIP membership

Previously, payment via PayPal was ok in XF2.2...
Then I updated to 2.3.4 and it stopped working...
I have the same problem, a member makes a purchase via PayPal, but nothing happens for a member/VIP member.
I have to do it manually.
I'm very ignorant about this.
If anyone has a solution, please let me know.
 
Paypal has already worked fine for me, but I had a STRIPE failure last week. They paid in Australian dollars through stripe, and our forum is in USA. I'm guessing it had something to do with that difference. I manually updated it.
 
The Paypal Legacy system an member upgrades has worked flawlessly for me for years.

Are you getting errors? Are you using the IPN url correctly?
No errors and yes. It does not appear in my payment log.

I switched away from legacy to the new version to no avail. I'm using stripe now (edited to say, I got stripe working, still no clue what is wrong with paypal).

I'm still having the same problem, I'll wait for another XF update.
I'm changing to VIP manually. ;)
This is outrageous tbh.

This is a source of income and life for these forums. I have found at least 10 threads related to some sort of issue with payments ...?

If you you’re not getting a log entry then you don’t have IPN set correctly.

I have been doing this for 7 years now without issue, I have everything set correctly.

But to be honest it's okay, I've bitten the bullet and moved on to Stripe and it's worth the switch. I just didn't want to cancel all my existing subscriptions which were working flawlessly for years until this month with no changes on my end or incorrect settings.
 
Yes. everything worked before.
since 6 month payment is working but the usergroup change wont work.
also nothing to see in the payment logs
i also opened an thread with my current issue.
If there is nothing in the payment log then the IPN is not working. Check to ensure the url is correct and it enabled in PayPal.

It’s not a xenforo issue.

There will be a link for IPN history. It allows to view status of each IPN.

Do you have something blocking PayPal from reaching your site like Cloudflair? Try putting that link in a browser address bar to see what system response you get.
i contacted the host support. They also say that my forum is not blocking any calls / connections.
i will add some screenshots.
maybe I missed something
