Viewing Paypal thank you and cancel buttons yield incorrect URL

Paypal thank you and cancel buttons yield incorrect URL



User: John P. 5 years ago
I recently added a pair of PayPal button to my site and discovered that the URLs for the thank you and cancel button point to URLs that general 404 errors on my 3rd party hosted site. I believe this is because the URL's being generated are "hard" URL's rather than relative URL's. When I publish my site, everything is created into a folder named Everweb, and I ftp the contents of that folder to a public HTML directory provided by my host, so that everything appears on the web as being located at www.johnpurlia.com/whatever.html.

However, when I look at the HTML generated for the thank you and cancel buttons, the URL's are at: www.johnpurlia.com/Everweb/thankyou.html and www.johnpurlia.com/Everweb/cancel.html

Hi John!

We were able to reproduce the issue. To correct it, please open the HTML file of the page with the widget, find a fragment that looks like this:
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.johnpurlia.com/Everweb/thankyou.html">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.johnpurlia.com/Everweb/cancel.html">
and correct the links. Unfortunately, you'll have to do this every time you republish the site. That truly happens because the widget generates a hard link.

There is also a workaround to avoid this issue in the future. You may publish directly to FTP through File > Edit Publishing Settings.

If something doesn't work as it is supposed to, you may create a support ticket here: https://billing.ragesw.com/submitticket.php
