Troubleshooting

The latest version of this plugin can always be downloaded from the official BitPay repository located here: https://github.com/bitpay/wordpress-ecommerce-plugin

• This plugin requires PHP 5.4 or higher to function correctly. Contact your webhosting provider or server administrator if you are unsure which version is installed on your web server.
• Ensure a valid SSL certificate is installed on your server. Also ensure your root CA cert is updated. If your CA cert is not current, you will see curl SSL verification errors.
• Verify that your web server is not blocking POSTs from servers it may not recognize. Double check this on your firewall as well, if one is being used.
• Check the system error log file (usually the web server error log) for any errors during BitPay payment attempts. If you contact BitPay support, they will ask to see the log file to help diagnose the problem.
• Check the version of this plugin against the official plugin repository to ensure you are using the latest version. Your issue might have been addressed in a newer version!

NOTE: When contacting support it will help us if you provide:

• Wordpress Version
• WP eCommerce Version
• PHP Version
• Other plugins you have installed

wordpress-ecommerce-plugin's Issues

Avoid namespace collision of bitpay_callback

Have all functions in bitpay.mechant.php be in their own class/namespace so that bitpay_callback doesn't attempt to be redefined, in the accidental activation of more than one merchant option. It is causing a fatal error that isn't recoverable from the wp-admin, to be able to deactive the plugin.

Plugin needs to be validated against WP ecommerce 3.8.14.3 and Wordpress 4.0

Download link is: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-e-commerce.3.8.14.3.zip

Can't install

Can't install. Get the following error message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/u605517965/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php on line 628

The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

setup script shouldn't need MySQL password or use sudo

This setup script is really not secure - should not assume things like /tmp/wordpress-test is not being used by the user already or the name of the database "wordpress_test", etc.

Wordpress 4.8.1 compatibility

Current version does not work with Wordpress 4.8.1

Improper Callback on WP E-Commerce 3.8.12

Despite payment acceptance at BitPay, callback returns incorrectly resulting in no confirmation of order and no issuing of email notifications of order despite completion of payment.

Automatic install of merchant file

Provide a means to automatically install the bitpay.merchant.php file into the wp-e-commerce/wpsc-merchants directory from within the wp-admin interface -- a button to click to copy the file. This can also be useful to watch the version of the file to provide an automatic upgrade by alerting the user that the file needs to be upgraded.

Include test account

For development purposes, provide a means to be able to switch between test (test.bitpay.com) and live (bitpay.com) accounts.

Install Instructions Missing Files

• Extract the contents of the zip file.
• Copy the wpsc-merchants folder and paste it into your active WP eCommerce instance (ie /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce).

The zip file doesn't extract files to a wpsc-merchants folder. The gits doesn't appear to include it either.

Building BitPay Plugin

I run ./setup username password .... I get this error. When I cp -r wpsc-merchants/ /wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce It causes my website to down down. I have to remove wp-e-commerce for my website to be live again

Can you please help

Building BitPay Plugin Directory...
cp: cannot stat ‘vendor/bitpay/php-client/src/*’: No such file or directory
Setup finished

Notify that BitPay API key isn't yet configured

Provide a notification to to the user to alert them that the BitPay merchant is not yet configured, and doesn't yet have an API key, link to the configuration page to add these settings, and provide a link to the BitPay website to register for an account and retrieve an API key.

Automatic Recurring Payments Integration?

Any chance this could be added to the roadmap? See screenshot below -- not exactly sure what's involved, but willing to help if pointed in the right direction.

Documentation outdated

Installation fails

From bitpay support:

I tried to integrate BitPay into my WordPress site and the instructions on this page are as clear as mud (and incorrect from what I can see): https://bitpay.com/integrations/wordpress Installing WP eCommerce was not a problem, but from there... The only usable file on GitHub was bitpay.zip V2.0.3. After I extracted the contents of the Zip file, there was no "wpsc-merchants" folder in the files extracted. If, in fact, this was a reference to the "bitpay" folder in the extracted contents, you need to make that clear on this "instruction" page. I uploaded the contents of the Zip file to the wp-e-commerce folder on my site. After opening the WP eCommerce page and navigating to the Payments tab, there was no option for "Bitcoin Payments by BitPay" as described in the instructions. So either the instructions are wrong or not clear enough for someone like me to follow to get a working plugin. Also, I can't see anywhere I can put in my Bitcoin address, either to receive payments to or where I can withdraw funds to from my BitBay account. So far, this has been a pretty bad user experience. Not good if you're trying to get non-technical webmasters to accept Bitcoin payments (and I do have some technical knowledge).
