Hurrah. Thanks!

I have it – I think because it came with the premium plugin. It’s what gets submitted to Google for indexing and my files are getting indexed. My site’s ranking is climbing.
I’m completely ignorant of SEO, so although the above seems to be reason to be happy, I could just be a woefully ignorant bunny 🙂
I’m even more ignorant. How do you know if your ranking is climbing or if things are getting indexed?

Business or Premier is needed to get auto-return, Personal will not do it.
I have put details for setting this up in this thread, post 1, blue writing http://www.symbiostock.org/topic/108/draft-tutorial-last-updated-20th-september/
Ok, I did the following (which, by the way, has changed with Paypal’s new layout):
Go to Paypal
Profile
My Selling Preferences
find
Website preferences: Bring customers back to my website after they pay with PayPal.
Click Update
Select Auto Return
Add the URL for your Customer & File Management Page
in the box
scroll to the bottom of the page
SAVEThat’s all I did, and now it appears to work. If someone else would like to test it, that would be great. I did leave the IPN url in the Paypal IPN settings.
eta: Oh, and I found a plugin so that when users login, it sends them to the management area, not to the WP dashboard.
etaa: Is there a way to have a better file name for the download than 640_bloggee.jpg ?
Yep, don’t have it.
Joanne, I got your email from the SYM contact form, but it did not include your return email address at all.
If I knew what or where wordfence was, I’d deactivate it.
Ok, I have a business account, and I set my IPN to this: http://www.seanlockephotography.com/shop/symbiostock_ipn/
Should that make things work?
This is the kind of thing I had no idea I didn’t know.
Do I need to do anything with the API access stuff on Paypal?
Well, I tried another purchase, and when I returned, I got a payment thank you in a green bar, but I still don’t see anywhere to download the image…

I just did a test run. Is your paypal account set up to proper specs? I didn’t get my image, so I’m feeling sort of ripped off right now 🙁
However I didn’t find any way in the process to get to the admin area…so how are you get there?
The only way a customer should be able to create an account is through
1 clicking an image
2 clicking the login/account button
3 in rare occurance, the login page. I noticed that it redirects to WP if wrong, so I’ll see about changing that. But generally the process should be front-end related.My process was to register, get the email, come back to login, and then it sent me to the admin area.
I don’t have pro Paypal ( as you now know 🙂 ) – I don’t see any need to pay $30 a month for that. Otherwise, I don’t know anything about “proper specs”.
I created a whole new account, so I guess I’m a subscriber. I don’t want the buyer to know/think they’re looking at wordpress, if that’s the default wordpress behavior. It’s supposed to be a store, ya know?
Nope, no button.
Why does the user get to see jetpack and dashboard? That is definitely confusing, and I had no idea where to go from there.
Nope, it just brings me back to my shopping cart with the image still there and a pay button.
BTW, is there no way to set categories beside individually doing it?
I can get a list of all my images – but I have almost 3000 – I don’t want to be inputting the image number per file on SS or anything like that plugin requires…
