Virtuemart does not change status to "confirmed" automatically

[taglierino]

Hi all,

i have problem with virtuemart Paypal standard module.
Joomla version: 2.5.17
Virtuemart version: 2.0.26d

On succesful transaction by Paypal standard module Virtuemart does not update the order status to "confirmed" but stays always on "pending".
I have already set my Paypal profile with the URL notification (IPN) to http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginnotification&tmpl=component and the "thank you page" redirect to http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginresponsereceived.
The redirect works properly and the IPN notications are correctly generated inside the Paypal profile but the status is always on pending. Can you help me?

First your version s are both wildly out of date and unsafe.. hackersville

2nd .. as discussed on here so many times.. there is no setting for the IPN or redirect 
It is all handled completely automatically by the Paypal plugin

Ok, thank you for your reply. I know that some months ago the system worked properly and the status changed correctly automatically. Is there no way to fix this feature with this version?

how can anyone fix something that you don't know what is wrong with it first?
Of course the confirmation worked in 2.0.26d.. you need to find out why not...

The VM version is over 2 years old, thehere have almost certainly been some changes in Paypal function since then, so it could just be the use of old software. We have no obvious way of testing this.
