Gravity Forms PayPal Standard Add-On v2.5 Released

By Carl Hancock Published September 23, 2015

Gravity Forms PayPal Payments Standard Add-On v2.5 is now available via automatic update and the Add-On downloads page.

This is an important maintenance release that will also notify you if your web server does not appear to be prepared for upcoming changes to PayPal’s API. Most web hosts will be prepared for this changeover.

As with all WordPress updates we recommend users update as soon as possible. It is important to always keep WordPress, plugins and themes up to date as a matter of best practice.

PayPal Payments Standard Add-On v2.5

• Added IPN request check to try to detect incompatibility between webserver and new PayPal SSL standards.
• Added filter to allow return url to be changed in cases where proxy prevents it from being created correctly.
• Added $submission_data as the fifth parameter of the gform_paypal_query and gform_paypal_request filters.
• Updated $form parameter on ‘gform_paypal_get_payment_feed’ hook to always pass a form object even if one is not provided to the parent function.
• Updated entry detail page to allow editing of payment details when original status is Processing or Pending.
• Updated minimum Gravity Forms version to 1.9.3.
• Updated max values for the billing cycle and trial period drop downs. D = 90, W = 52, M = 24, Y = 5.
• Updated logging to show when IPN processing is aborted due to the entry being marked as spam.
• Fixed an issue with IPN validation if the PayPal response body did not contain VERIFIED or INVALID.
• Fixed an issue with the upgrade routine which caused it run even if a pre-framework version hadn’t been installed.
