Hi there,

I've recently been having a similar problem since installing the Paypal IPN module.

The module is not activated now.

 

Somehow the setting in my 'Admin/Configuration/E-Mail Options/E-Mail transport method' had been changed from SMTP to SENDMAIL and so the orders were not showing up in admin and I was not getting any order emails.

 

Since changing this setting back to SMTP, all orders are now showing up.

Of course, your server may be different, but it's worth a try.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to see your pending orders.

 

Since installing the Paypal IPN module, another minor annoyance has been happening.

When someone buys from our site using Paypal, only part of the order is showing up on the Paypal payment pages, only around 127 letters and spaces. So, if the order is for a lot of items only the first few are shown.

This is not great for the customer or us!

 

If anyone out there knows how to repair this, it would be wondeful!

 

I hope this helps.
