PayPal Auto Return to Website not working

Hello,

So the auto return to website function appears to not be working on my site. As a little background, the site is run on WordPress and the plugin that is being used is WooCommerce. 

 

I've attached a photo of the settings for both my PayPal account and my WooComerce settings. I've tried multiple different combinations, but nothing seems to work. The only development of changing the Auto Return on has been that it does auto return back to site (previously used to wait and give you the option of "return to merchant" along with the receipt for purchase) but not the specified URL. 

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Cheers

Jonathan

Ended up just running a redirect from the URL to the desired destination.

How/where did you do this. We just noticed this same problem and it seems common enough and no one seems to have a good answer for it. Would be interested in knowing how you beat it.

 

Thanks!

I figured mine out. I was getting an HTTP 414 error, which is the URL being too long. It was a security setting in iThemes that restricts the length of urls strings.
