  I am trying to set up an auto return page for PayPal to send buyers back to my website. But, As far as I can tell, when I create a page on my wordpress.com website it is either public (anyone can see it, which is not what this return page is for) or private (no one can see it, wrong again) or password protected (not for the people who will need to see it). Shouldn’t there be an option that allows anyone with the url to view it?

  PayPal wants a URL that has a Thank You message on it to send buyers to after they complete a purchase. How can I create this auto return page to come up ONLY for people who have completed a purchase? I am so confused. Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.

  You still need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG since you are not hosted on WordPress.COM

  Okay, but my website’s url contains “wordpress.com” not “wordpress.org.” Then when I go to wordpress.org to do as you suggest it asks me to register then asks me if I want to make webpage. So, wordpress.org doesn’t know I have a website. How can they help me? Sorry for being such a dunce about this stuff.
