Hello, I have tried numerous times to purchase the “Photography” http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/photography/ premium theme with my paypal information. After purchasing, I am “redirected” back to shopping cart page asking if I wish to purchase the theme “again”. I have selected the correct url I wish to you use this theme for but nothing takes effect after purchase. Can someone help?

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

Same problem for me trying to purchase Anthem using PayPal. I was able to purchase Photography theme on the 13th of November without any problem using the same PayPal account. Must be a problem using PayPal or the theme for WordPress.

Im right there with you, I really wanted to get started on it but the first set back I guess. I just hope that I havent been charged yet for something I cant use. :/

Yeah, I sent in an email to support and have yet to hear back. I would suggest to send an email to support if you haven’t already.

I still have the same problem. I’m trying to figure it out. What browser is everyone trying? I tried it on safari and Google Chrome with no luck. I also tried it on my iPhone. I was able get the Photography theme on the 13th of November with no problem, but now I can’t get a different theme. I heard in another post that they suggested trying to clear the cache. I also tried that as well with no success.

@stkildathunda
You have not provided an active link starting with http:// to the blog which you wish to purchased the premium theme for. Will you please do that? Also note that this post has been flagged for Staff attention.

Surely this would be high on list of priorities wouldnt it? Doesnt seem to be though so could be waiting a while it looks like. Pretty disappointing really. Its been 4 days since i first contacted them about it….

Hello everyone. Sorry we didn’t answer this thread sooner! I’ve researched this and I found that there was a system wide outage at PayPal on Nov 17 that lasted about an hour. Could you guys please try making a payment with PayPal again now to see if it works for you?

I’ve also searched for and responded to all of your help tickets. Thank you very much for the reports, and apologies for the trouble!

Still doesnt work. You go through all the steps and click confirm in paypal but then it just takes you back to the WordPress shopping cart. Where it gives you the payment options and says theme will be activated after purchase..
