Title: PayPal receipts showing as Pending (Incomplete Transaction)
ThreadText: # PayPal receipts showing as Pending (Incomplete Transaction)
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-11)
  
  I have an issue with PayPal receipts. They are appearing as "Pending (Incomplete Transaction)".
  
  I have discovered that there was a fix to the file BaseIPN.php in CiviCRM 4.3, but looking at the modified 4.3 file and my version (4.7), they appear totally different.
  
  The receipt is successfully received in PayPal and the user is taken to the "Thank you" screen, with no errors, however the transaction in Contribution Dashboard is showing as Pending.
  
  Is this a similar problem as was reported in version 4.3? If so, what would I need to change in the 4.7 version of BaseIPN?
  
  Joomla 3.4.8 / CiviCRM 4.7.1 / PHP 5.6 (FastCGI)
