We discovered that the Discourse WP Plugin is causing an installation issue with the API/Webhook connection for a new version of Paypal in the Easy Digital Downloads WP Plugin (EDD).

In other words, when the Discourse WP Plugin is activate: the EDD Paypal API/Webhook won’t connect, but when Discourse is deactivated: the EDD Paypal API/Webhook connects perfectly, although reactivating Discourse disconnects the EDD Paypal API/Webhook again.

All plugins are up to date.

Here is the EDD Plugin info for reference:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
