Recurring PayPal Donations

Paypal changes something in how they process form submissions about two months ago.  I was working on a similar plugin called Custom Donations.  I was experiencing a problem where Paypal would say that the link was bad.  I was looking to see how this plugin handled that problem and found that it was also broken.

Broken after Paypal Changes

Accept PayPal subscription or recurring donation payment from your WordPress site easily.
