    Hi Stephen,

    You sent me some plugin code for altering a PayPal account on a per-event basis. (See
    http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/altering-paypal-settings-per-event.

    Unfortunately, the PayPal email address returned by the function has its @ character stripped, so, for example,
    name@company.com becomes namecompany.com.

    I tried a few temporary hacks, such as simply simply setting the $email variable to the exact string for the particular email address and even
    commenting out ‘sanitize_email(), but the @ stripping still occurred.

    Do you know how I could remedy this?

    Thanks,

    Hi Suzanne,

    Try replacing $email in the return add_query_arg(... line by urlencode( $email ).
