User Story

As a donor, I want have a link to my PDF receipt included in my donation email so that I have a record of my donation.

They are using text emails instead of HTML. The {receipt_link_url} isn't working. Clicking on it turns absolutely no result for me. For them, they get the error message: "The specified receipt ID appears to be invalid."

They excluded rules in caching plugin, disabled all plugins, installed Native PHP Session, added "define( 'GIVE_USE_PHP_SESSIONS' , false);" to wp-config.php, removed Donation Confirmation and History pages from caching, disabled Lightspeed Caching plugin, excluded the form from caching and still see the error.
