29
- No. Do not add an iframe in your footer to get postie to check mail
30
- periodically. To check e-mail periodically, either set-up a cron job, or use
31
- cronless postie. See installation instructions
32

33

73
-
74
- If your admin account is linked to bar@gmail.com, and you send mail from
75
- bar@gmail.com, it will show up as being posted by admin. If you have a
76
- wordpress user named "John Doe", which is linked to johndoe@gmail.com, make
77
- sure that you send e-mails from johndoe@gmail.com. It doesn't matter which
78
- e-mail address postie is checking. That is, if you send mail from
79
- johndoe@gmail.com to foo@gmail.com, it gets posted as "John Doe".
80
-
81
- If you send an e-mail to your postie address from an e-mail address that is no
82
- t linked to a wordpress user, it will get posted as admin.
83
-
84
- = Images aren't showing up at all? =
85
-
86
- There are a couple possible reasons for this. First, check to see if you can
87
- add an image through wordpress's normal posting mechanism. If not, then there
88
- is probably 1 or 2 problems:
89
- 1. Your server does not have the php-gd library installed. Ask your hosting
90
- provider about this.
91
-
92
- 2. Your wp-content/uploads directory is not writable by the webserver. Make
93
- sure that it is
94
-
95
- = Can I delete the wp-files directory needed by postie version <1.3.0? =
96
-
97
- If you have posts published already by older versions of postie, getting rid
98
- of those directories will delete any files you might have had associated with
99
- those old posts. If you don't have any such posts, then you can safely delete
100
- them.
101
-
102
- = How can I get rid of stupid stuff my e-mail provider adds to my messages? =
103
-
104
- To strip off stuff that they add at the beginning of a message, start your
105
- post with :start
106
-
107
- To strip off stuff that they add at the end of a message, end your
108
- post with :end
109
-
110
- = How can I add custom attachment icons? =
111
-
112
- Simply upload the icons you want to the postie/icons/custom directory. You
113
- must name the icons according to the following scheme:
114
- `{filetype}-{size}.png`
115
-
116
- NOTE THAT ANY CUSTOM FILES ADDED TO THE POSTIE DIRECTORY WILL BE DELETED IF YOU
117
- USE THE NORMAL WORDPRESS UPGRADE PROCESS.
118
-
119
- For example, for word documents, you could use:
120
-
121
- `doc-32.png`
122
-
123
- for a 32x32 pixel icon. (You can actually create any size icon you want, but
124
- if you name it 32, then it will only be used if you select to use size 32
125
- icons)
126
-
127
- See the other directories in icons for more examples.
128
-
129
- Currently the following filetypes are supported:
130
-
131
- * doc - microsoft word (including docx)
132
- * ppt - microsoft powerpoint (including pptx)
133
- * xls - microsoft excel (including xlsx)
134
- * numbers - iWork numbres spreadsheet
135
- * pages - iWork pages document
136
- * key - iWork keynote presentation
137
- * pdf - portable document format
138
- * rtf - rich text format
139
- * txt - plain text document
140

141
- = Can I add special text to the body of the post when using postie? =
142
-
143
- Yes. You can create your own function, and use the postie_post filter.
144
- Two short examples are included in the filterPostie.php.sample file
145
-
146
- = Can I add special text to the title of the post when using postie? =

148

152
-
153
- Yes. You can create your own function, and use the postie_post filter.
154
- See the filterPostie.php.sample file for examples.
155
-
156
- = Is the IMAP extension required for postie? =
157
-
158
- The IMAP extension is not required, but it is strongly recommended, especially
159
- is you are using non-English text. There is more information on php.net about
160
- installing the IMAP extension. If you have control over your server, it is
161
- often not hard to install.
162
-
163
- On Ubuntu, try
164
- `sudo apt-get install php5-imap`
165
-
166
- On Fedora, try
167
- `sudo yuminstall php-imap`
168
-
169
- The IMAP extension is known to be installed on the following popular webhosts:
170
- * Dreamhost
171
-
172
- = How can I embed youtube or vimeo videos? =
173
-
174
- Simply put the url in the body of your e-mail. (Make sure that you have the
175
- option to convert url into links turned on)
176
-
177
- = Something is going wrong, how do I see what is happening? =
178
-
179
- Add the following lines to your wp-config.php file
180
- `define('WP_DEBUG', true);
181
- define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
182
- define('POSTIE_DEBUG', true);`
183
-
184
- Various errors, warning and informational will be written to the wp-content\debug.log
185
- file. There may also be all sorts of warnings and messages in your site as well
186
- depending on how well behaved your other plugins and themes are, so you will not
187
- want to leave these settings set to true all the time.
188
-
189
- = Why doesn't Postie automatically publish my emails when running manually works =
190
-
191
- WordPress cron (which Postie relies on) doesn't run unless a page is accessed on the
192
- site. So if you send an email, but nobody accesses the site for 3 days Postie won't
193
- be given the chance to fetch the email and publish the post.
194
-
195
- To ensure that Postie runs smoothly on a low or no volume site you need to ensure that
196
- a page gets hit (any page is fine). Use something like cron + curl on Linux or install
197
- curl on Windows and use the Scheduled Tasks control panel. If you are using a hosting company
198
- that doesn't allow you access to cron you can use a service like
199
- <a href="https://www.setcronjob.com/" target="_blank">SetCronJob</a>.
200
-
201
- It is also possible to turn the WordPress cron off. Please make sure something like
202
- `define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);` is not in your wp-config.php file.

- <h3>Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
22
- <h4 id='answer-0'>Postie won't connect to my mailserver. Why Not?</h4>
23
-
24
- <p>Make sure the port you are using is open. For example, bluehost seems to block
25
- ports 993 and 995 (for pop3-ssl and imap-ssl) by default. I have heard that
26
- you can request that they open them for you ( you might have to pay extra).</p>
27
-
28
- <p>You can check for open ports with the following command on your server:</p>
29
-
30
- <pre><code>netstat -ln|grep -E &#039;:::(993|995|143)&#039;</code></pre>
31
-
32
- <p>If nothing shows up, then the ports are not open.</p>
33
-
34
- <h4 id='answer-1'>How can I get postie to display inline images?</h4>
35
-
36
- <p>Make sure that you send e-mail formatted as html (richtext), and set postie to
37
- prefer html messages (in the message tab of the postie settings)</p>
38
-
39
- <h4 id='answer-2'>Mail is not showing up right when I send html (rich formatted) e-mail!</h4>
40
-
41
- <p>Make sure you set the preferred text type to html</p>
42
-
43
- <h4 id='answer-3'>Do I need to any code to my theme for postie to work?</h4>
44
-
45
- <p>No.</p>
46
-
47
- <h4 id='answer-4'>I read somewhere to add an iframe to my footer. Should I do this?</h4>
48
-
49
- <p>No. Do not add an iframe in your footer to get postie to check mail
50
- periodically. To check e-mail periodically, either set-up a cron job, or use
51
- cronless postie. See installation instructions</p>
52
-
53
- <h4 id='answer-5'>My mail host requires SSL, but postie will not allow me to select pop3-ssl or imap-ssl</h4>
54
-
55
- <p>You must have php-imap installed on your server for this to work. Ask your
56
- hosting provider about this.</p>
57
-
58
- <h4 id='answer-6'>Can I use postie to check a gmail account?</h4>
59
-
60
- <p>Yes. You can use either pop3-ssl or imap-ssl with a gmail account (including Google Apps). Before
61
- attempting to use with postie, make sure that you enable pop or imap in your
62
- gmail preferences.</p>
63
-
64
- <ul>
65
- <li>Pop3 settings:
66

- <h4 id='answer-7'>Can I use postie with GoDaddy hosting?</h4>
88
-
89
- <p>Yes, but you must use an email set up using the GoDaddy email service and the following settings:</p>
90
-
91
- <ul>
92
- <li>protocol - pop3</li>
93
- <li>Use Transport Layer Security - no</li>
94
- <li>server - pop.secureserver.net</li>

- <li>port - 110</li>

- <li>userid - xxxxx@yourdomain</li>
97
- <li>password - your password </li>
98
- </ul>
99
-
100
- <p>GoDaddy hosting does not allow you to connect to non-GoDaddy mail servers like Gmail.</p>
101
-
102
- <h4 id='answer-8'>My posts show up as being posted by 'admin' instead of me. Why?</h4>
103
-
104
- <p>If your admin account is linked to <a href="mailto:bar@gmail.com">bar@gmail.com</a>, and you send mail from
105
- <a href="mailto:bar@gmail.com">bar@gmail.com</a>, it will show up as being posted by admin. If you have a
106
- wordpress user named "John Doe", which is linked to <a href="mailto:johndoe@gmail.com">johndoe@gmail.com</a>, make
107
- sure that you send e-mails from <a href="mailto:johndoe@gmail.com">johndoe@gmail.com</a>. It doesn't matter which
108
- e-mail address postie is checking. That is, if you send mail from
109
- <a href="mailto:johndoe@gmail.com">johndoe@gmail.com</a> to <a href="mailto:foo@gmail.com">foo@gmail.com</a>, it gets posted as "John Doe".</p>
110
-
111
- <p>If you send an e-mail to your postie address from an e-mail address that is no
112
- t linked to a wordpress user, it will get posted as admin.</p>
113
-
114
- <h4 id='answer-9'>Images aren't showing up at all?</h4>
115
-
116
- <p>There are a couple possible reasons for this. First, check to see if you can
117
- add an image through wordpress's normal posting mechanism. If not, then there
118
- is probably 1 or 2 problems:
119
- 1. Your server does not have the php-gd library installed. Ask your hosting
120
- provider about this.</p>
121
-
122
- <ol>
123
- <li>Your wp-content/uploads directory is not writable by the webserver. Make
124
- sure that it is</li>
125
- </ol>
126
-
127
- <h4 id='answer-10'>Can I delete the wp-files directory needed by postie version &lt;1.3.0?</h4>
128
-
129
- <p>If you have posts published already by older versions of postie, getting rid
130
- of those directories will delete any files you might have had associated with
131
- those old posts. If you don't have any such posts, then you can safely delete
132
- them.</p>
133
-
134
- <h4 id='answer-11'>How can I get rid of stupid stuff my e-mail provider adds to my messages?</h4>
135
-
136
- <p>To strip off stuff that they add at the beginning of a message, start your
137
- post with :start</p>
138
-
139
- <p>To strip off stuff that they add at the end of a message, end your
140
- post with :end</p>
141
-
142
- <h4 id='answer-12'>How can I add custom attachment icons?</h4>
143
-
144
- <p>Simply upload the icons you want to the postie/icons/custom directory. You
145
- must name the icons according to the following scheme:</p>
146
-
147
- <pre><code>{filetype}-{size}.png</code></pre>
148
-
149
- <p>NOTE THAT ANY CUSTOM FILES ADDED TO THE POSTIE DIRECTORY WILL BE DELETED IF YOU
150
- USE THE NORMAL WORDPRESS UPGRADE PROCESS.</p>
151
-
152
- <p>For example, for word documents, you could use:</p>
153
-
154
- <pre><code>doc-32.png</code></pre>
155
-
156
- <p>for a 32x32 pixel icon. (You can actually create any size icon you want, but
157
- if you name it 32, then it will only be used if you select to use size 32
158
- icons)</p>
159
-
160
- <p>See the other directories in icons for more examples.</p>
161
-
162
- <p>Currently the following filetypes are supported:</p>
163
-
164
- <ul>
165
- <li>doc - microsoft word (including docx)</li>
166
- <li>ppt - microsoft powerpoint (including pptx)</li>
167
- <li>xls - microsoft excel (including xlsx)</li>
168
- <li>numbers - iWork numbres spreadsheet</li>
169
- <li>pages - iWork pages document</li>
170
- <li>key - iWork keynote presentation</li>
171
- <li>pdf - portable document format</li>
172
- <li>rtf - rich text format</li>
173
- <li>txt - plain text document</li>
174
- </ul>
175
-
176
- <h4 id='answer-13'>Can I add special text to the body of the post when using postie?</h4>
177
-
178
- <p>Yes. You can create your own function, and use the postie_post filter.
179
- Two short examples are included in the filterPostie.php.sample file</p>
180
-
181
- <h4 id='answer-14'>Can I add special text to the title of the post when using postie?</h4>
182
-
183
- <p>Yes. You can create your own function, and use the postie_post filter.
184
- Two short examples are included in the filterPostie.php.sample file</p>
185
-
186
- <h4 id='answer-15'>Can I select tags or categories based on the content of the e-mail?</h4>
187
-
188
- <p>Yes. You can create your own function, and use the postie_post filter.
189
- See the filterPostie.php.sample file for examples.</p>
190
-
191
- <h4 id='answer-16'>Is the IMAP extension required for postie?</h4>
192
-
193
- <p>The IMAP extension is not required, but it is strongly recommended, especially
194
- is you are using non-English text. There is more information on php.net about
195
- installing the IMAP extension. If you have control over your server, it is
196
- often not hard to install.</p>
197
-
198
- <p>On Ubuntu, try</p>
199
-
200
- <pre><code>sudo apt-get install php5-imap</code></pre>
201
-
202
- <p>On Fedora, try</p>
203
-
204
- <pre><code>sudo yuminstall php-imap</code></pre>
205
-
206
- <p>The IMAP extension is known to be installed on the following popular webhosts:
207
- * Dreamhost</p>
208
-
209
- <h4 id='answer-17'>How can I embed youtube or vimeo videos?</h4>
210
-
211
- <p>Simply put the url in the body of your e-mail. (Make sure that you have the
212
- option to convert url into links turned on)</p>
213
-
214
- <h4 id='answer-18'>Something is going wrong, how do I see what is happening?</h4>
215
-
216
- <p>Add the following lines to your wp-config.php file</p>
217
-
218
- <pre><code>define(&#039;WP_DEBUG&#039;, true);
219
- define(&#039;WP_DEBUG_LOG&#039;, true);
220
- define(&#039;POSTIE_DEBUG&#039;, true);</code></pre>
221
-
222
- <p>Various errors, warning and informational will be written to the wp-content\debug.log
223
- file. There may also be all sorts of warnings and messages in your site as well
224
- depending on how well behaved your other plugins and themes are, so you will not
225
- want to leave these settings set to true all the time.</p>
226
-
227
- <h4 id='answer-19'>Why doesn't Postie automatically publish my emails when running manually works</h4>
228
-
229
- <p>WordPress cron (which Postie relies on) doesn't run unless a page is accessed on the
230
- site. So if you send an email, but nobody accesses the site for 3 days Postie won't
231
- be given the chance to fetch the email and publish the post.</p>
232
-
233
- <p>To ensure that Postie runs smoothly on a low or no volume site you need to ensure that
234
- a page gets hit (any page is fine). Use something like cron + curl on Linux or install
235
- curl on Windows and use the Scheduled Tasks control panel. If you are using a hosting company
236
- that doesn't allow you access to cron you can use a service like
237
- <a href="https://www.setcronjob.com/">SetCronJob</a>.</p>
238
-
239
- <p>It is also possible to turn the WordPress cron off. Please make sure something like</p>
240
-
241
- <pre><code>define(&#039;DISABLE_WP_CRON&#039;, true);</code></pre>
242
-
243
- <p>is not in your wp-config.php file.</p>

254
- = Postie won't connect to my mailserver. Why Not? =
255
-
256
- Make sure the port you are using is open. For example, bluehost seems to block
257
- ports 993 and 995 (for pop3-ssl and imap-ssl) by default. I have heard that
258
- you can request that they open them for you ( you might have to pay extra).
259
-
260
- You can check for open ports with the following command on your server:
261
- `netstat -ln|grep -E ':::(993|995|143)'`
262
-
263
- If nothing shows up, then the ports are not open.

265
- = How can I get postie to display inline images? =
266
-
267
- Make sure that you send e-mail formatted as html (richtext), and set postie to
268
- prefer html messages (in the message tab of the postie settings)
269
-

275
-
276
- No.
277
-
278
- = I read somewhere to add an iframe to my footer. Should I do this? =
279
-
280
- No. Do not add an iframe in your footer to get postie to check mail
281
- periodically. To check e-mail periodically, either set-up a cron job, or use
282
- cronless postie. See installation instructions
283
-
284
- = My mail host requires SSL, but postie will not allow me to select pop3-ssl or imap-ssl =
285
-
286
- You must have php-imap installed on your server for this to work. Ask your
287
- hosting provider about this.
288
-
289
- = Can I use postie to check a gmail account? =
290
-
291
- Yes. You can use either pop3-ssl or imap-ssl with a gmail account (including Google Apps). Before
292
- attempting to use with postie, make sure that you enable pop or imap in your
293
- gmail preferences.

- = My posts show up as being posted by 'admin' instead of me. Why? =
324
-
325
- If your admin account is linked to bar@gmail.com, and you send mail from
326
- bar@gmail.com, it will show up as being posted by admin. If you have a
327
- wordpress user named "John Doe", which is linked to johndoe@gmail.com, make
328
- sure that you send e-mails from johndoe@gmail.com. It doesn't matter which
329
- e-mail address postie is checking. That is, if you send mail from
330
- johndoe@gmail.com to foo@gmail.com, it gets posted as "John Doe".
331
-
332
- If you send an e-mail to your postie address from an e-mail address that is no
333
- t linked to a wordpress user, it will get posted as admin.
334
-
335
- = Images aren't showing up at all? =
336
-
337
- There are a couple possible reasons for this. First, check to see if you can
338
- add an image through wordpress's normal posting mechanism. If not, then there
339
- is probably 1 or 2 problems:
340
- 1. Your server does not have the php-gd library installed. Ask your hosting
341
- provider about this.
342
-
343
- 2. Your wp-content/uploads directory is not writable by the webserver. Make
344
- sure that it is
345
-
346
- = Can I delete the wp-files directory needed by postie version <1.3.0? =
347
-
348
- If you have posts published already by older versions of postie, getting rid
349
- of those directories will delete any files you might have had associated with
350
- those old posts. If you don't have any such posts, then you can safely delete
351
- them.
352
-
353
- = How can I get rid of stupid stuff my e-mail provider adds to my messages? =
354
-
355
- To strip off stuff that they add at the beginning of a message, start your
356
- post with :start
357
-
358
- To strip off stuff that they add at the end of a message, end your
359
- post with :end
360
-
361
- = How can I add custom attachment icons? =
362
-
363
- Simply upload the icons you want to the postie/icons/custom directory. You
364
- must name the icons according to the following scheme:
365
- `{filetype}-{size}.png`
366
-
367
- NOTE THAT ANY CUSTOM FILES ADDED TO THE POSTIE DIRECTORY WILL BE DELETED IF YOU
368
- USE THE NORMAL WORDPRESS UPGRADE PROCESS.
369
-
370
- For example, for word documents, you could use:
371
-
372
- `doc-32.png`
373
-
374
- for a 32x32 pixel icon. (You can actually create any size icon you want, but
375
- if you name it 32, then it will only be used if you select to use size 32
376
- icons)
377
-
378
- See the other directories in icons for more examples.
379

380

-
409
- The IMAP extension is not required, but it is strongly recommended, especially
410
- is you are using non-English text. There is more information on php.net about
411
- installing the IMAP extension. If you have control over your server, it is
412
- often not hard to install.
413
-
414
- On Ubuntu, try
415
- `sudo apt-get install php5-imap`
416
-
417
- On Fedora, try
418
- `sudo yuminstall php-imap`

427

428
- = Something is going wrong, how do I see what is happening? =

431
- `define('WP_DEBUG', true);
432
- define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
433
- define('POSTIE_DEBUG', true);`
434
-
435
- Various errors, warning and informational will be written to the wp-content\debug.log
436
- file. There may also be all sorts of warnings and messages in your site as well
437
- depending on how well behaved your other plugins and themes are, so you will not
438
- want to leave these settings set to true all the time.
439
-
440
- = Why doesn't Postie automatically publish my emails when running manually works =
441
-
442
- WordPress cron (which Postie relies on) doesn't run unless a page is accessed on the
443
- site. So if you send an email, but nobody accesses the site for 3 days Postie won't
444
- be given the chance to fetch the email and publish the post.
