wp-mail.php file

    Does anyone know why an emailed post would get stuck until the wp-mail.php file was touched.

    If I email a post and wait it won’t post into my blog.

    If I open another tab in my browser… point it at https://www.mydomian.org/wp-mail.php and let it load the page it shows all my emailed posts.

    Then I click on the other tab in my browser (that is displaying my blog page) and hit the refresh button the posts show up.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Is there any chance this question could get moved to the advanced section of support by one of the moderators?

    well…that’s how it actually works…

    Further down the page it describes that….
    I read part of your previous thread, but don’t recall if you have the code inserted and functioning or what.

    But wp-mail.php has to be visited to activate the action of actually posting your email.

    Personally, I would run a cron job….. not sure if that’s the best way, but it suits me best…. (I hate iframe stuff….)

    Hi RVoodoo… Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out. I meddled with a cron job about 5 years ago on a different platform but really don’t remember much about it at all.

    If you have some time and can give me direction as to how to set up a cron job for this application that would be great.

    well…that link actually gives you more information than I could…. or maybe someone else here is knowledgeable?

    I’m on godaddy, and cron jobs are as simple as putting in the url to the wp-mail.php file, and setting a time. I don’t have to do any command stuff….

    Ok I remember that article. I did read that before hand and have setup the automatic posting in my footer.php file as suggested. All of that has lead me to this posting. I’m starting to think that the autopost (at least for this theme) will not work.

    So how did you setup the cron job?

    Well, like I said, I’m on godaddy, and I’m sure this is host specific..but on godaddy, I log in and go to my hosting/manage account area

    from there I go to my content menu, then to cron manager

    from the manager, I name the job, and there is simply a browse function…I browse to the wp-mail.php file, then set my time up. Usually I just do hourly for my non-essential crons

    WHOO HOOO! Just figured it out. When using this codex in my footer.php file I had to remove the highlighted section of the code.

    <iframe src=”https://yourblogdomain/

    wordpressinstalldir/

    wp-mail.php” name=”mailiframe” width=”0″ height=”0″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” title=””></iframe>

    So my code now looks like this:

    <iframe src=”https://www.mydomain.org/wp-mail.php&#8221; name=”mailiframe” width=”0″ height=”0″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” title=””></iframe>

    I’ve sent a few posts now and they’re working great. I think someone needs to write an article or post about this little hiccup in this Iframe code.
