one of my posts showed up publiched even when I had it set to draft

How are you setting the status to draft? Postie doesn’t have an option to do this.

It’s under user of postie, then post status I set the thign to draft When I send an email it normally sends as a draft but not this time. lol!

Take care.

You might want to verify that the Postie setting “User/Post status” is set to the right value.

I already checked that. it is set to draft. Here is a link t the screen shot.Sorry. I forgot the html to images and it’s way early morning here lol!

Ok. it happened again. I think it has to do with the fact I’m sending the emails in html form. not plain text. I know that should not make a difference but that’s the pattern I’m seeing. and I just confirmed it by sending a plain text version and it published as a draft. The html version I posted last night published as published.

Take care.

My emails are being sent in html and does not published — I have set it to draft until I logged on my wordpress to publish the post. I do not think there’s any problem with Postie.

Hm. I sent a draft in plain text, then sent the same post via html, the html published and the plain text didn’t. Odd indeed. I dont’ know what else could be influencing my wordpress emailings. Shoudl I delete the email I have set in the profile part? or leave that alone since postie should overright that?

Take care.

That is interesting. I look into that.

I’m not able to replicate that issue. I sent a plain text email and a html email to my test system with the default status set to “draft”. In every case the post has a draft status.

Can you turn on debug logging as described here and post any interesting bits in the log.

>Should I delete the email I have set in the profile part?

Which email are you talking about? What is the title of the field and what page/tab is it on?

it is in the user tab right after the roles of users that can post. I have that set to draft and that only works when it is set to plain text which is odd. I know this is an odd one but I’m glad I found out before I bulk published a lot of drafts thinking they were going to be drafts. Maybe it’s the way I’m sending the email although apple mail should not make a difference.

Take care.

I think the only way we can figure this out is if I can get access to your install. Please contact me at [email protected] if interested.

Marrie — do you have other plugins? How many? From what I read in other posts, sometime one plugin could create a conflict with another plugin. I suggest you try to deactivate one plugin a time and do email test.

Good idea. I’m an idiot for not thinking that. but I can’t think of any plugin I have that would cause this. and none that could control emailing except for postie. I will when I have the time give the test a whirl though.

No Marrie, do not think you are an idiot. I didn’t know about this possible problem until I read another bulletin board — I have a third party web software; I use plugin that integrated third-party software with WordPress; some people were having problems and the developer of third party software suggested they test with each plugin.

Keep in mind, some plugin may work well with older WordPress and/or other plugins. When WordPress or plugin get upgraded, sometime it create a conflict — direct or indirectly with Postie.

I’m sure you’ll nail the problem somehow. That what we are here for — help each other out.
