After updating to Postie 1.6.12 No Able to attach Images

Please check your “Use custom image field for attachments” setting. It should be set to “No”

Hi Wayne I checked it is no, I also Checked the write permissions on my folder and also the Php. Its like I said its after a update to Postie 1.6.12 and on 2 different web sites.

Please send an email with multiple attached images them click the run postie debug button and send the output to help@postieplugin.com and I’ll take a look.

Thanks for the log file. As you noticed there are a couple of error messages:

could not write to temp file: ''

File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini.

Can you add media to a post in the normal fashion?

There seems to be a few threads about bluehost having this issue. You may want to check with your hosting company to see if they are limiting your uploads.

Hi Wayne yes I can upload the normal way I’m on a windows shared based hosting package the php.ini is a shared file. I did phone my Hosting support today and they check everything permissions and all. Please note: it was after I did the new update from Postie. I then tried on another domain on the same hosting that I also use postie but did not do the update and its working, Then I ran the update and same story not working. I then installed a plugin post by email and also working. I need postie its the best post by email I know. do you think you can send me a link to downgrade the plugin and try that ? Or is there maybe something withe the code I can Check. Stressed

Thank You so much
Jonathan

Here is the previous version: https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/postie.1.6.11.zip

Strange that you are having issues as I specifically test Postie on Windows.

OK, I’ve been able to reproduce the issue, although not with the error messages you are getting. I’ll see if I can get it fixed today.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Still trying to reproduce.

Can you send a message like the one that isn’t posting the images to test@postieplugin.com

Thank you for the link I send you 2 emails to above address

I received the emails and they worked just fine unfortunately.

Looking at the error message you got again it seems that the function get_temp_dir() isn’t returning a writable directory.

Do you have the WP_TEMP_DIR constant set to something in wp-config.php? If so can you verify that it exists and is writable by IIS.

Please do the same for the upload_tmp_dir setting in your PHP ini file.

The last place to check is the ‘/tmp/’ directory it should exist and be writeable.

Also let me know if the old version works, it shouldn’t since nothing about the media handling changed.

Hi Wayne, the older version of postie is also not working. Where should the temp directory be in wordpress ? I cants access the shell its n shared windows hosting I’m so Disappointed in this ?? .

upload_tmp_dir setting in your PHP ini file. ( Cant Access this its shared hosting )

is there anything else you can think off ?

Ask the hosting company what path you can use for temp files then add the WP_TEMP_DIR constant in wp-config.php

Hi Wayne here is all I have:

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
