[Plugin: Postie] Works manually but not automatically

I’m using the last release of the plugin + wp 3.1

Scheduled post feature does not work and I see two broken links at the bottom.

I tried this workaround:

install crontrol
remove the check_postie_hook scheduling
add new check_postie_hook scheduling (I tried with twice/hour, every 10 mins, ooce a day)

It does not work. Even if I run manually the related WP-Cron Entries, email are not imported.
Postie works only If I run it manually (pressing the button “To run the check mail script manually”).

Any ideas?

Many thanks

having the same issue here. Would be nice to know why its not scheduling.

I have the same issue, will work manually but not in automode or with crone job.

Same as the rest of you – manual works, but not auto.

Chuppa, I ended up using a crone job pointing to the …/postie/get_mail.php. I also put a link in the footer of my page only available to admins that I can use to run the page manually if needed.

================================================
<?php if (current_user_can(‘administrator’)):?>
Get Posts
<?php endif; ?>

glreber – tried multiple times with a cron job using curl for …/postie/get_mail.php

Still doesn’t work if I manually place that addy in my address bar. Ends up loading the site – is it meant to do that?

Take that back – got my cron job working

env /usr/local/bin/php /home/USENAME/folder/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php

Good that your cron is working. As for the footer it shouldn’t load the get_mail.php but only be a link if the user is logged in as administrator. The if statement should only display a “Get Posts” link if the condition is met. You did put the php code with the link correct?

I noticed above that the <a href turned into a link in the post, didn’t anticipate that.
