    No message contents: I found this is solved by ensuring that you do not mail in html format. You can send html but it is sent in standard text format. You can add
    to the end of paragraphs and also use text link code such as:
    <p>Electronic Music Library: Royalty-free chilled electronic music.</p>

    But I have not found how to add an image link as yet. I recall this could not be done in the past but itw worth checking again to see if this can be achieved now.

    Good luck!

    Hi bakuvia,

    yes, “worked a treat” after a lot of “faff[ing]-around”

    Hope the guys can add this to their next release (no layout change again PLEASE) because for sure, remote and mobile blogging has got to be one of the biggest growth areas (iphones, gphones etc etc)

    Anyway, I hope this thread helps out a bunch of people :O)

    Reflections.

    This is a messy part of WP that should be slick and fixed.
    It took me the best part of four hours to sort whereas it should have been a 5 minute job.
    Its a great feature that can encourage even more bloggin but just hinders many who would blog more if they could get it to work.
    Every time WP needs to upgrade (please don’t change the uder interface again next time!!) you will need to make the changes again (probably) to wp-mail.php to keep this feature working.
    Even after all this, the feature is basic, i.e. no html, no images, just plain text.

    OK, quite simple this one (for me) : just turn html off when sending to the post by email address.

    good luck guys!!

    Im off to look into wp-mail.php again for a line of code that says, “make WP not work = true”

    Next Issue is that mails are coming in blank. Why is WP designed to be so hard to make this work? its bizzare.

    OK, with trial and error I worked out for my situation I need [email protected] in the login name area.

    Once you have put the code in the footer, a refresh of your site should pull the emails down, but keep the code outside any <body><html></body></html> code.

    Refreshing your admin page doesnt seem to pull the mails probably because the code described in one of the above instructions is only in the footer of your skin, not the footer of your admin layout, so you need to refresh your customer facing page.

    Also, I found: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/152039?replies=28 which talks about the issue of mails appearing in the admin post list, but not automatically being posted.

    This is because wp-mail.php is set to put all mails that are pending that are not from the admin account email. You can change this if you want to mail from somewhere else, as is described in this post by changing something in wp-mail.php.

    I am now seeing mails appear automatically.

    I have to say, and from also reading other’s opinions, this is an area of WP that needs sorting out. Its a flipping mess.

    I have found my posts are sitting in the post area with a status of pending. So it is working to that point, but I now need to work out how to automatically make a post publish rather than stay at the pending status.

    At the bottom of the page I gave above is a download of the php (choose the php version rather than the txt version) then upload into your wordpress home directory but rename the original wp-mail.php first so you can revert to it just in case.

    Its not working for me yet.

    In the login settings area, for the login name did you just enter the name or the full email address? i.e. account_name or [email protected] ?

    Im not sure what exactly to enter there.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. looks like a bug fix. It shows the difference in code in the wp_mail.php file from the previous version, so it looks like someone has fixed it. If you look at: https://trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/trunk/wp-mail.php?rev=9504 you can see the full code for that file. I am going to try this to see if it works (whilst saving the original one just in case!!)

    use an xml sitemap to help you publicise your site to search engines (one of many things you can do) and use the DD sitemap to create a readable map for visitors to your site to see your contents at a glance

    Im no SEO expert but Im sure this isnt going to do you any good. Your Example2 domain will be seen by SEs as a redirect and so not ranked. Your other site example1 will be ranked and valued in the normal SE ways. You have to bite the bullet and move if you feel the domain change really makes a difference to your strategy.

    I had to do this recently and it was a hard decision but I chose to move and am glad I did. But its dependent on your business / blog / objectives. I have another site which is a blog only site and have chosen not to move and will have to live with that. From an SEO perspective if you have your keywords in your domain you are better off but that is only one of many attributes that affect your SEO optimising and there are many many sites out there that are doing very well without this specific optimisation.

    Good luck!!

    thank you ??
