WordPress allows posting via email, but must be told to check for emails. This is achieved by calling wp-mail.php using either a cron job, or by including a hidden iframe in your blog footer.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin adds the iframe to the blog footer without editing the theme - updating your theme won't break your ability to email in posts to WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload email-post-activation.php to your WordPress plugins folder.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin via the WordPress Plugins page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    I don't see anything in my blog. Where is the iframe?<\/dt>\n

    The iframe used to call the wp-mail.php file is hidden. Its width and height have been set to 0. If you want to check that the plugin has loaded correctly:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Right click in your browser window.<\/li>\n
    2. Click View Source from the pop-up menu.<\/li>\n
    3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look for a line that looks something like this:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      <iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.myblog.com\/myblog\/wp-mail.php\" name=\"mailiframe\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"\"><\/p><\/dd>\n

      I activated the plugin, and I still don't see anything. Are you sure this works?<\/dt>\n

      Yes, I'm sure it works :)<\/p>\n\n

      If you're using caching on your site, such as WP Super Cache, then you may have to clear the cache before you can see the code.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How do I set up posting via email?<\/dt>\n
