Thanks.

I will email you the plugin and some details tonight..

Thanks for the file.

Installed tonight and had a few problems. I assumed it would be some js conflict so I removed the plugin, deactivated all my other WP plugins except SP and tried again.

Still having the same issue.

After activating Post By Email, Plugin page looks like the attachment

I also get two entries in the error log

file: sfsquad/public_html/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/post-by-email-beta07/sp-email-post-plugin.php

line: 108

function: sp_emailpost_uninstall_option

Warning | include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/problem-with-post-edit-buttonome2/lsfsquad/public_html/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/post-by-email/sp-email-post-install.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php:/usr/share/pear’)

and

line: 108

Am I doing something obviously wrong!??

Thanks

You appear to have this installed in a folder called ‘post-by-email-beta07’. That was the name of the zip file but the folder it unzips to is just ‘post-by-email’.

Thank you! Sorted, I knew it would be something simple! I’ll have a play with the plugin and let you know if I run into any problems.

We will be here. Also please let us know if it works out for you as well.

Seem to have hit a bit of a wall.

As far as I am aware I have IMAP installed and enabled in my PHP

I have my server details:

imap -> mail.lsf-squad.com   port 143

imap (SSL) -> just51.justhost.com    port 993

pop3 -> mail.lsf-squad.com   port 110

pop3 (SSL) -> just51.justhost.com    port 995

Now obiously if I use either of the imap server details I get errors are below:

file: sfsquad/public_html/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/post-by-email/library/sp-email-post-process.php
line: 59
function: Unavailable
Warning | imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn’t open stream {just51.justhost.com:993/pop3/tls/ssl}INBOX

However, if I use the pop3 details, I get no errors and no information recorded in the email log – I assume connection is OK. However I know there are new emails in the specified inboxes but these aren’t appearing either.

Go to the forum admin > Toolbox > Cron panel and check that the email task is set to run. if it is it will appear in the bottom panel in bold along with the next time of execution.

If it is NOT shown then deactivate the PBE plugin (do NOT uninstall it) and the reactivate it and take another look.

Thanks Yellow,

Yes it is listed in Active Cron

I have 3 email addresses set up. Each with new emails in them from an admin and a moderator (with permissions set)

sph_emailpost_cron is running every 5 minutes currently to speed things up.

I have now had 1 successful topic started from one of the moderator emails (but not any of the others!). However this topic has had 8 replies already (about a minute apart) which are all a duplication of the original email.

Two other things I have noticed:

• In the SP user profiles that there isn’t a second email address option like suggested in the Codex.
• The email post which has come through has a blank “Last Post” area in the forum view.

If there is no last post data AND you are getting duplicates AND there are no entries in the post by email log then it sounds to me like the process of importing the emails and creating the post etc., is getting interrupted prior to finishing and prior to deleting the original email and writing out the log entry.

Did you get any related errors in the SP error log?

You should find the secondary email under the profile Account Settings tab. is it really not there?

Thanks for the reply.

I am only getting one error in my SP log which is in regards to the subscription plugin. I hadn’t noticed the error until I started playing with the Post by email plugin. I’ll post a separate topic about it. Needless to say the subscription plugin seems to be working fine.

Come to think about it I don’t know if I have ever had any options in the account settings tab! If I press “update account” I am actually given the error “The alternate post by email address could not be updated”

I had disabled all my other plugins just in case there was a conflict, but this has not helped.

actually, hold that thought, they have come through now I think. Just need to figure out which plugin is causing the conflict…

EDIT:

OK, after much playing with plugins – none of which made a difference. I can say this for certain.

If I deactive the main SP plugin, then reactivate. The email by post plugin will work for the first occasion only. All new emails are brought though to the forums. Any new emails after this are not.

going to need Andy on this one as he wrote that plugin… and being in the UK, he is gone until the morning…

but one question…  so after the first email is done successfully, is the sp mail cron job still active?

Yes the cron is still active

What about of you force the cron task to run manually from the cron admin panel?

And are there any entries now in the email log?
