Quite simply after many hours of fiddling, I cannot get this to work. Initially I was getting this error:

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

line: 251

function: sp_emailpost_cron_run

Warning | include_once(/problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/fossilfr/public_html/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/plupload/library/sp-plupload-components.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

but I installed the file uploader and that disappeared. However I run the CRON and no mail is sent. I’ve set up the email box OK and added the necessary permissions but still nothing. The instructions say that: “extra information and instructions will be embedded in subscription emails allowing them to send replies and/or start new topics. This also applies to new post notification emails optionally sent to forum admins and moderators.” but neither I nor the user get these. There are no error messages telling me what is wrong. I really need this to work…..

OK, I have worked out that I can post by email. What I can’t work out is how to set users up so that they can participate in discussions started on the web, as they don’t get any email notification to reply to.

sorry, what do you mean by no email is sent? you have to send the email to it… then it posts what you had in the email…

are you saying you dont get emails from admin notifications or subscriptions? sounds like your wp cron might be borked… first, try deactivating (NOT uninstall) the simple press plugin then reactivating… see if that restarts the cron for you..

but again, post by email has nothing to do with sending of emails…

if allowed, users can start new topics by email… or else, they need to subscribe to a topic to get emails that they can reply via email…

Thank you, I’ve slowly worked out what to do, that Post by email is not the complete picture to participating in a discussion by email. Thanks for the prompt reply and I’ll add the subscribe to posts plugin.

However…. the bad news is that there is a small and known bug in the subscriptions plugin that will prevent the PBE information being compiled into emails sent to users. Sorry about that!

A fix has been made to the code but I am unsure of when that will be released. However it is pretty easy to make the change so if you are willing to edit the code we can give you what you need to fix it up.
