Which version of Word Press and Postie are you using. Are you using Hostgator? If you follow my instruction on my blog here, the postie should work very smoothly. I can post photos, videos , add tags and categories. Is quite simple. Hi James, So have you resolved the problem. Which version of Word Press and Postie are you using. Are you using Hostgator?

Fixed it. Ok, I hope this works for Lis or anyone else with this problem. I tried the following trial and errors until I got to the root, so maybe don't waste your time with these. I thought maybe the permissions on the wp-filez, wp-photos and uploads was the problem. Firstly, my host won't allow 777 access. But anyway, 766, or 755 works. Secondly, I realised I also had the built in "post by e-mail" activated. Infact, the plain posts which I was able to send were ONLY coming through that. Once I deactivated "post by e-mail", I got no posts, so Postie wasn't even working. In a nutshell, I removed everything related to postie. Deactivated and deleted all plugins, Crons, whatever. Then searched for "postie" in wordpress plugin directory, and loaded Postie 1.3 Alpha. That's all you need. In this version, all the sections are now in tabs along the top e.g. User, Message, Image. Essentially what was screwing me up was I was running off of Cronless Postie Plugin 1.3 I think my rule of thumb now is, if something don't work, uninstall and start over. Hope it works!

Most hosting companies now use phpSuExec servers, thus 755 will allow you to install, run, and execute scripts just like 777 does. Because of this, most scripts do not mind if you use 755 But I'm not sure how this relates to the rich text problem anyway This is the comment from my webhost:

I appreciate you adding your comments to this poorly written text. It’s amazing how many people write incomplete instructions, as if somehow the rest of us are psychic. So, I’m having a fundamental problem. I am using the full username, and feel like I’ve changed every variable possible, and yet I still can’t post correctly. I cannot post using gmail or yahoo at all. That’s a definite. My http://gator868.hostgator.com/~rodders/wp-mail.php always says “POP3 quit: connection does not exist”. That’s ok, cos I can post using a free gmx.com e-mail account, “run postie”, or http://gator868.hostgator.com/~rodders/wp-mail.php shows any mail posted. BUT I need help. It only posts plain text. It won’t post rich text or images. Secondly, when I moved my wp-filez and wp-photos folders to the postie directory I cannot “run postie” (although wp-mail still works), and it says the filez & photos directories are unwritable. Anyways, the first issue is the real kicker. And yes, I have Prefered Text Type (HTML/plain): set to html Any ideas? Thanks James Hi Titus
