Warning: This plugin is currently in beta! Use at your own risk and please report any bugs, either on the WordPress Support forums or via the Github issues page.

Any new messages sent to the configured email address will be posted to the blog. This plugin replaces the functionality that used to live in WordPress core.

Once an email has been successfully posted to the blog, it can either be marked as read (IMAP servers only) or deleted from the mailbox.

Updates on the project can be found on the Make WordPress Core blog.

Features

Supports IMAP or POP3 servers, with or without SSL
Optional PIN-based authentication guards against email spoofing
Uses WordPress’s built-in roles to manage which users can post
Set categories, tags and custom taxonomies by including shortcodes in your email
Email attachments will automatically be added to the post’s gallery
Emails from unauthorized users can be either set as pending or discarded

Post Authors and Security

The “From” address is matched to WordPress users in the database to determine the post’s author. If the author doesn’t have an account or isn’t allowed to publish posts, the post status will be set to “pending”.

By default, any users in the Author, Editor or Administrator roles are able to publish posts. Use the Users menu item in the admin dashboard to view and manage which users have this capability. For more information on the WordPress permissions system, see Codex: Roles and Capabilities.

Shortcodes

By default, emailed posts will be placed in the default category configured in the settings.

You can also set the categories, tags and custom taxonomy terms on your posts by including shortcodes in your email. These should be space-separated. Use slugs for tags (and non-hierarchical taxonomies) and either slugs or IDs for categories (/ hierarchical taxonomies). Terms that do not yet exist will be created. Examples:

Categories: Use either slugs or IDs.
\n [category posted-by-email another-category]
\n [category 14]

Tags: Use slugs.
\n [tag cool-stuff]

Custom Taxonomies: Use slugs for non-hierarchical taxonomies, and IDs for hierarchical.
\n [custom-taxonomy-name thing1 thing2]
\n [another-custom-taxonomy 2 3 5]

Attachments

Any files attached to an email will be uploaded to the Media Library and added to the post as a gallery. You can specify gallery options, or its location within the post, by including a gallery shortcode in your email. If no gallery shortcode exists, it will be added to the end of the post.

Testing

Automated Tests

Like WordPress Core, this plugin includes automated unit tests written in PHPUnit.

To run the unit tests:

Set up the WordPress testing library as described in Handbook: Automated Testing. You can also do this using WP-CLI.
From the plugin directory, run WP_TESTS_DIR=/path/to/WordPress/test/install phpunit

Manual Testing

Set up a test email address (services such as Gmail work great for this) and enable IMAP or POP3 access. (Refer to Installation for detailed instructions.)
Verify that you are using the correct mailbox settings by using a third-party email client, such as Outlook or OSX Mail.app, to connect to your test mailbox.
Enter those settings into the Post By Email settings and save them.
Navigate to the “Activity Log” tab and press the “Check Now” button. When the page reloads, you should see a new entry in the log file describing the results of the mail check.

Caveat: There is sometimes a delay between sending an email and having it show up in the mailbox, especially with POP3. If you’re using IMAP, you can connect using a third-party mail client to verify that messages have been received, then mark them as unread so Post By Email will pick them up.

Reporting Bugs

Before reporting a bug, make sure you’ve updated the plugin to the latest version.

Then, provide as much of the following information as possible:

WordPress version (e.g. 3.6.x).
Plugin version (e.g. 1.0.4).
PHP version (e.g. 5.2.x or 5.3.x).
Your mailbox settings (URL, protocol, port and whether SSL is enabled; not your login and password).
Any error messages displayed (it might help to enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php).
If the issue is related to a specific email, the full email, including headers. Feel free to replace any personal information with dummy text (such as “sender@example.com”). This link has instructions for viewing full message headers in Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo.

\n","installation":"

See Installing Plugins.
Set up an email address that will be used specifically to receive messages for your blog.
Make sure your email service is configured to allow external connections via POP3 or IMAP.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu.
Configure mailbox information under Tools->Post By Email.

Instructions for specific email services

\n
Gmail: This page will walk you through enabling IMAP or POP3 access. When prompted to select an email client for configuration instructions, select “Other” to view the settings.
\n
\n
Yahoo! Mail: Use these IMAP settings; IMAP access should be enabled by default. Mail Plus subscribers can also use these POP3 settings.
\n
\n
Outlook.com (Hotmail) settings and instructions can be found on this page.
\n

\n","faq":"\n

What timestamp will be used for posts?

Posts will be backdated to use the date and time they were received by the mailserver, NOT the time they were imported by the plugin.

Will messages show up on my blog as soon as I send them?

No, emails are not “forwarded” to your blog. Just like any third-party mail client, Post By Email has to check for new messages, and will only do this once per hour (or when you click the “Check Now” button in the settings). In addition, because of how WordPress’ task scheduling (wp_cron) works, this check will only be triggered when a page on your blog has been loaded. There is also sometimes a delay between when messages are sent and when they show up in the mailbox, especially with POP3 access.

I found a bug!

Oh no! I would like to know as much as possible about it so that I can fix it. For the information to include with a bug report, please see the Reporting Bugs section in Other Notes.

What does the error “Bad tagged response” mean?

This probably means you’re trying to connect to a POP3 server over the IMAP port, or vice versa. Double-check your server URL, protocol and port number and try again.

SoloMail is a WordPress plugin designed to email an HTML-formatted copy of a single post to site subscribers or a mailing list. There are quite a few solutions out there designed to send batch digests of recent posts to subscribers on a scheduled basis. SoloMail solves a different problem – you may want to cherry pick just certain posts to go out via email, and you may want the ability to “send now.”

The subscriber list can EITHER be the group of all registered users on a site OR a single address, such as a mailing list. Though you can use SoloMail either way, I recommend sending through a proper mailing list, which provides advantages such as handling and unsubscribing bounced/dead addresses, and metered sending for large lists.

Please send bug reports / requests via
\nhttp://hosting.birdhouse.org/contact/

\n","installation":"

\n
Upload to wp-content/plugins and activate.
\n
\n
Move the two provided templates and one provided stylesheet into your current theme directory: solomail.html solomail.txt solomail-styles.css
\n
\n
Visit the Settings | SoloMail section in your Dashboard. During testing, set it to send to a single address (your own). After testing, change that address to that of a mailing list to which your site administrator’s address has permission to post (SoloMail emails will be sent FROM the site administrator’s email address). Or select Registered Users for the Subscription Group Type.
\n
\n
Edit the provided templates and stylesheet as needed. Don’t forget the .txt version – you can test it by selecting the “text only” view in your mail client (if you use Apple Mail, use Cmd-[ and Cmd-] to cycle through the available multipart formats). SquirrelMail is another good way to test the text version. The following set of template variables are available to both versions:
\n
{{stylesheet_url}} {{site_url}} {{site_title}} {{post_title}} {{post_author}} {{post_date}} {{post_body}} {{post_permalink}} {{newsletter_title}}
\n

Yes, these are Django-style template variables 🙂

SoloMail sends multi-part email, with HTML format primary and text as a fallback. The templates are stored in your theme directory rather than in the plugin directory so that A) Your customizations won’t be overridden by a plugin update and B) you can edit them the same way you edit theme files.

Feel free to use the provided templates as-is or create your own. Note that SoloMail intentionally does not attempt to use the standard WP template system. That’s because HTML email has unique needs, and shouldn’t have all the header crap and extras that appear on your site. If you’ve never sent HTML email before, see a tutorial such as http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/code-html-email-newsletters

Note that if you modify a post and send it via SoloMail in the same step, the modifications will not be in the email. I’m not sure why this is, but you must save your changes first, then send it.

\n","faq":"

How do I use SoloMail?

Select a post that’s already been edited and saved, and that you consider finished. At the top right of the sidebar, you’ll see a SoloMail checkbox. Select the checkbox and click the usual Update button on the post page. The email will be sent immediately to the group chosen in SoloMail options.

The checkbox will not remain checked – it’s safe to edit the post again without risk of sending out mail again accidentally.

Only site administrators can send email with SoloMail. On multi-author sites, administrators can send other authors’ posts out, as well as their own.

\n","changelog":"

1.3

Added option to send either full posts or excerpts.

1.2

Fixed bug that caused emails to be sent twice. This was because the WordPress post_save action actually runs twice, so needed to wrap our function in a test for presence of a global var.

1.1

Initial release.
