WordPress Postie Issue

· 2 min read

Some emails sent are not posted. Seems to put the images in the upload folder on Wordpress but no post created. Postie in debug mode shows no error message and seems to stop here: GetContent: primary= image, secondary = jpeg DecodeBase64Part: base64 detected GetContent: file name 'photo-3.JPG' GetContent: extension 'jpg' GetContent: secondary lookup found image/jpeg GetContent: mimetype image/jpeg image Attachement: photo-3.JPG pre-sanitize name: photo 3.JPG, size: 3551519 post sanitize name: photo-3.JPG using post date postie_handle_upload: detected file type for photo-3.JPG is image/jpeg wp_unique_filename: photo-33.jpg That's it. Just stops. Based on previous images should get something like this after:

attachement id: 806
wp_generate_attachment_metadata
wp_update_attachment_metadata complete
has_post_thumbnail: 
featured image: 806
parseTemplate - before: some HTML here
parseTemplate - after:some HTML here
meta_return:

added the following to wp_config.php but does not produce any log files or error messages


/* Added 6/18/2013 to see if it helps with Postie issue *//* phpinfo shows 64M memory */
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('POSTIE_DEBUG', true);

Checked the php info for server on goDaddy and found that php mem limit is 64MB. Added this to wp_config.php


define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

no help. Looked at JetPack email function but have to connect to wordpress and use their generated email address at wordpress.com Found setting under Images in Postie about Thumbnail generation. Had been set to Yes. Note for this setting says some hosts crash generating thumbnails. Turned this setting off. That fixed it!
