[2.x] Can't blog by email

1 Jun 19, 2008 08:24    

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

Here's the thing I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
When ever I try to email the blog account, I get php error saying
Unrecognized or Unknown Category.

Everything else seems to be ok in the cron log. Login/Password is accepted but it always fails on the Category ID.

So what should the email body look like except for
login:password
blog text blog text blog text

Make sure the Default category actually exists. You need to enter the ID (a number) for that category in the settings @ Global settings -> features.

Good luck

The main category is named Welcome and the ID is 1. I was just wondering if you have to put that ID somewhere in the email body
like: login:pwd:1

I tried that but it made no difference. However I'm not sure how to set a category as default. Can't find option like that in the blog admin menus.

There is an option to change the category in the body of the mail, but I can't remember at the moment. I'll investigate but 'm sure somebody else's memory is better at this point and beats me time wise ;)

Good luck
