How to Create Articles From an Email WordPress Plugin





1. Create an email account to use for your blog posts, through either your Web host's mail service or a different email server, but not a free, public service like Yahoo! or Gmail. Any email sent to this email account will be posted to your blog, so keep the user name of this email account a closely guarded secret. You could also use random, difficult-to-guess strings of characters. For example, yoij380odjfh@example.com is more secure than blogposts@example.com.
2. Log in to your WordPress admin panel and click 'Settings,' then 'Writing.' Under the 'Post via e-mail' heading, enter the main server, port, login name and password for the email account. Contact your email provider if you do not know its mail server and port. From the drop-down menu, choose the blog category that you want these emails to be posted to. You could set up a category called 'Latest Posts' and publish them here until you get chance to log in and properly categorize the posts.

3. Click 'Save Changes.'
4. Decide whether you want to manually confirm you want the email to be published, or have WordPress automatically post any email sent to this account. Manual verification gives an additional layer of security. This is accomplished by simply visiting yourblog.com/installdir/wp-mail.php straight after you send an email to this account. Automated activation is done by adding the following line of code to the footer.php file of your blog:

You can edit footer.php by clicking 'Appearance,' 'Editor,' then 'footer.php'. Don't forget to put your own blog location into these links.
5. Test your new system by sending an email to the account you set up in the first step, and then visiting your blog to see if it posted correctly. If you have chosen to activate email posts manually, do so now as described in Step 4. Visit your blog and see if the post is present. The subject of the email should be the title of the post; the content of the email will be the post itself.
