    Hi, I’m currently using Postie in two websites and I’m having problems with some stuff:

    First, the schedule system does not work, I only got able to make it work by manually making a cron job that triggers the check of the emails in the system, no other way I found it to work, i’m currently using Site Ground for hosting.

    Second, when Postie reads the emails to make posts, it randomly misses every now on them certain posts and I need to manually unread the email and put it on inbox to make postie check the email again to make it go to WordPress, I’m using Gmail.

    Other bug is that sometimes apart from missing some emails for some reason it also randomly make certain featured images on post go blank even through they are attached in the email, and I need to manually reload the email in order to make it go to WordPress with the featured image working.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Postie works fine with the WordPress cron system. It is likely that another plugin or your theme has done something incompatible with WordPress cron. You can verify this by disabling all other plugins and switching your theme to something generic. For more information about Postie and WP cron see https://postieplugin.com/faq/doesnt-postie-automatically-publish-emails-running-manually-works/

    >Postie reads the emails to make posts, it randomly misses every now on them

    There are a couple of environmental issues that could cause this. Installing the Support AddOn could assist in tracking down the issue. See https://postieplugin.com/downloads/support-addon/

    >it also randomly make certain featured images on post go blank

    It isn’t clear to me from your question if the post has a featured image, but it is the wrong one (i.e. blank image) or if there is no featured image.

    Depending on where your emails come from there could be several images that aren’t necessarily visible to you, but Postie sees them and sets it as the featured image.
