Difficulty with email to post ability

    Hi,
    I’m attempting to set things up so that an e-mail I send posts to my new WordPress.com site automatically. I found the Post by Email option here:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

    However, for the life of me I do not see the depicted Dashboard -> My Blogs, and “Post by Email” that I can then enable via Screen Options. I simply don’t see that when I go to work with my bog. I have looked everywhere under “My Site” to include settings. Have the menus been changes since the support article was written? How can I do it?

    Would I need to purchase my own Domain name first somehow? It doesn’t seem like I should have to purchase something to make this simple thing work. Any help much appreciated.

    Hey halotrytry,

    I see what you mean here. .com recently changed their interface but the old one is still there. Near the bottom of the list in the admin section you will see WP Admin. Click that first and then follow the instructions you found and you should be all set.

    In addition there is a dedicated support group for wordpress.com it’s at https://support.wordpress.com/

    Best of luck to you!

    If you don’t see a link you can add /wp-admin to the end of your site url.

    Hi, Thanks for putting me on a good path. How can I add the /wp-admin to accomplish this. I am new to WordPress. Thanks.
