I second this. Disabling specific cookies like Google Analytics should delete the cookie as well, it should not be up to the user to do it as they will assume it’s already been taken care of.

Yes, a fix would be super nice … have a few websites that don’t work properly and need this fix. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. I don’t have the plugin anymore as I had to find another solution but if I remember correctly expiry worked fine when posting via the admin interface but did not work when using front-end plug-ins.

I figured it out. I realized I had to add it to the .htaccess with the other WordPress rewrite rules instead of the Apache config file or alternatively move all the WordPress rewrite rules to the Apache config and then add this rule there as well.

Thanks for the answer!

Any idea how I can do this using a rewrite rule? I’d prefer using that so that I can take advantage of the URL masking.

Actually this is now happening for all post types, pages, etc. and the only thing I can think of that changed is upgrading to 3.8.1 but I seem to remember it still working for regular post types after that but can’t say for sure.

Also, I unfortunately have not been able to produce any errors or anything even with debugging enabled. If there’s anything specific I can try that might help provide a clue I’d be happy to help.

WordPress is messing up my quotation marks in the examples. The examples above were using “straight” or “dumb” quotes though I have tried with “smart” quotes as well but with the same result.

Hi Wayne,

I do have “Start Image Count At 0” set to “yes” however I’m not having an issue with that. Images show as they should and captions basically work with the exceptions of:

Certain characters will make the caption show partly as the caption and then the rest in the message/post body. For example using the following as the caption
! @ % ^ & * ( ) ~ "Test” ’Test’Test
Will show an image caption of
”Test” &
and then this in the message body
8221;Test” ’Test’Test”#

Another example is a caption of
! @ % ^ & * ( ) ~ "Test"
Will show an image caption of
! @ % ^ &
and then this in the message body
038; * ( ) ~ ”Test”’#

I updated to version 1.4.11 and still experience this.

And then lastly if I don’t enter a caption at all into the form I still get the following:
#img0 caption=””#

Ok, good to know. …This is for a friend so I’ll have to talk with him and see if he’s willing to pay for it or find some other solution. Thank you!

Ok, just made a test post and had the message go to you.

Hi Wayne,

Will send an email in a minute but just wanted to answer your previous question.

Are you adding a caption to the image after Postie processes the email?

No, I’m sending the caption in the email along with all the other form data.

Here’s a sample of the message short code followed by the raw email body with the exception of the image:

:start
#img0 caption='[image-caption]'#
<b>From:</b> [your-name]<br />
<b>Country:</b> [country]<br />

[your-message]

Tags: [area]
:end

<p>:start<br />
#img0 caption='This is an image caption with an ’ (apostrophe) in it.'#<br />
<b>From:</b> maniac9978<br />
<b>Country:</b> USA</p>
<p>This is the message/post body.</p>
<p>Tags: Tag Here<br />
:end</p>

Excellent, thanks! Sorry I didn’t get around to the screen shots…been busy. Do you still need/want them though?

I didn’t modify it in any way and it does that for me. It was just recently updated so maybe it’s a new feature.

It’s not a bad plugin but your plugin and CF7 has much more functionality and options.

Yes, you can set it to allow from any email … which I actually don’t use.

What I’ve done is use the plugin “Contact Form 7” which will email the contents of the “contact” form to a local account which I then use as the account for posting by email. IE: I don’t accept posting from outside/random email addresses only this one specified in the post. This means all posts show as posted by “admin” as there are no other registered users.

The form has a required field for the person to put their “name” so I was wondering if that name could show as the poster instead of “admin”.

I’ve been experimenting with another plugin called “User Submited Posts” which allows posting without an account and will swap out user admin in the string “Posted by Admin on November ….” with the name entered in the name field. If you click the name you will be taken to admin’s profile but at least it shows at first glance the proper author.

I hope that makes sense. I much prefer using “Contact Form 7” and your plugin as a way for unregistered people to submit content but this one thing is sort of a game changer for my client.

Oh, also, if there is no image caption then it will add something like this in the message body:
#img0 caption=”"#
How can I fix that or is it something that needs to be fixed in the code?
