    Hi,

    I have installed blog to one of my site. It is working properly. Now I want a script to be able to post FROM a folder. Is it available in wordpress installation?

    Thanks in advance

    Post "from" a folder? Do you mean automatically collect an uploaded file or files and insert these as posts? If that's what you're asking for, no, WordPress does not offer this.

    you can use a cron job. you'll have to ask a mod or someone familiar with wordpress on how to do this, though.

    what is your ultimate goal, though? i'm sure there's an easier way. if you're just trying to write tons of posts as drafts, then have them published publicly on a later date, this can be done through wordpress.

    Yes. I want to collect an uploaded file or files and insert these as posts. If wordpress does not offer this, I wish to know which php files require modifications to implement above feature.

    What format is the file going to be in? I hate to be the person to ask, "well, why can't you just do this," but, why can't you just post-date the posts?

    Are the posts coming from different people? Where are the posts coming from?

    I wish to store files in text format. I already implemented code for uploading files from a local machine to server folder. Now I wish to post these files automatically based on a day/time.
