   Good day.

   I wish to ask a question on how to change the default posting status both on posting through the dashboard and by e-mail. I did try posting by e-mail yesterday and the post did not show up automatically on the website. I found out that the default posting status is "Unpublished" or "Pending Review" (or something similar to that). I checked the file wp-mail.php and I saw that the posting status is set to "published". I also wish to resolve the same kind of problem on how to make "published" as the default posting status for both posting by e-mail and through the main admin area or dashboard.

   Thanks in advance for whatever help you may give me.

   I added an account using the FROM address that I use when I blog my email and it posted right away without any problems. I suspect that this "hold" feature has been added to prevent just anybody from automatically posting to your blog (should they get your secret email address somehow).

   When I created the account, I gave it administrator rights.

   I haven't tested this thoroughly; if you could test it and post back, it may help validate...

   Best regards,
   Tom

   Hi shireyuchan,
   the question you had is of interest for me too.
   Posting by Email with published by default is no problem. But how can I get the published status by default for new articles or pages in the admin area?
   Did you have any ideas meanwhile?
   Thanks
