    Ahhhh… I’m getting really annoyed because I CAN NOT figure out where my installdir folder is. I have no idea if I am supposed to create it or get it somewhere, or if it was supposed to be here already when I installed wordpress! Does anybody know anything about this, because it seems like a lot of people do this whole blog by mail deal… and I need to have the wp-mail.php file under installdir to use it. Does anybody know ANYTHING about this at all? I’m so confused!

    Thanks!

    Zeb

    Look in:
    admin -> Options -> Writing

    Do you mean wp-admin? If so, I looked in there, and there is no folder called “options,” though there is a .php file called “options-writing.php.” I don’t see how I would use that though…

    You’ve confused the heck out of me.

    Is there a way that you could describe in a sentence or two what it is you wish to do?

    OK. I’m trying to set up my wordpress account so that I can post by using email. (“Post via e-mail” in the Options > Writing section of WP.) Now one of the steps in doing this is to view “http://example.com/installdir/wp-mail.php.” I don’t have the “isntalldir” folder anywhere in my server. So my question is, where do I get this folder and wp-mail.php file?

    OK, I’ve found that I’m an idiot. I didn’t realize that what installdir meant in the instructions. Ahh… k, I feel very stupid now. Thanks for the replies, anyway.

    Well, I don’t think you need to feel stupid. Seems to me that’s a problem with the way the docs (such as they are) are written. NO ONE is a mind reader, and “installdir” with no annotation is certainly not intuitive.

    Yes, I suppose I shouldn’t be too hard on myself for it. Anyway, I did end up figuring it out. Though I now need to figure out how to get images to work when posting via email…
