# Can't Save Changes… Permissions?

 * Hi There…
 * New to Postie, not to WP. I’m attempting to install Postie on an internal project/
   development site @ Dreamhost (running 3.4.2).
 * I can’t save any server information whatsoever on the Dashboard (pop or imap).
   The _Save Changes_ button is nonresponsive, dead. _Test Config_ results in “NO-
   Check Server Setting / POP” (even when I specify POP3/IMAP and/or SSL.) At this
   point I assume it’s probably a recursive permissions issue, no?
 * This particular install is a third-of-five theme fork under that single domain…
   Feel like I’m missing some sort of top-level permissions.
 * Any thoughts? Much appreciated, Chris.

 * If you set this in your wp-config.php what do you see?
 * define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

 * Thanks for the quick response… Misapprehension on my part, I think.
 * I changed gmail’s server addresss to smtp (which I’d assumed was incoming) and
   disabled mod_sec — all is now fine. Great plugin!
 * One suggestion… might be to include some sort of error code info on the dashboard
   when setup doesn’t go as planned (saving didn’t “save,” testing errored out, 
   etc; though I’m sure that’s in the log file somewhere).
 * Trouble you with one last question? Is there an easy way to preserve default 
   post formatting for single image attachments (flush left, custom size) and otherwise
   for galleries? Luddite client… attempting to make things as simple as possible
   for him.
 * Best, Chris.

 * >include some sort of error code info on the dashboard
 * WordPress core handles all the saving, so I’m not sure what else I can do. If
   you’re talking about testing the config then much more logging has been added.
 * >Is there an easy way to preserve default post formatting
 * Can you tell me more about what you’re seeing vs what you want to happen? Maybe
   some screen shots?
