Posts are “pending” although they should be published

    Hi,

    suddenly some posts are not published but get the status “pending”. In settings we choose to publish them immediately. Is this behaviour documented? I can provide the debug output of such a mail but would not like to post it here due to sensible data included.

    Thanks Sascha

    I’d guess that there is something going on with the dates in the email which makes Postie think it should be published in the future (pending)

    Please send your debug output to help@postieplugin.com

    Please note that the debug output is only helpful if there is an email waiting to be processed that exhibits the issue.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Shouldn’t it be “planned” if it is a date/time issue?

    Anyway I’ll send you a debug output as soon as a mail behaves like this again.

    You are correct. I looked through the source code and there are only 2 ways to get the post into pending status.

    You can specific pending status, so if you have

    status:pending

    In your email that will change it to pending.

    The other way is if the user does not have permissions to post then the post is placed in pending status.

    I looked in the logs you just sent and see the following message:

    user doesn't have publish_posts capability

    You need to check the users permissions and what is configured in Postie as allowing publishing.
