Title: WHERE IS IT??????!!! Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # WHERE IS IT??????!!! * Resolved [zebsola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebsola/) * (@zebsola) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/) * 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 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526829) * Look in: admin -> Options -> Writing * Thread Starter [zebsola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebsola/) * (@zebsola) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526855) * 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… * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526857) * 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? * Thread Starter [zebsola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebsola/) * (@zebsola) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526858) * 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.”](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? * Thread Starter [zebsola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebsola/) * (@zebsola) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526859) * 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. * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526860) * 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. * Thread Starter [zebsola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebsola/) * (@zebsola) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526862) * 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… Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘WHERE IS IT??????!!!’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [by](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/by/) * [email](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/email/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 7 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [zebsola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebsola/) * Last activity: [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-it/#post-526862) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
