Hello all,

I was having a similar issue with my theme on my website. I was looking around for some answers and found a fix that worked after combining some things.

If your theme doesn’t have the featured image when adding a slide OR you have the featured image area but no way to insert the image once you try adding the image via uploading (and such). You probably need to do one of two things:

In your themes functions editor (functions.php) you need to search for:
add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’);

If you have this function in your theme already, simply add the follwing code: array(‘post’,’slides’,’page’)

and this is what you should end up with:
add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’, array(‘post’,’slides’,’page’));

If you search and find nothing, simply add the line of code directly about this sentence.

I did this and I was finally able to add featured images to the plug-in.

Good luck and I hope this works for everyone.

Doug,

Thanks again, you were right as were my suspicions about bluehost. They don’t allow SMTP relaying so I’m unable to use gmail. I created an email account within bluehost’s account and after a few trials, Postie does work and connects to the email account, now the fun part is figuring out why, when I run postie it says:

• There does not seem to be any new mail.

Even though I have 2 brand new emails in the account waiting to be posted.

So for anyone having issues like I was with not being able to connect, even though settings were correct. Please check with your hosting provider and see if they block access to email accounts outside their “realm.” I can confirm that Postie is working now with WordPress 3.4

Doug,

Sorry to blow up there, I spent at least 3 hours yesterday searching for clues/answers as to why my gmail account can’t be accessed. When I run or test postie with POP3-SSL, port 995 and server pop.gmail.com I get the errors:

• Mail Connection Time Out/Common Reasons:
• Server Down
• Network Issue
• Port/Protocol MisMatch
• The Server Said POP3 connect: Error [101] [Network is unreachable]
• Or: The Server said:Can’t connect to gmail-pop.l.google.com,995: Network is unreachable

Since you say you’re using gmail as well and it’s working for you, I’m hoping you can hit us up with some hints or list what your settings look like. I’m tempted to contact my hosting provider and see if its something on there end now.

I have my gmail account settings for POP enabled for all “mail that arrives from now on”
