Hi Guys,
I’m trying to set up the Post Via Email option in native wordpress (Not the Jetpack plug in version). I’ve created a gmail account for this, enabled Pop access, added the pop server/ port, log in details etc on the Setting -> Writing section. Then sent a test email to the address to see if it posts.
The email reaches the gmail account with no issue, and there it stays. WordPress never posts it, I’m unsure if it even checks it, as there is no test function in the Writing Settings to see if it can successfully log in, and no error log to show failed attempts etc.
I’ve searched the forums here for a solution and the only answer I can find is from over 2 years ago, a suggestion to just use a plug in. I’m not looking for a plug in, if the functionality is in WordPress naively, I shouldn’t need to go installing plug ins to add the function again.
Does anyone know what the issue might be, if this is a known issue, if it’s something I can fix.
WordPress version 6.3.1, installed on a Cloudways Digital Ocean server,
