A frequently requested feature is to be able to update a post by email. I’m happy to announce that it is now possible to do this via the Postie Shortcodes Addon.

To update a post create your email as usual then add [preplace] at the end. In order for Postie to know which post to replace your email subject must match the post title exactly.

Let me know if this is useful.

• Fix bug where filtering out an attachment using postie_include_attachment prevented other attachments from being processed

• Update logging to output encoding info
• Fix bug where non-image titles are blank

Fixed bug where image titles are blank. Bug was introduced in 1.9.34. No significant impact, image files just had a blank title and showed as “(no title)” in the Media Library.

Allow for a single admin when sending post confirmation emails.

The Notify on Error setting now lists individual admins in addition to the Nobody and All Admins options.

• Workaround for WP bug #39521 to correctly set image caption from image metadata.

Media items authorship is now set correctly.

The filter intermediate_image_sizes_advanced is now only effective when Postie is running.

• Additional logging

• Add setting to skip image resizing
• WP 5.1 compatibility testing
