Well I have updated my blog to the latest software (Wordpress 2.1) and it has broken postie. Postie is a plug in that I use to email my blog – particularly helpful from my mobile phone.

I finally found a solution to the problem and I am hoping this email will appear on my blog, if so I was successful

Postie error for anyone else – Postie only works on Word Press version 2.0 and above

To fix the problem you need to edit postie-functions.php. Find line 1908 it will look something like below:
function TestWPVersion() {
if (get_bloginfo('version').substr(0,1) == 2) {
return true;
}
return false;


It needs to look like

function TestWPVersion() {
if (get_bloginfo('version').substr(0,1) == 2) {
return true;
}
return true;


It is testing the version, number as the new version is 2.1 it is returning the false value so it wont work. This is a work around and so far there doesn’t appear to be an update for postie, but I haven’t yet fully tested work around.
