# Posts posting as “tmptitle”

 * Hi Wayne,
 * I’m experiencing a problem with posts not publishing automatically, the title
   becomes “tmpTitle” and the body is “tmpPost”
 * I’ve gone through previous support requests for this same issue, and looked at
   everything done so far.
 * Tried so far:
 * -Increasing memory allocated to WordPress via editing wp-config
    -Disabling all
   other plugins but postie.. -Changed theme to default 2015 theme -Installed AP
   Extended Mime Types
 * I use Postie on another site with identical settings and it works perfectly (
   hosted elsewhere with a different provider)
 * Also, I’ve sent an ultra simple message instead of one I’m trying to work and
   it works better, sort of.
 * For those messages they assign the correct post title, user, category and keep
   the content, but instead of showing as a “draft” they appear as “scheduled” for
   a date two hours previous to the current time. It’s all very strange. The time
   on my WordPress site is correct also.
 * Please help!
 * Keith

 * Hey there,
 * Fixed it.
 * I did give it more memory (96M as suggested) but it turns out 96M wasn’t enough.
   I tried 128M and this time it worked.
 * Posts still don’t appear straight away, they appear as “scheduled”, but this 
   isn’t really a problem – they eventually become published about 30 minutes later.
 * Anyways, all good.

 * This is happening to me intermittently. After I re-save the Postie mailserver
   settings it works again, but then after a few emails it stops. My memory was 
   already increased to 100M but I upped it to 128M per the solution above.
 * I’ve also read about this cron thing and changing those settings but have not
   idea what that is. Any other suggestions for me?

 * Please look in you php or webserver logs at the time the issue happened, you 
   should see an error message. Without that message it is very hard to help solve
   the issue.
 * Very likely you have large attachments which is causing PHP to run out of memory.

 * I’m still hung on this item. I have tried everything that pearldesigndub who 
   opened this tread has tried. I have checked and according to an info.php file
   I have 128M of memory allocated. I verified this with my hosting help desk. This
   is the most that I am allocated.
    I have tried to decipher info from your Process
   Email log, some server log files, the eror logs supplied by my hosting company
   and any other place I can imagine to try and get a thread to follow. Short messages
   work perfectly, medium messages from a hundred bytes up to a couple of kbytes
   are intermittent and anything big 5Kb and above just get lost. Sometime the Postie
   plug in just runs and runs and runs. How can I supply you with some information
   to help. Love the plug in and it is fantastic except for this problem. The problem
   is intermittent and very difficult to follow. Please some assistance. Don P

 * You can try setting “Maximum number of emails to process” setting to something
   small so as to use less memory.
 * You can also set “Enable Debug Logging” to Yes so that when the issue happens
   you have a full log.

 * Hi Wayne and thanks for the prompt reply. This morning I have run 4 tests. No
   message in the email, a short (1K), medium(5k) and long(22K) message.
    The Max
   emails is always set to 1. The Enable Debug and Enable Error Logging are both
   set to yes. The first 3 message went through OK and were posted, one of the Servers
   error logs can be viewed at [http://ffla-sandiego.org/atry/](http://ffla-sandiego.org/atry/)
   The messages are all the same.This is the web site that is having the problem.
   The 4th just hung until a 504 Gateway Time-out error was posted. Nothing ever
   appeared in the error log. You are welcome to log in as an administrator at ffla-
   sandiego.org using the username and password. We have a real dependancy on your
   plugin and really need to get this resolved. I hope that you are able to shed
   some light. Thanks Don P

 * [@dpiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpiller/) Please delete that user
   that you posted. I redacted the user ID and password but the information was 
   on the Internet for about 19 hours. Posting user IDs and passwords on the Internet
   even for test installations is never a good idea.

 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
