With the WAP-page I wrote you can post to your wordpress with a picture and text from your mobile phone. Only open a WAP-page in your phone and enter the data.
requirements:
- xHTML-capable mobile with support for ‘content upload’*
- gd-library integrated in PHP
features:
- upload a picture from your mobile phone and automaticly include it in your post
- choose your category by dropdown menu
installation:
- download the file and copy the included files and the ‘wp-images’ directory into your wordpress main directory
- For password protection you must use the login name and password from ‘Writing by e-mail’ under ‘options -> writing’. Do not use the same login name and password from your WordPress login! Data will be send unencrypted!
- also choose the category where you want your posts to be shown (Default post by mail category)
- in wp-wappost.php you have to edit the path to your uploads and possibly disable the Nokia JPEG fix
usage:
- just open
http://domainname.tld/wp-wap.phpin the browser of your mobile phone and enter your data… that’s it
- the default category is the one you have chossen in your ‘writing by e-mail’ options
note:
- standard poster is the user with id 1; you can easyly change this by editing the line
$post_author = 1;in wp-wappost.php
download:
Don’t hesitate to give feedback! Though this blog is in german your welcome to comment in english. I realy would be interested where in the world and with which mobile phone this little tool works 
.
have fun with your moblog
* known supported mobiles:
- Nokia: any newer camera phone (search for ‘content upload’)
- Sony Ericsson: K750i and W810i works, maybe P800, P900, P910; but not Z1010 or K700i (look here)
- Siemens: S65 doesn’t work
- Motorola: v600 doesn’t work
It seems, that only Nokia supports this technology… let’s see, if this changes in the future!

I have downloaded the plugin, and used it with my nokia.
when i hit “send”, it says “the current page can’t be displayed. click back to go to the previos page.”
but the post is published on the website, and the picture isn’t.
any ideas why?
I have only one idea. Maybe your picture is too big. On most nokia devices there is a limit of 100kB including all. There is some traffic overhead. With pictures not bigger than 90kB it could work. My biggest picture was ~60kB.
But, as far as I know the limit for 2650, 3200, 7200, 7250i and 7600 is 32kB.
i have nokia 6820.
the picture is something like 15k.
could it be something with the upload directory?
i just created a dir called “wp-upload” in /wordpress/.
it may be a problem with my cellular provider – Cellcom in Israel.
two things you could try:
set
$resize = 0in wp-wappost.php to see, if there are problems with the gd-librarysecond you can open wp-wap.php with your browser on a pc (firefox works, i didn’t test it with internet explorer). there you can use it as on your mobile phone. just try it with a picture from your phone or any else.
from the computer (using firefox) – works just fine.
with the wap, still the same problem. guess it’s my provider. oh, well, i’ll just post text for now.

Well, I was able to post with no problem using my Nokia 3660 in the USA. T-Mobile network. Check it out: http://www.romanedirisinghe.com/2005/11/17/moblog-test-post/
However, I can’t seem to upload an image. Any suggestions?
Also, I think it would be really cool if you could select multiple categories.
Great work!

Hi Roman,
the Nokia 3660 does not support content upload. You need this option for uploading pictures via your mobile.
Just look at this pdf-file and search for ‘content upload’. There you can see, which devices are supported.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will include the selection of multiple cateogries as soon, as I’m back home and am able to test it. But this may take a while.
ho nik
I love the plugin. I am having a problem though. Sometimes the pictures show up in the post on the main page. Other times the pictures don’t show up until you click on the individual post. Other times no picture can be found. It happens at random times. I am sure it has nothing to do with the plugin but I figure you will have more knowlege about WP than my newbie self. Thanks for any ideas.
That really sounds strange. If there is no picture at all, it could be a problem with the transmitting time. But the picture should not only be shown, when you click on the post. Eventually you can keep such an example on your blog for a few days and I will look, if I can find something.
Fantastic! I’ve managed to get this working on my website and I’m using a Nokia N90 to upload the files. I’ve changed the resize option to make the thumbnail a little smaller, made sure the poster has the correct permissions to upload etc (which was one of the origional problems). But for some reason, I can get the picture on my front page, but when clicking to get the full-size image I get a permission error. I’ve tried to ‘chmod’ the image itself, but do you know where I might be going wrong? (check out my website for the problem)
Great script! I love it! I’ll be posting a link to it from my site. Or would you prefer I host a copy of the script on my own site?
I’ve found where the problem is: It’s uploading the images with an owner called ’65534′. 655 is what the permissions should be, with ’3′ being the poster id (on wordpress). Not sure where the ’4′ comes from.
I’m going to have a look now and see whether I can change something in the script to sort it out..
I can’t chmod the files, as the owner is set as this ’65534′ and not me, so I’m not sure how to do it..
As far as I checked, the id ’65534′ is also often used for the user ‘nobody’. This can be done for security reasons… Normally in Linux I would use ‘umask’ to change this. But I don’t know, how to do it with a Webserver, when you want to upload a picture… maybe executing the correct ‘umask’ expression before thepicture is saved?

Thats not work with my cell phone. I have a Motorola L7 and a living in France and my blog is on powweb server in USA.
hi:
have you jsp examples?
Thanks
well, it doesn’t work on my “old” Nokia 6610i
I only get a blank page. So, I hope for plugin upgrates, or better for new Nokia 
Thanks for the plugin!
I’m using Sony Ericsson P910i. Your plugin works for me. But not completely, I’m getting error messages when I try to upload a photo. But without the photo, the plugin works great!
Some error samples:
“failed to open stream” and “Unable to move ‘/tmp/phpcMVpgR’ to ‘wp-upload/P8110051.jpg’”
Is it with the php server settings? Something to do with openbase settings?
Anyway, thanks for the plugin.
Whoa! I take it back! This plugin works great!
I just didn’t create the picture upload folder. Now that I have created the upload folder, this plugin works great even with photos!
Thanks for this plugin!
Hello,
I just installed the plugin and it works brilliantly! Thank you thank you thank you
However, I am running into a problem. Maybe you have heard of a solution? I don’t think the problem is related to your plugin, but it impacts it.
I have Explorer Mobile edition on my i-mate Jam. For some reason, the “browse” button and entire photo upload feature does not appear. I have the same situation when I look at wp-admin and try to post, I simply cannot find the photo upload feature. This is a problem, as I can see many people using Explorer Mobile. Would you have any idea as to why it behaves that way?
Thank you.
As Caughtya I have the same problem but with Opera Mini. I can post text from this but there is no posibility to upload a picture.
I get an error message when making posts from my wap browser so I would prefer using the opera browser. I use the Sony Ericsson K750. Any particular settings for this to make it work?
Regards
Andreas
Webiste only in danish – sorry
A quick follow up. The plot thickens!
Turns out that pre-WM5, Pocket Explorer had a problem with file uploads, so it’s not a plugin issue, most definitely a case of (**@^^$* Explorer striking again.
However, I downloaded Minimo, and can’t load that page at all now. If I go through my desktop browser, there’s no problem, but on Minimo, nothing.
Any thoughts?

Excellent plugin. However, picture upload doesn’t work on my Nokia 6233 with Opera Mini. I only have the option to choose a picture category but nowhere is there a link to any picture. Any ideas? Thanks once again for a very useful piece of software.

Hi,
I have tried this with my SonyEricsson w810i. It sends text fine, so thanks for that, v good, and photos are sent and stored, but they are not displayed. A little box is shown and if you clickon it you get the image.
plus… since i put the script up my theme has been shot down, instead of two columns the right column is now shown under the main one.
Any ideas how to fix the columns and show the photos?
thanks, and well done for the script.

Hi. You script works great. Thanks alot.. Using a P900 and had no problems with it. Thanks a lot.
Hi,
thank you for a wonderful plugin, I have been using it for 3-4 months now and everything has been working as it should. But…
I used to have a Sony Ericsson K750i, and to upload photos from that one worked fine. Now I have upgraded to a K800i and in that one there is a separate folder for the photos and I can’t choose that one. The workaround for now is to copy the picture from the photo folder to the pictures folder.
Anyway, thank you for a very nice plugin!
//Thomas
i already have the k800i and is it with every thing that you want to upload, you ever can only choose this folder, so it is not a problem of the plugin
try fastmail, it is the same
a german wordpress user
I installed the plugin. Tried it and it worked a couple of test-rounds. But when I changed the upload directory it stops working. I just get a blank page back when posting. I have set the permissions to the same as the one before. And it does not work when I change it back to the old directory either. I even replaced the wp-wappost with the original one and it still doesn’t work. Tried it on different wp-installations and the same behaviour occurs. Only get the blank page when posting and nothing into wordpress. Any ideas of what is wrong?
Hi! I have installed both WordPress and this little plugin in less than an hour! Works great with a K750i and no problems to upload a 329kb 1632×1224 pic (Well it took a while
. One question… I would like to email subsrcribers and have installed “WordPress Email Notification Plugin v2.3.1″. It works great with a ordinary blog entry, but with the wap blog it does not. Probably there are something that triggers the subscription function in the webposting version but not in the wapposting. Do you have the time to look in to it some time it would be great. http://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software/wp-email-notification.html
Above post solved. Used http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/ instead.
hi, nick!!
the plugin seems fantastic. but i have a stupid question… only problem is it seems i cannot install it properly, shame on me, never had any problems. do i install the two files in the directory wp-wap_en along with wp-images in the root directory or in the plugin directory? as they are in the wp-wap_en directory, or not?… many thanks in advance, i don’t want to use any other of the moblog plugins, as yours seems fantastic to me!
cheers!
Me too!
> cannot install it properly, shame on me
I wouldlove to try your fantqastic work. I always install in plugins. Is this in root & chmod 755 ?
could you give a little more detail THANKS

Ok, never that I will give up on this one!
I’m running a Nokia N80, tried the upload with both Nokias own browser and the Opera browser (not the mini).
If I’m just using text, then It’s ok, but when I’m trying to attach an image, the only thing that shows is a blank screen.
If I however looks to the ws-upload directory, there is the picture file..
Very irritating.
Anyone that could give me a helping hand?
Please!!..
kristofer: when I try to upload a picture that is large (3.2 mpix) I also get a blank screen, but if I reduce the picture to.. say 640×480 everything works fine. Dunno if thats a plugin problem or something else.
I updated the component (v0.2.1). There was indeed a minor bug concerning resizing (but only if the original file was smaller than the target resize width).
Anyway, if the picture is too big, your provider may kill the resizing process as it needs too much resources.
Hi!
Love the plugin! Is it possible to select more than one picture? Would be great!

I have exactly the same problem. I know it’s not the upload size, as I have tried this with images from 5 KB up to 70 KB, all of which appear in the wp-upload dir, as kristofer experienced. Text-only postings work perfectly… but it’s as though the code just stops running if you post a picture!
