Following are the steps to access the writing settings:

Step 1: To change writing settings, go to Settings -> Writing option.

Following are the details of the fields on the page.


  • Formatting: This field defines two sub-options for better user experience.
The first option Convert emoticons like :-) and :-P to graphics on display will turn text-based emoticons into graphic-based emoticons.

The second option WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically corrects the invalid XHTML placed within the posts or pages.

  • Default Post Category: It is a category to be applied to a post and you can leave it as Uncategorized. 
  • Default Post Format: It is used by themes to select post format to be applied to a post or create different styles for different types of posts. 
  • Post via e-mail: This option uses the e-mail address to create posts and publishes posts on your blog through e-mail. To use this, you'll need to set up a secret e-mail account with a POP3 access, and any mail received at this address will be posted. 
  • Mail Server: It allows reading the e-mails that you send to WordPress and stores them for retrieval. For this, you need to have a POP3 compatible mail server and it will have URI address such as mail.example.com, which you should enter here. 
  • Login Name: To create posts, WordPress will need its own e-mail account. The Login Name will use this e-mail address and should be kept as a secret as spammers will post links redirecting to their own websites. 
  • Password: Set password for the above e-mail address. 
  • Default Mail Category: It allows selecting a custom category for all the posts that are published via Post by e-mail feature. 
  • Update Services: When you publish a new post, WordPress will automatically notify the site update services in the box. See the Update Services on the codex for the long list of possible services. 
Step (3): After filling all the above information, click on Save Changes button to save your information.
