   Hello,

   anyone able to tell me how to change the WP XML-RPC restrictions?

   As soon as I fetch more than 100 posts via Windows Live Writer
   I get the error: "The response to the metaWeblog.getRecentPosts method received from the blog server was invalid:Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server". Same error message in other Blog editors as well.

   Fetching less than 100 works fine but I have thousands of posts.

   Did you look at the raw XML or the WLW logs to see exactly what the error in the response was?

   Here's the WLW log:

   "Root element is missing" doesn't help me at all -.-

   You'll likely have to look at the raw XML then, I'd start at the bottom.

   Thanks, Joseph!

   Found the "solution"

   http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=5458df62-099c-46c4-8c63-6494fe50741c says:

   This issue is caused because by default the WordPress XML-RPC has a file size limit for images. If the image size is too large for the XML-RPC to process then it will throw the above exception :-(

   Would have been better if there's a way just to fetch the text content without any images.

   It isn't clear if that is the same problem, but I suspect if you look at the raw XML response and your web server/PHP error logs you will find more details on exactly what happened.

   PHP does impose specific size and memory requirements (to keep individual requests from crushing the server), which you may be running into.
