xmlrpc mw_newMediaObject ignores blog_id

    Hi there

    I am running a subdirectory enable WP.

    Using an XMLRPC call to mw_newMediaObject, I can not get uploaded files to land in the media library of the target blog, blog_id 2. The uploaded files always land in the uploads/yyyy/mm folder. And in the media library for that blog too.

    I trace the blog_ID to class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php and it’s definitely receiving the correct value (2) at that point. So, if anybody knows why the uploads are mis-directed from there I’d appreciate your advice.

    Sanity check: the xmlrpc returns a packet containing this data:

    array (
        'id' => '30',
        'file' => 'test2_889047515_2.png',
        'url' => 'http://bidwp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/test2_889047515_2.png',
        'type' => 'image/png',
      )

    and the htaccess is standard from the WP codex.

    How are you defining the blog ID and upload folder?

    I’m stabbing in the dark at a grue here, mind you….

    blog_ID is passed to the call thus:

    require_once 'IXR_Library.php';
$client = new IXR_Client('http://my-site.com/xmlrpc.php');
$params = array('name' => 'test2_889047515_2.png', 'type' => 'image/png', 'bits' => new IXR_Base64($bits), 'overwrite' => false);
$client->query('wp.uploadFile',2, 'admin', 'password', $params);

    and as mentioned the returned packet is in the previous post.

    Thanks,

    I’d need to see the whole code to even begin to backtrack through it. Do you have it on GitHub maybe?

    Hi,

    I found the cause in the end. Despite the RPC requiring a blog ID parameter and despite the method itself having a $blog_ID variable, the solution was to call the xmlrpc.php from the sub blog.

    So,

    using mysite.com/xmlrpc.php and passing blog_id 2 // fails
    using mysite.com/sub-blogname/xmlrpc.php // works

    Not documented too well that I could find!
