# Cross-Posting from Blip.tv – ERROR

 * I am getting an error message in my blip.tv account when I try to cross-post 
   to my WordPress blog.
 * First, I created a contributor level account on my WordPress blog which allows
   for posting but the posts need to be approved by an admin first before they get
   published. I did this as a test because I want to be able to let certain people
   using blip.tv the ability to cross-post podcast posts (with attached MP3 files)
   to my blog.
 * Second, I setup my blip.tv account to cross-post to my blog, making sure to select
   the correct blogging system software (WordPress, self-hosted), enter the correct
   login information (username and password) for the user I created for this test,
   admin panel location (www.garagepunk.com/wp-admin), and the API Endpoint URL 
   as detected by blip.tv ([http://www.garagepunk.com/xmlrpc.php](http://www.garagepunk.com/xmlrpc.php)).
 * Next, I created a test post and uploaded an MP3 to attach to it. After the upload
   was complete, I waited several minutes for my post to be accepted or completed
   at my WordPress blog. Instead, it returned the following error message:
 * > Error encountered cross-posting: Fatal client error. Sorry, you can not post
   > on this weblog or category. at /var/www/prod/otter/bin/../lib/Net/Blogger/Engine/
   > Base.pm line 245.
 * Any idea what went wrong?
 * Thanks,

 * Hello again, I wanted to post that I was able to get this to work if I switched
   the role of the WordPress user from “Contributor” to “Author.” However, I don’t
   like having my users’ role set to Author because the posts publish immediately
   on the blog. I would prefer to be able to go in and view, edit (add additional
   categories, for one), and approve the post before it was published to the blog,
   which is why I was trying to do this with the user’s role set at “Contributor.”
   But when I tried it like that, it didn’t work, so I’ll again ask if anyone has
   any idea what would be preventing the cross-post from appearing on the WordPress
   blog for admin approval.

 * Does no one know what could be causing this error?
