• I use Digg.com frequently and one of the reasons I chose WordPress as how easy it was to use the “blog this” feature and have digg directly insert a post to my blog. When I initially tested it, it worked fine.

    But when I installed and went ahead, whenever I go to use “blog this” I receive an error message “parse error. not well formed” after the post is submitted. The post actually does submit but digg does not think it worked. If it helps, it will create it’s own category “Uncategorized”, bypassing my default News.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Anyone on this? I have no realized that it probably is a digg.com problem. I installed a test wordpress installation and Digg won’t post to that either. It used to work a month ago.

    Does anyone have any ideas what “parse error.not well formed” means?

    In your Digg.com settings do you have it setup up to point to your blog?

    Yes, I do. It won’t actually let you put in a fake address in there, so the address must point to the blog.

    Hey – I’m having similar problems; I have been using Feedwordpress and have been getting the same thing. But weeks ago, it was running fine, and I even put the old files back on the server and tried them as they were previously set up, however they didn’t work either all of the sudden. I think it is something either with my server/host, or the updated WordPress, or just something well-beyond my know-how.

    That’s very interesting. I submit “report a bug” to digg.com but that doesn’t seem to do anything nor do I get any reply back.

    All it means is my blog doesn’t show up listed when you look at “Who’s blogged this…” section. I like to think some people my check out my blog if it did show up.

    So anyone know why I keep getting this error? Anyone see the same thing? It’s getting to be really frustrating.

    I get the same thing, and so does this guy:
    http://blog.justinpfister.com/2005/10/diggcom-errors-on-blog-implementation.cfm

    I can’t find a fix either.

    I have it working correctly on a wordpress I have installed on a subdomain but it gets the same parse error when I ‘blog this’ on my installation of wordpress residing at http://www.domain.com (sure, ok, www is a subdomain too).

    I’ve noticed it gives the same error if I give it an incorrect password.

    Hmmm. Tried giving it an incorrect URL (added wp to the end of the URL and that doesn’t exist) and it says it blogged it correctly. (it didn’t though).

    Odd. I went back to check my profile and it appears to have stripped the wp off the end of the URL. I retyped the user/pass and am getting the parse error again.

    Changed profile to use movable type instead. Failed. (kinda expected that though)

    Changed it back to what look to be correct settings….same error.

    Tried in both Firefox and Opera…doesn’t appear to be a browser issue. Haven’t tried it in IE but I also haven’t tried jumping in front of a speeding train.

    I’ve got two logins to digg. I changed my profile to use the URL based on another subdomain. I ‘blog this’d and it has published the article correctly. I assume it isn’t a difference between my two digg logins.

    Dang. Changed the settings back and I’m back to the parse error.

    D’oh. Dropped the www off the URL and still getting the error.

    Can anyone think of possible differences between two wordpress installs that may do this? Both are WordPress 1.5.2 running in a shared environment, virtually hosted, safe mode on (no issues with that as long as the permissions are correct).
