# Error with XML-RPC

 * I’m having some serious bother with XML-RPC and xmlrpc.php.
 * My xmlrpc.php file is in [http://wilde-world.co.uk/xmlrpc.php](http://wilde-world.co.uk/xmlrpc.php)
 * However when I try to get Flickr to point to it so I can blog photos, it says
   it has an error and suggests that my blog and username and password is to blame.
 * I also try to get ScribeFire to point to my blog and while it **finds my blog’s
   xml-rpc on its own** it won’t log in either with my admin account or the seperate
   account I have set up with it, claiming that the username and/or password is 
   incorrect.
 * This is not true as I can log in directly to my WordPress install using both 
   accounts so they do work.
 * So, what is wrong with my XML-RPC guys?

 * Oh come one lads, surely someone knows whats wrong?
 * I’ve seen a few other members have had similar problems with no satisfactory 
   answer or solution.

 * for future reference, and just a friendly headsup, your 2 hour later bump just
   removed you from the queue of unanswered posts. That queue tends to be the first
   place ppl look when answering.
 * Patience goes a long way here, and typically its nice to wait 24 hours before
   bumping. Impatience, on the other hand, while tolerated, doesn’t enamor anyone
   to your cause.
 * We all volunteer, and if no-one has answered yet then there a good chance that
   no-one knows the answer.

 * Has anyone figured this out? I’m having the same problem with FireScribe…

 * There are several threads on this same subject that have existed for months and
   so far as I can tell, none have been answered.
 * Also, please note that neither post2blog nor blogdesk nor livewriter will work
   with WordPress due to this same xmlrpc.php error.

 * Yes, and it’s quite likely that none of them will be answered. Nobody ever gives
   enough information to make any sort of informed guess at what is going on.
 * We cannot solve problems in a vacuum.
 * The problem is not a WordPress related one, it’s a server or site-specific issue.
   WordPress does indeed work fine with several XML-RPC capable clients, including
   all of the ones mentioned in this thread. Many of the main WordPress developers
   use XML-RPC on their own sites. Any bug in this respect would be noticed fairly
   quickly.
