wp.newPost XML-RPC custom fields XML format

    I’m generating XML from a desktop app and am successfully creating WP posts – using a custom post type. The post type has custom fields too, and I can update them through the WP UI.

    However, I’m having a mental block as I try to figure out the XML for wp.newPost to populate these custom fields from my desktop app. This is what I’m trying (no error message).

    Any ideas?

    <member>
    <name>custom_fields</name>
    <value>
    <struct>
    <member>
    <name>lrp_rating</name>
    <value>
    <string>5</string>
    </value>
    </member>
    <member>
    <name>lrp_album</name>
    <value>
    <string>sealed_knot</string>
    </value>
    </member>
    </struct>
    </value>
    </member>

    It should be like this:

    <member>
     <name>custom_fields</name>
     <value>
      <array>
       <data>
        <value>
         <struct>
          <member>
           <name>key</name>
           <value>
            <string>lrp_rating</string>
           </value>
          </member>
          <member>
           <name>value</name>
           <value>
            <string>5</string>
           </value>
          </member>
         </struct>
        </value>
        <value>
         <struct>
          <member>
           <name>key</name>
           <value>
            <string>lrp_album</string>
           </value>
          </member>
          <member>
           <name>value</name>
           <value>
            <string>sealed_knot</string>
           </value>
          </member>
         </struct>
        </value>
       </data>
      </array>
     </value>
