Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: no luck posting to WP from client softwareI tried the new version of w.bloggar and it seems to work ok for REALLY simple posts. If I have *any* html formatting in the post, like bold, blockquote, etc., it doesn’t send it properly to WordPress. In WordPress I’ll see lots of angle brackets and HTML escape characters. So this:
simple text
<b>bold</b>
blockquote
end post
… ends up looking like this:
simple text
<<b>>bold<</b>>
<>block quote<
>
end post
… in the WordPress editor, and the final output looks like this:
simple text
<bold<
<
block quote<end post

In reply to: no luck posting to WP from client softwareHi, my site host finally fixed some problem with PHP-XML that was causing wordpress to fail in certain cases (xmlrpc.php being one of them).
But, I’m still stuck. I tried both Zempt and W.Bloggar and neither work.
Zempt crashes when I try to create a new account. It reads the categories and some other information, seemingly successfully, then I get a C++ abnormal termination error.
W.Bloggar doesn’t list WordPress as one of the supported apps, so I’m forced to try something else like b2 or MT. In either case I get the same results as with the addin: a bunch of garbled mess.
I can’t imagine I’m the only one experiencing this. I’m running a standard install of WP. My site host is running PHP 5.0.2. Could this have something to do with it?

In reply to: no luck posting to WP from client softwareThis is weird. Now nothing works. Nothing has changed except I’m away visiting family for the holidays using my laptop through my parent’s connection. The NewsGator+b2 plugin, which used to succeed in sending garbled posts, now tells me the “response does not contain valid XML”. Zempt and W.Bloggar give me similar messages. I’ve confirmed I can reach the website (www.chirilov.org). I have no idea what’s going on. I’ll have to try again later, possibly when I get home again (12/28). Until then I can’t confirm if Zempt and/or W.Bloggar work or not.

In reply to: no luck posting to WP from client softwarebtw, here’ s a sample of what I get when I post using the b2 plugin for NewsGator. I posted this from intraVnews, a different app, but it supports the same plugins and produces the same results. Note this is all in the body. The post doesn’t even show as having a title (“intraVnew test” was supposed to be the title). This is what came back from an RSS feed of my own site, so I guess Kubrick has nothing to do with this.
