Since early of this year I’m trying to blog using third party client. Unfortunately after providing user name/password and xmlrpc(XML Remote Procedure Call) link, the client returning HTTP Error code 404. Not found.
I figured out even I tried to access the file via web browser the server also returned 404 error.
To fix this error, enter the following code to .htacess file:
<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>
I read somewhere cited some provider blocking WordPress xmlrpc.php, due to security issues. A hacker might gain access to an older WordPress xmlrpc file.
Why I’m desperately want to blog remotely?
-
Now I can blog faster while having desktop draft and archive.
-
Faster blogging tool. Spellchecker & styling on the desktop faster than online WYSIWYG editor.
-
I’m on narrowband, 1Mbps connection, waiting online tools response tiring me.
As you can read this post, it’s my 1st success remote post via BlogDesk.
Happy remote blogging.
Using Google I stumbled across this posting. I have been trying for a long while since Live Writer [ http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com ] was announced to configure Remote Blogging. Your tip worked great (a godsend). Thanks!
