Wordpress AutoDetectCan’t get recent posts for…Unknown Fault.

    Hello all,
    Pretty WP savvy, install + design websites, starting to use MarsEdit.

    Have one site, auto-detect worked great.

    Second site, can't get to auto-detect, nor manually enter in website accordingly, won't work.
    http://s3.postimage.org/5gtx0c78/Screen_shot_2011_05_03_at_12_14_41_AM.png

    When I try typing in -OR- attempting to auto-detect, get this message:
    "Auto-detect Settings Failed: Could not determine blog configuration from web page content."
    http://postimage.org/image/5it149fo/

    SO WHATS A BLOKE TO DO?
    I'm going koo-koo, but not for CocoaPuffs, that's for sure.

    I've looked the xlmrpc file, and its set up, WRITING on WP has been turned on, etc–the whole 9 yards, as directed. Am I overlooking something?

    I've exhausted my knowledge of WP and MarsEdit, and especially my patience.

    Anytakers?

    Hi staeven, the second blog you linked to, http://www.quantum-cmg.com/, doesn't have the required "RSD" information in the home page, that MarsEdit and other clients use to auto-configure a blog's settings. It's likely that the theme you are using for the blog, or perhaps a plugin, is causing the RSD information to be omitted.

    You can probably configure it manually, using your successful configuration as a template for what the settings should look like. I was able to guess that the "API Endpoint URL" for your second blog should be:

    http://www.quantum-cmg.com/xmlrpc.php

    You would then just need to set the System type to WordPress and the API to WordPress. The blogID should probably just be "1".

    However, I noticed in loading that API Endpoint URL in a browser there is something else lurking to go wrong. It looks like one of your plugins … something called "magic member"? has a bug that is screwing up the API and will mostly likely prevent MarsEdit from communicating with your blog. You might try disabling magic member if that's a viable option.

    Hi reubenirving - I just tried and http://www.capturewhispers.com/ seems to autodetect fine for me. Can you try again? I noticed the page was a little slow to load, maybe it timed out when you tried before?
