Hi,
I'm having some problems when posting to a Wordpress 2.3 blog. I've done a screenshot which is below.
Oh, I should add that this happens whether I've got one or a few categories selected. But when I go to my blog via the browser, the post is in the draft folder.
Any idea what's the problem?
Thanks.
Well, just this minute upgraded to WP 2.3 and my test of ME/WP worked just fine.

Isaak: Another user has reported similar symptoms, and it turned out to be one of the plugins they had installed was incompatible with 2.3 and needed to be updated. Can you check your plugins, if you've installed any custom ones? You may need to disable some to determine which one is the culprit.

Hi Daniel: Thanks. Will try upgrading and disabling some of the plugins. Any idea what plugin was it that the user had to disable?
It was the "Google Sitemap Generator" they needed to update. I suspect there will be many plugins that need updating, though.
Hi Daniel: Think that's the culprit! Once I've updated "Google Sitemap Generator" plugin, everything worked. Thanks.
OK! Good to know. I hope this will serve as a good reference for others who run into the problem.
Hi I have all my plugins deactivated and I'm still getting the same message. It was happening on WP version 2.2 and now version 2.3.
Help

loulesko: it's possible there's a different issue affecting you. Do you mind telling us what your blog is, or is it private? I wonder if I might get some clues about what could be going wrong by taking a peek at it.

I just sent an email to support -at- red-sweater.com with access info. If you don't get it let me know, I'll check the forum in an hour.
thanks
Lou
Update: I worked with Lou offline on this issue and we finally figured out that the core problem was a "memory use" limitation on the server. For others browsing the forum, this might come in handy to know about. The symptom in this case was it only happened when uploading larger image files. Apparently WordPress processing those on the server end used too much memory and caused an error result in the Network Log, instead of the expected XML result.
I'm also getting this error intermittently on WP 2.3 and MarsEdit 2.0.2. It seems to happen more frequently if I'm also logged into the blog as an admin, or if I refresh the post my web browser too quickly after posting in MarsEdit. The post gets edited but marked as a Draft. I have to go to the edit page in the blog admin and change it back to Published.
Stuart if you can grab the contents of Window -> Network Log right after you see the error, and send me a copy offline that would be helpful!

Here's another error I just got: 'Can’t post for Creative-i because the server reported an error: parse error. not well formed.'
any idea what caused it?
PS: Just posted the exact same content via the Wordpress editor and no problems.

Thanks, I got the content you sent by email. I'll do some tests and see what I can find.
Okie-doke. I haven't yet done another post, so have nothing to compare it with.

So the culprit is a funny invisible character between the end of the word and the single quote in 'growth'.
If you use the arrow key to move the cursor to the right over that word, you'll see it hiccups before the closing quote. This is it bumping up against this funny invisible character (hex 0x1D). Not sure how it got into your text. Maybe the editor you used to write it snuck it in.
But yeah, MarsEdit should try to detect these invalid characters and present a better warning about them.

I saw the same problem that Creative-i experienced just now. I'm not sure where the invisible character came from, though; I'd edited the post in MarsEdit from start to finish.
Invisible was still invisible in the network log, but TextSoap pointed it out to me when I copied the text over there.

Hello,
I had the same problem with 0x10 invisible character. I removed it and it was working.
my version of MarsEdit is 2.2 (1588)
Thank you,
Martin
Thanks, Martin. Yeah, I need to come up with a solution for this.
I just ran across the same problem with a non-ASCII character. Well, non-UTF-8 character, I guess.
Eventually, I saved the logged response to a file.xml; opened it with FireFox which pointed to the line and column number and I realized&fixed the problem.
So the problem is the XML parser is throwing an error with an invalid character.
