Topic: "Can’t post for [blog] because the server reported an error"
Can’t post for [blog] because the server reported an error: parse error. not well formed.
Some things to note:
1. I've been posting fine to this blog and made no changes leading up to this point.
2. After receiving this error I decided to upgrade Wordpress to 2.6.5
3. I still receive this error after updating.
4. This is only affecting one of two blogs I have set up in MarsEdit, and both are hosted on the same server (separate Wordpress installs).
As far as I can tell this means it is something in Wordpress, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something else I should double check in MarsEdit first. I can log into the blog and post without any issues, so I'm not certain where to go from here.
I looked at a few of the threads that seemed to have similar errors, but I didn't see one that jumped out at me as providing a solution I understood, though I was probably staring it in the face. If so I do apologize for asking the same question again.
