Blogdesk-how to enable options-writing.php. Help please?

2 replies
Hi
Can someone help with this problem please. I'm trying to set up Blog desk to post to my wp blog. I get a message that XML-RPC services are disabled and i need to enable them at wp-admin/options-writing.php.
I've found the above file and have copied below what I think is the relevant bit of code to amend. However, how exactly do I "enable them below"
Thanks for any help.
All the best,
Paul
PS if I can return the favour with some UK tax help let me know.

<h3><?php _e('Remote Publishing') ?></h3>
<p><?php printf(__('To post to WordPress from a desktop blogging client or remote website that uses the Atom Publishing Protocol or one of the XML-RPC publishing interfaces you must enable them below.')) ?></p>
<table class="form-table">
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><?php _e('Atom Publishing Protocol') ?></th>
<td><fieldset><legend class="hidden"><?php _e('Atom Publishing Protocol') ?></legend>
<label for="enable_app">
<input name="enable_app" type="checkbox" id="enable_app" value="1" <?php checked('1', get_option('enable_app')); ?> />
<?php _e('Enable the Atom Publishing Protocol.') ?></label><br />
</fieldset></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><?php _e('XML-RPC') ?></th>
<td><fieldset><legend class="hidden"><?php _e('XML-RPC') ?></legend>
<label for="enable_xmlrpc">
<input name="enable_xmlrpc" type="checkbox" id="enable_xmlrpc" value="1" <?php checked('1', get_option('enable_xmlrpc')); ?> />
<?php _e('Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.') ?></label><br />
</fieldset></td>
</tr>
<?php do_settings_fields('writing', 'remote_publishing'); ?>
</table>

    There are two things I think you can try.

    1.Log in to your admin area, go to Settings >> Writing - you'll find a checkbox that says
    XML-RPC Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.

    Check it, Save. Test.

    If that doesn't work, try
    2. Logging in to your web hosting account using FTP or you can do this via cPanel, find xmlrpc.php, change permissions to 755.

    I think #1 will solve your problem. But I do know that some hosts have special requirements for xmlrpc publishing, hence the 2nd option. If both doesn't work, update here I may have another suggestion.
