timethief on "Importing Themes using FTP client"

If you are going to blog here at WordPress.COM then you cannot use any theme that is not coded to run on WordPress.ORG software. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload third party themes.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot access and edit any templates underlying our themes. Only Staff can edit as every blog wearing the same theme is using the same template.

Unless you are prepared to pay for a VIP account, http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this at WordPress.COM.

To upload themes you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.ORG install. To clearly understand the differences between WordPress.COM free hosted blogs and WordPress>ORG installs for self hosting read this comparison > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

samefacedifferentplace on "How do I transfer JUST ONE of my Blogs?"

samefacedifferentplace — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:03:04 +0000

Thanks - I have actually done that already. The only problem is, it is my Profile and Gravitar which is appearing under all his posts. I can't seem to split them - this is why I want to transfer FULL OWNERSHIP so he can customise the 'about' page and 'profile' specifically in accordance with his own details.

But if I transfer the acumen blog can I be absolutely sure, this won't transfer the everything associated with my primary blog?

You do it for just the one blog by going to the Dashboard of that blog and Inviting him under Users. It doesn't give him any rights to other blogs.

samefacedifferentplace on "How do I transfer JUST ONE of my Blogs?"

samefacedifferentplace — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:45:36 +0000

I set up my original blog samefacedifferentplace but then a client of ours wanted his own blog - so I set up a new one under my account: acumenaccounting. I now want to transfer this one to the client so it resides under his wordpress account and not mine. But I am terrified that if I do this, it's going to transfer everything - including my own blog samefacedifferentplace - how do I do it for just the one blog?

I recently purchased my own domain through wordpress.com.

I am currently moving my old wordpress.com blog in order to host it in my new personal domain. I cannot find out who I'm really client for as it was purchased through wordpress.com but once performing dns/ip/host search it appears to be different companies such as Peer 1 Networking, Wild West Domains, Jumplaunch but none of them seem to have me as a client.

I just basically want to know who am I paying my hosting services to? And also the settings of my contract. If somebody could shed some light I'd appreciate it very much.

Otherwise I am going to have to cancel the contract. Please bear in mind I am a newbie in all this.

Many thanks,

Juan

You can post with a mobile if you login through http://m.wordpress.com. As well, if you want to upload images, you can do it through just going to the admin page with your phone browser (not perfect), but it will not look 100% right. I have actually uploaded a file this way myself with the same phone. The first URL is the best for posting and checking stats on a phone though.

I am looking for a client to use on my treo 750 to post to my wordpress blog. I would like to be able to upload a picture as well as text. Free is always good but if I have to pay for it It better work well. Has anyone had any luck with a client where can I get it.

Thanks

antoniofabianohermida — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 18:12:25 +0000

to post with drivel in your wordpress, just select the option movable type and in the server line http://wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

eadwine — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 20:35:37 +0000

Thanks for the well wishes. I have to upgrade my system altogether before I can test the latest Drivel version (see complete overhaul of system comment required for that).

Thanks for the info and helping me out though! I will basically just have to wait till I have installed the latest Mepis, I guess. If it then DOES work, I will of course post back here and let that be known.

drmike on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

drmike — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 20:31:05 +0000

It may be the version as you say. Drivel is up to 2.0 at least. I will note that I did not find 1 WordPress thread upon searching their mail list archives though so maybe it is an untested area although they say it works.

I will though say that we do have XML-RPC support here on WP.com though as we've had a number of blogging clients come up here in the forums and I use it to make cross posts to my back up and test blogs here.

Good luck,
-drmike

eadwine on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

eadwine — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 20:24:15 +0000

Irritating, that is :( Too bad I cannot use Blogtk just yet to test another client than this one (needs a MASSIVE upgrade and I mean wipe system, pretty much).

The option I have chosen is Custom, the only set up and ready to go options are LJ, Deadjournal, uJournal and Gotdiary?.

I am STRONGLY beginning to suspect that my version of Drivel is one that does not yet support WP, in which case this whole post sequence becomes moot. Version is 1.2.4.

I also tried to see if I could get help on the Drivel section, but yeah.. you experienced the same thing. It is amazing to me how behind on Linux blog clients still are, where support is concerned in any case.

If someone else may have an idea of what line I need to put in the server field to get things to connect, or maybe even a different login name that I should use (one can never know) it'd be much appreciated.

But thank YOU a bundle for your support though! It's nice to see someone dive into things like that :)

Oh.. and to add, I started the program from the konsole to see what messages I would get, but nothing came forward at all.

drmike on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

drmike — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 16:01:37 +0000

I'm guessing that you don't get an error log or anything on that end?

I'm looking through their mail list archives but I'm not getting an hits either.

Just love how they have no public forums, no public documentation, the download isn't in zip format, (I'm stuck on a windows PC here and can't SSH from here into my servers to unzip it myself), their CVS and bug system is locked behind a password site.

I do see in one of their screen shots that you get to choose the Jounal Type. What type are you trying to use? While they mention that they support WordPress indirectly, I would try Movable Type as well since the xmlrpc thingie will take that format as well.

edit: I saw your post. WordPress IIRC does not support the LJ format.

eadwine on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

eadwine — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 15:48:01 +0000

It's to make posts indeed, simply write and upload, so to speak. Like wbloggar (more familiar in computerland I think) would do.

I put that "eadwine.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php" in there and I got a bit further, a new error pops up. I remember seeing this when Googling about:

"Oh bother, there's a server error. Please try again later."

I see the line in a bunch of code on this page for example: http://l10n-status.gnome.org/HEAD/PO/drivel.drivel-2-0.pot

But I haven't got a clue what the stuff there means.

To add, I have to enter things in the server screen manually, but I cannot select XML-RPC interface for some reason, only traditional (POST) interface is available.

And another addition, I tried to connect with an LJ client, entering the proper data as given, and it gave me this error message in return:

"Unable to parse server response; it began with:
XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."

drmike on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

drmike — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 15:25:33 +0000

It's just to make posts and that's it, right?

I'm guessing (hoping) that it uses the XML-RPC format.

Try pointing it as eadwine.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php without the http or the www. (Shouldn't be using the www anyway as it already has three levels in the domain name for a *.com) That's what I use for my Blogger API crossposter.

eadwine on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

eadwine — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 15:20:24 +0000

I have tried
'www.wordpress.com'
'www.wordpress.com/something.php' (the something bit I found while googling, but that is more for blogs hosted on own servers I believe).
'www.eadwine.wordpress.com'
'www.wordpress.com/eadwine'

And I added http, I removed that bit again.. I'm stumped.

And Drivel is what you stated indeed. :)

drmike on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

drmike — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 15:14:19 +0000

And the specific information you're putting in there would be?....

And Drivel would be?....

Maybe this?

I don't see any documentation but maybe we can help if you let us know what information you're putting in there.

eadwine on "Wordpress.com journal and blog client (Drivel) server address"

eadwine — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 07:38:45 +0000

Using Linux and having Drivel available I would like to log in, however no matter what I put in preferences for the network, journal server address, I get a communication error and it tells me it can't send info to the server.

I have tried several things found in Google, but it's a no go and I am stuck now. Can someone help me figure this one out?

Do note, this is for a free account hosted on wordpress.com. Thanks !

Yuuzai

Can you explain your question? I don't understand what you mean. Are you talking about for your wp.com blog or a different one?

Normally you would just put the url of your blog in the posting url (usually with a .php file as well).

Certainly that's what I did when I used performancing.
