Hi Kathryn,

Here is the php code I"m using to post the xmlrpc.

$username = "myusername"; //USED USERNAME NOT EMAIL ADDRESS $password = "mypassword"; $url = "http://splash123marketing.wordpress.com";


$body = <<
This is a test post from $oursitelink.



POSTBODY;
$rpcurl = "$url/xmlrpc.php";
$title = htmlentities($title,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);

$keywords = htmlentities($keywords,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);

$category = "test,";

$content = array(

    'title'=>$title,

    'description'=>$body,

    'mt_allow_comments'=>0,  // 1 to allow comments

    'mt_allow_pings'=>0,  // 1 to allow trackbacks

    'post_type'=>'post',

    'mt_keywords'=>$keywords,

    'categories'=>array($category),

);

//======================================CREATE NEW CATEGORY

$myCat = array(

        'name' => $category,

        'slug' => $category,

        'parent_id' => 0,

        'description' => 'test',

);
$paramscat = array(0,$username,$password,$myCat,true);

$request = xmlrpc_encode_request('wp.newCategory',$paramscat);

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);

$results = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

//echo $results;

//=======================================MAKE POSTS===== $results = ""; $params = array(0,$username,$password,$content,true); $request = xmlrpc_encode_request('metaWeblog.newPost',$params); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1); $results = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $results;

Kathryn really appreciate your help! Thanks!

Thanks for making a separate post. Could you please let me know by what means you're using XML-RPC to post to the site? The more detail we have, the better. Thanks for your help.

Just made a new wordpress blog and wanted to post to it via XMLRPC but any test I did does not work.

Any info you need I'd be glad to share, any help you can provide would rock!
