senicaI have done tons of research today, but apparently I'm just not getting the right answer. Today is my first day using XML-RPC. Piece of cake.
I was able to do a Trackback, a PingBack, and various XML-RPC calls with different APIs to my blog. The one thing that I cannot seem to be able to do is add an anonymous comment to my blog remotely.
I have seen where other people have asked this question, and Jonathan has said that it was covered in the XML-RPC API. Basically, mentioning that if you leave the username and password blank, it will work.....It doesn't. At least not in my case. I always get:
faultCode 403 faultString Bad login/pass combination.
Here is the request I'm sending:
$request = '
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>wp.newComment</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value><int>11838212</int></value>
<value><string>{username}</string></value>

</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>';
If I have a username and password in there...it works perfect. The only problem is, it shows "me" as the poster, whereas I want to allow people to post comments to my blog from my other website as well and have "their" name show up as the poster.
As already mentioned, if I take the username and password out....no dice.
The blog I need help with is allebrum.wordpress.com.
