Description of problem: When selecting "Self-Run WordPress" as a blog-type in preferences it always adds "wordpress/xmlrpc.php" at the end of the blog base URL. So the program cannot find the actual xmlrpc.php file and gives an error message when trying to post or lookup blogs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8-9.FC4 How reproducible: Just select Steps to Reproduce: Just select "Self-Run WordPress" as blog-type and after filling the xml-rpc_url/user/pass try to post or lookup blogs. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: You can still post to WordPress blogs by selecting a compatible blog-type, like "Self-Run Movable Type".
That is the expected behavior. It uses the default setting for a typical Wordpress installation. If you set-up a non-standard wordpress installation, you should use a Self-Run Type. Refer to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156855
Well, sorry but I cannot agree with this. :) When I first read the option "Base blog URL", I filled in the URL to the root directory of wordpress and most of the people would act the same way. Appending the "wordpress/xmlrpc.php" is too much convenience and it could confuse some people. Appending only the "xmlrpc.php" part would be more effective I think.
