xmlrpc troubles

You shouldn’t have to do anything to get xmlrpc.php to work. It sits and waits for incoming requests. You might be getting the 406 error because browsing to that file isn’t how it’s meant to be invoked.

I recently completed integration to wordpress from FotoFlix and it worked great. I haven’t tried posting from Flickr but I was able to post from FotoFlix without any problems.

Are you entering your endpoint (https://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php)?

If you continue to have problems I can try to post a photo from FotoFlix and see if there’s something weird with the xmlrpc.php file you have.

It was my understanding that xmlrpc.php should give the message that it only accepts POST requests when browsed to.

the endpoint I’m entering is

https://sean.boysofsummer.ca/xmlrpc.php

which is where the file is located on my server

That is what I get…

XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

Ditto.

Double-ditto (or would that be triple-ditto?)

And another! I asked over at the Flickr forums and they say it’s a bug with WP.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I think your URL is wrong. I use XMLRPC regularly.

Wow, that is the strangest thing. I spent the last three days trying to get it to say that, and now all of a sudden it works. I’m going to email my host and see if they were changing configurations.

No, still no good for me – I’ve got the URL right – even copied it from my server. Just not happening.

WOW

It worked! I think the problem was that I put www. between the https:// and my blog address

Soon as I took that out it worked.

Rolls eyes!

I am trying very hard not to say – told ya so ??

Right, I have tried all the file permissions and with and without the www. but I am still getting ‘The endpoint you entered was not correct’… I downloaded wordpress today, from the download link above, so I can’t think it needs upgrading… is there an easy answer I have missed?

Hey – I just recently had a lot of problems with my xmlrpc.php file somehow not jiving with the server – it may have something to do with mod_security, not sure. Anyway, try renaming your xmlrpc.php file into something else, making sure you change it also in any files that include it or refer to it; I know it sounds stupid and simple, but this fixed a problem I had been trying to resolve for weeks.

Nope, tried it!

Bizarre…. it just decided to work. It was a different installation though. So if anyone else has this problem I suggest you reinstall and try again a few times. It seems to be a bit random… I have heard others claim this as well.
