Livewriter to WordPress causes partial html

  • Hi there, I’d be grateful for some help!

    I use Windows Live Writer to write blog entries and then post draft blog entries to WordPress. This was working fine until recently, but after I updated to the latest version of WordPress (3.2.1), partial html appears in the visual window (not the html window) on drafts that have been posted from Live Writer. For instance, I just wrote this into Live Writer:

    Testing testing, I am testing my blog.

    My blog doesn’t seem to be working properly.

    But when I post the Live Writer draft to WordPress, it appears in the visual window like this:

    pTesting testing, I am testing my blog./p pMy blog doesn’t seem to be working properly./p

    I am using the Arras theme, version 1.5.0.1, and the 2011 version of Live Writer.

    Thanks so much!

  • Below is the post where I found the solution. I met the same problem, and couldn’t solve it until I see the following post.

    Windows Live Writer WordPress Fix
    So when I first tried Windows Live Writer, it seemed to post fine. But lately it always strips out all the HTML tags and makes a mess of things. For example, if I were to post:

    <p>Hello World!</p>

    It would come across more like:

    pHello World!/p

    This post describes the problem and how to fix it, but really I was in no mood to update my PHP and libXml install. So, after a bit more searching I found this plugin that worked like a charm! Thank you Joseph Scott.

    Here is the link the plugin https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/libxml2-fix/

    Just install this plugin and it will solve your problem.
