WordPress 2.7 incompatible with Windows Live Writer

I think Windows Live Writer have serious issues with WP 2.7
Many people are reporting all kind of problems with the WLW + WP 2.7

Have you tried with https://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/blog/ the latest RC?

I was able to figure out the problem with a bit of searching online.

It seems that the bug is because of incompatibility between libxml and php which causes the tags to be stripped.

Only option currently is to either downgrade to libxml 2.6.30 or install PHP with Expat option.

Check out https://blog.code-head.com/fixing-libxml-php-bug-and-issues-with-html-entities-downgrading-libxml/ for a tutorial of the same.

I have Fix this problem with libxml version 2.7.0 – 2.7.2.
Need to edit some files.

I’ll contact my webhost to update the library but this plugin works:

(the manual fix to comment out didn’t work for me)

I tried all that I can and seems to be going no where. I will contact my hosting provider tomorrow.
