XMLRPC Windows LiveWriter error with plugin I am developing

  • I am trying to write a Private Post plugin that will search the “post_title” during an XMLRPC publish for the string “PRIVATE: “. If I find it, I will remove the string from the title, and then change the post status to “private”. I am using the xmlrpc_publish_post hook.

    Windows LiveWriter doesn’t support private posts, so I have to publish as draft and then login to the web ui to set it to private.

    The functionality works fine and does what it is supposed to in WordPress, but after posting in LiveWriter, the program chokes and gets an invalid XMLRPC response. It then leaves the post in draft status in the client, even though the post was successful as a private post in WordPress.

    Is there anything I can do to debug this better and see why exactly LiveWriter is choking?
