None of this is working for me. A fresh install of WP 1.5.2 returns the same “endpoint” error via Flickr, and “POST” error via direct URL. Changing permissions to 777 hasn’t helped, neither has running upgrade.php. The user account is level 10.

Any other ideas out there? Others are still reporting this error in 1.5.2

I strongly agree with Sisob, Zeno, and Jaykul. WordPress has so many good features offer, but storing cleartext passwords is an awfully big risk to carry, especially when WP is hosted on a shared server–which unfortunately is what the vast majority of personal site do use. Unfortunately, password hashing didn’t make it into the 1.0 release after all. Too many people use the same login/password combo all the other the net, so a compromise of one site’s user db can have a nasty domino effect for the user whose password has been exposed. Hopefully the developers will add mandatory password hashing very soon. There’s good reason this has become such a routine security/privacy measure.

Me too, on a pristine new (not upgraded) installation of 1.0.

Same thing’s happening to me. There are more reports at https://www.ads-software.com/support/3/1477. Looks like a 1.0 bug. Any word from the developers on how to correct it?
