this fix is 2 years old, it’s for older WordPress versions. It doesn’t seem to occur on WordPress 3.0.

If you get “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.” when you access xmlrpc.php via browser, that’s ok.

Is “Forbidden” really the whole error message you get? You can try to disabled mod_security by placing the following into .htaccess:


SecFilterRemove 114

Looks like some people with iPhones have this issue: http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/topic/403-forbidden

Hello uttam,

no, that should not make any difference, if you are on a new WP (which is PHP > 4.3 only, so I would try to update both PHP and WP first).

Thanks,
Martin

It’s probably a permissions issue. Let us know how/if you solve it.

Thanks.

I’m trying to use Windows Live Writer to post to my wordpress site, but it says:

The server reported an error with the following URL:
…/xmlrpc.php
Forbidden

When I go to my xmlrpc.php page it says:
XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

Why?

Is there any problem for working of XML-RPC ?

upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.8 shouldn’t be that hard, so I would recommend you to do that. Not only the XML RPC will work, but your blog will be more secure.

Thanks,
M.

I’m trying to use Windows Live Writer to post to my wordpress site, but it says:

When I go to my xmlrpc.php page it says:
XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

Ideas?

This may have changed in the latest WordPress (2.7+) as the external posting functionality has been enhanced. If you figure it out, please let me know so I can update our information to cover the latest versions.

What do I do?
