CAn’t post from Windows LIve Writer
-
I imported my Spaces account to WordPress and I can’t post to my blog through WLW anymore. When I try I get the following error:
“An unexpected error has occurred while attempting to log in:
Server Error – The server reported an error with the following web address:
http://cid-aa05416ea74484ff.users.api.live.net/Users(-6195473768869755649)/Blogs/Service
405 Method Not Allowed”
I also upgraded to the RTM version of Writer and tried different logins, both those of WordPress and of Windows Live, but nothing works.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
Have you seen the sticky posts for Windows Live Writer bloggers at the head of this forum?

Sorry for a real basic question, but did you change the configuration of WLW to add your new WordPress.com blog?
-
auxclass No, but it seemed to have detected it automatically. It shows the WordPress logo.
timethief Yes I did, and there is nothing useful in there.

@auxclass
Good catch! Thanks.@epsilonvectorplusplus
Thanks for letting me know that link was not useful. It’s been ages since I used windowslivewriter. http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/ -
At this point I would probably try to add the blog again from scratch to WLW, not much to loose, maybe something just glitched in the set-up or something.
The other option is contacting support and they are a bit snowed under at this point, I just received a reply back to a question about fixing email on a transfered blog, simple question and it was a 17 hour turn around. So attempting to reconfigure or add a new blog to WLW is the quicker.

The upgrade process from windows live broke for me as well. Because the username I have on win live was already taken on wordpress, the upgrade stopped half way through and prompted me for a new name.
I typed in a new name and it created a URL for me using that name. However the new name is not the one that is used to log in to wordpress. Working this out took a while as I did not receive the email from wordpress for some time with relevant the information in it.
In live writer 2011 I added a new account with the correct details and then removed the old one. Seems to work now, but cannot down load the theme (whatever that is).

The Theme is what gives a blog the look and feel, color, header, size etc. WLW normally gets part of the Theme and downloads it so you can see how your post will look online.
There are about 100 different Themes to choose from. Dashboard >> Appearance >> Theme
