I can not log in to my blog on my iPad app.

    It just plainly said: “Sign in failed. Please try again.” I’m pretty sure I got my username and password right. I copied it from my dashboard on my Mac so it couldn’t be wrong.
    How can I solve this.

    PS: I also can’t log in to the Posts app. I have no problem with my Blogger blog on Posts app but I just can’t sign in to my WordPress.com blog.

    My blog’s marked “Mature”. Could that is why?

    This is just to be sure are you running the latest version of the app http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/wpios-3-1/

    Here’s the link for the iOs forums http://ios.forums.wordpress.org/
    You may want to post here so the developers are aware of the issue > http://ios.forums.wordpress.org/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.org, click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the iOs forums.

    WordPress.com recognizes your blogger identity but Blogger does not. In reference to Blogger ie. commenting on blogspot blogs the issue is on the other end. Blogspot software assumes we all have a single username here at wordpress.com and only a single blog by the exact same matching name. It will not accept any other URL – invalid URL! it says. Ha!

    So if we have a domain, or we have more than one blog registered under the same WordPress.com username, trying to comment and have it link to our wordpress.com blogs becomes impossible, unless the blogspot blogger chooses to enable commenters to post with a username and URL on their Blogger blog.

    The only workaround is to register a Blogger blog which will allow you to comment but your username will not be linked to your WordPress.com blog when you do. Then you are labeled as a ‘no reply blogger’. It’s crazy-making!

    Open ID has always failed more often than it has worked.

    Bottom line: This is a well known issue. If you simply use the Name/URL option when it’s provided then your blog will be linked to your username on the comments you leave on blogspot blogs.

    Timethief,

    I think you’ve misunderstood the sawang’s problem. It’s not about cross posting using ids from Blogger to WordPress or vice versa (I’m actually not clear on what problem you’re addressing in your reply, so I’m guessing).

    Sawang and I have the same problem with an iPad app called Posts, in which we are okay logging into Blogger blogs, but repeatedly get errors with some self-hosted WordPress sites telling us the username and passwords we’ trying are wrong when we’re very sure they’re correct because they work in the browser on the iPad and they work from other apps (sometimes).

    I do have the latest version of WP as it was just installed today. Funnily enough, the older WP sites seem to be logging in fine. Just the one I created yesterday/today won’t log in in the Posts app.
