Other Services Not Able to Pull Info from ANY of my Blogs

    I have a few blogs on WordPress.com that I use to post editorials and ideas anonymously.

    In the name of convenience, I am trying to use IFTTT to auto post my blog entries to other social mediums. I also have my favorited videos & such post to my WordPress.com blogs from IFTTT. The post TO wordpress works flawlessly, however the posting FROM wordpress will not work to the other mediums.

    IFTTT instructs me to “Please enable XML-RPC support in your WordPress dashboard under Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing.” When I do some research, this is already enabled by default. However, the channel on IFTTT is posting this error: ” General Trigger Error: An error with WordPress prevented your Recipe from working. Edit the WordPress Channel or try again. If errors persist, visit the Help page for support.”

    I know the settings for WordPress are correct because YouTube can post TO WordPress with no problem. However, nothing can post FROM WordPress.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I would like this resolved ASAP.

    XML-RPC is already enabled by default here at WordPress.com.
    Make sure that you have the correct XML-RPC URL:
    http://media125.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
    See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

    I have checked this previously, and I get this response on that page: “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.”

    Again, I am not having problems publishing TO the blog. I am having issues when trying to pull and distribute information FROM the blog.

    Right, XML-RPC only accepts post requests, which means you can only send data to it, you can’t take data from it.

    There are plenty of services which will tie into your blog’s RSS feed instead for this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/

    Also, try Publicize for some of the more popular social networks: http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
