  Hi All,

  I am having problem editing a post form my own website using vb.net.

  I have gotten then authorization token and was able to retrieve posts (I believe retrieving does not require token).

  At first, I thought there was something wrong with my code, because it returns not error but the post did not change at all.

  Then I downloaded Fiddler and put in all the credentials, and I get return message as:
  “{“error”:”unauthorized”,”message”:”User cannot edit post”}”

  Please help.

  It sounds to me like you are posting in the wrong forum. This is the support forum for sites hosted on WordPress.com. If you are referring to a self-hosted WordPress.org install, then you will have to seek help at the correct support forum, which is http://wordpress.org/support/

  More about the difference between COM and ORG here: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hi,

  No I am not hosting the wordpress myself.

  I was just trying to use the REST API from wordpress.com.

  This is not a WordPress.com community support question per say. Does this help you? http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/integrate-cool-applications-with-wordpress-com/
