I intend to use Windows Live Writer 2011 which I downloaded.
It almost connects but comes up with the following error:
“Can’t connect to your blog service:
Problem with blog server – Server Error 405 Occurred
XML-RPC services are disabled on this site. An admin user can enable them at
https://newteam.org/blog/wp-admin/options-writing.php
Please try fixing the problem and then try again.”
I checked the php file in an editor, but don’t know how to enable the service.
Can you help?
Thanks
Any idea what is keeping this page from displaying?
Best regards,

]]>When I try to add extra RPC calls through “Update Services” on the Writing Options page, I sometimes get a 404, but this only seems to happen if the URI has a . in the name, ie if it points to a specific file rather than a directory, eg:
https://www.britishblogs.co.uk/xmlrpc.php
I then wrote a post, describing the problem at https://nerd.steveferson.com/2007/03/16/wordpress-problems-updating-settings/
And got a 404 when I included one of the same URLs. Being a novice at this I can only assume WordPress automatically tries to PingBack any URLs included in the entry. There doesn’t seem to be a problem with ordinary links though, as I had no problem linking to a web page (.cfm) and a PDF (.pdf) in other posts.
Any ideas what’s happening?
]]>Options | Writing
If I make changes to this panel on my local install and then click “Update Options” button bottom right, it is successful and the URL is /wp/wp-admin/options-writing.php?updated=true
On the website install, I made a few changes to the panel, clicked “Update Options” button and end up with a “404 Not Found – The requested URL /wp/wp-admin/updated=true does not exist.” What’s missing, of course, is the PHP file, options-writing.php should be in the path.
The file is there, correct permissions, and this is the first time logged into WP as administrator.
Anyone got ideas on what’s happening and how to fix it?
