Connecting to my WP blog through XML RPC

  • Hi. I have two XML RPC related questions. I’ve searched for solutions with no success.

    1) Is there a way to connect myself to my wordpress admin (user/passwd) from another website, in order to check if i am the owner of the blog?

    2) Once connected and verified(1), is there a way to auto install a plugin, or add a line of code in the header.php file?

    1) I don’t know quite what you mean with this question.
    2) Definitely not. XML-RPC doesn’t do that.

    Mmm… i meant something like this:
    https://dentedreality.com.au/bloggerapi/class/

    That works for blogger. Is there a way to do that with WordPress?

    anyone?

    So what you’re looking for is a remote method of accessing your wp-admin section? I guess I don’t see what the problem is – how do you mean from “another website”? Why not simply access your own wp website to do this sort of thing?

    More info…. need a LOT more info….

    vkaryl,

    technorati has various methods for claiming blogs. one of them is a specially coded solution for WP blogs, where all you have to do is type your wp username/password in order to check genuine ownership.

    im also coding some kind of service for blogs, where you have to claim your blog… and i need this kind of functionality.

    That is what i need to figure out. Any ideas?

    First paragraph: see my answer in your duplicate post on this.

    Second/third paragraphs: I’m no programmer; AFAIK only technorati provides that sort of functionality, and no doubt they have no interest in allowing its use by others without some sort of payment.

    Well.. perhaps it can be done through WP API. Any documentation about it?

    Well, there’s this in the codex: XML-RPC_Support.

    You may need to follow some of the links out to learn more though.
