Live Writer (WLW) not detecting second site

The XML location for the second site should be https://www.portraits.SITENAME.co.uk/xmlrpc.php – thats what you have, right?

No, when I was trying that I was getting a 503 error. I thought the there was only one xmlrpc file in the root

Well, yes, but the sub site should redirect to the right file. I’m not sure you should have the www before the sub site URL, mind.

Did you turn out XML for the sub site?

I added the sub-site through the network functionality of WP3.0. With this method I believe there is only one xmlrpc.php file in the install.

Interestingly this is working ok on the WordPress iphone app but not when I use the new WLW version.

**Edit** I may have cracked it! I’m using a maintenance mode plugin whilst I’m creating the sub-site. This is also screwing up the iphone access when it’s activated so must be blocking the file access! I’ll deactivate it tonight and see what happens with WLW!

Oh yeah, that’d do it ??

WLW and the iPhone app BOTH use the same xmlrpc stuff.

Closing this as it was the maintenance mode plugin which was stopping WLW access to the relevant files! Doh!

I am experiencing the same problem as ‘adetaylor76’. I have one MySQL database and two blogs. The second blog is located on a subdirectory of the first blog (/en). When adding the blogs in Windows Live Writer 2011, I add both the first blog and the second blog. These are two different addresses since the second blog is on a subdirectory of the first blog. Both blog accounts show me the same posts and pages that belong to the first blog only. The content of the second blog is not showed at all.

I am logging in with a super admin, and both blogs have the Atom Publishing Protocol and XML-RPC enabled under ‘Writing Settings’. How can I make WLW to recognize the second blog as well? I tried using Google and the WordPress forum but so far to no avail…

Thanks!
