WordPress Native iPhone App

I have the same problem but I’m running 2.5.1. When trying to set up the app I get this error:

Communications Error
Operation could not be completed (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 64)

Similar error here (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5) on a new WordPress install (Version 2.6) with the iphone app. No multi-byte characters in the names, no add plugins. Still looking for solution. I’m sure one is out there =)

I’m getting the “error 5” variant on blog.joshlewis.org, which is running 2.6. I wish I knew how to fix or work around this!

Okay, I figured it out!! (my issue at least)
Taking a cue from buraglio’s “no add plugins” I turned off all my plugins and I was able to add my blog settings into the app and was able to post. For me the offending plugin was the AMM – Amazon Media Management Extension (ver1.5).

So you might want to try and disable some plugins and see if that is the offending issue.

I’m struggling with this… I only have one blog that I’m working on: https://winesandmakers.com/blog/ and it absolutely WILL NOT load into the WP iphone app. The blog is in WP 2.5.1. No plugins are activated, but it is a skinned template for the new Wines and Makers website. Not sure if that matters. I’m not very technically savvy with this stuff.

The error message I receive when I try to ADD BLOG to the iphone app is:

Communication Error
Can’t find host

I actually do blogs for work, so having this functionality will really free me up when I’m on the road!

Help…

It happens to me too in my blog.

NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5

I tried to disable plugins. Didn’t work out.

guys this seems to work:

Turns out a guy in Spain has a fix which is a matter of adding a few lines to the ‘.htaccess’ file in your WP install.

<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>

Worked for me.

When I do this, the whole site goes down. I had no .htaccess I made one, with this entry and nothing works.

Any suggestions?

I get the same, whole site goes down. The phone does pick up straight away that there is a problem with the XML-RPC service, but I’m guessing that it is fairly important to keep the site running as well!

My blog “hung” on the iPhone App until I updated to 2.7.1… Hope that helps…

This site has the fix that worked for me.

Basically it’s adding this line to your .htaccess file:
<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>

A word of warning though, be careful when editing your .htaccess file, you could screw everything else up.

mod_security bites people once again!

There’s nothing inherently wrong with mod_security. However, too many webhosts set it up and then don’t maintain it or even use sane security rulesets for it. So mod_security tends to break a lot of things.

This is why I recommend disabling it if you find out that your web host is using it. It’s amazing how often that fixes things.

However, on the other hand, mod_security does actually do what it claims to do and can stop a lot of attacks dead in their tracks. So the better solution is to find a web host that actually maintains it properly and knows what they are doing. Of course, that’s easier said than done. ??
