wp.newPost XML-RPC custom fields XML format

  • I’m generating XML from a desktop app and am successfully creating WP posts – using a custom post type. The post type has custom fields too, and I can update them through the WP UI.

    However, I’m having a mental block as I try to figure out the XML for wp.newPost to populate these custom fields from my desktop app. This is what I’m trying (no error message).

    Any ideas?

    <member>
    <name>custom_fields</name>
    <value>
    <struct>
    <member>
    <name>lrp_rating</name>
    <value>
    <string>5</string>
    </value>
    </member>
    <member>
    <name>lrp_album</name>
    <value>
    <string>sealed_knot</string>
    </value>
    </member>
    </struct>
    </value>
    </member>
