Enabling XML-RPC on WordPress MU

November 18th, 2008

Here’s something I discovered while troubleshooting a connection between the ecto blog editor and WordPress MU. Ecto was giving the following error (which I’ve generalized):

XML-RPC services are disabled on this blog.  An admin user can enable them at http://www.hostname.com/blogname/wp-admin/options-writing.php

I had checked the setting in the blog in question, and XML-RPC appeared to be enabled. It turned out that XML-RPC was disabled on the WPMU default blog. After I enabled it there as well, the connection started working.
