I have recently switched my self hosted wordpress site to use 3.9.2 multisite/network, and the wordpress workflow no longer works correctly.

I initially found it failed to fetch the categories using the xmlrpc.php page, but solved that by changing the url in the config to be the true domain name url rather than the ddns registered name.

It now passes that stage of the workflow, proceeding to apparently post, but it only ever posts to the top level/primary blog, and not to the intended sub level blog.

ie I have two blogs, one whose path is the primary wordpress url http://my.domain.com/wp/ and the other at a lower level i.e. http://my.domain.com/wp/thingy

The xmlrpc.php installed by wordpress is only at the top level, as sub blogs are virtual and have no folder structure beyond the top level wordpress install.

I have recently installed BlogPad Pro on my iPad as an alternative to Editorial, as that can happily post and manage either blog/domain.

Any ideas how to solve this workflow problem anybody?

Open up your .htaccess file. You may have to turn on the ‘show hidden files’ within file manager or your FTP client to locate this file.

Inside your .htaccess file, paste the following code:

Block WordPress xmlrpc.php requests

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 123.123.123.123

Hope it will work, I am using WordPress multisite hosting on a managed platform and I never had to go that much technical, always fix the things on their managed platform.
