Deepest Sender

Found a new tool today that allows me to blog inside my web browser… Deepest Sender. It’s pretty cool, but ran into an issue setting it up; kept getting an error when I tried to log in that said “TypeError: node has no properties”. I found a few suggested solutions on the web, but in my case, I had my posting URL set to the wrong URL.

Thought I’d explain my fix in case others have the same problem.

focusminded.com describes a security setting which could indeed be the issue, but before contacting your hosting provider to check security problems, it’s probably a good idea to make sure you have deepest sender looking for the right “xmlrpc.php” page set to your posting page. If you copied the URL directly from wordpress for posting, you’ll probably have something like http://domain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php.  You really want http://domain.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php.  Try that URL out, if it exists, it’s the correct one (by exists, I mean you’ll get something other than a 404 error).  If you’ve already got the correct xmlrpc.php page, you might have the security issue that is described by the focusminded site and you may need to contact your hosting provider.

Hopefully this will save some time with the same issue.
