GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 159563
Request to add Wordpress support
Last modified: 2010-03-05 22:37:19 UTC
It would be nice if, as part of the preferences, Wordpress was one of the available options. Wordpress uses, near as I can tell, the MetaWeblog API.
Created attachment 34157 [details] [review] Patch that adds Wordpress as a Blog Type option Basically, in my patch, all I did was create a Blog Type of 'Wordpress', that pre-selects the API (Metaweblog), and sets the 'url_ending' variable. I have tested this with my Wordpress install (http://ktd.sytes.net)
I had this in CVS... but I'm appending: wordpress/xmlrpc.php instead of just xmlrpc.php Is this not correct for Wordpress?
Depends... I have wordpress installed at the 'top level' of my webroot, so xmlrpc.php is just sitting at http://ktd.sytes.net/xmlrpc.php. IMHO, it would probably just be better to leave it as xmlrpc.php instead of wordpress/xmlrpc.php
I have a patch for this at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167499#c5 In essence, forcing the default installation directory of "wordpress/" doesn't work for anyone that uses a different directory name, ( ie Chris Shaffer above http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159563#c4 ).
reopening as requested information has been provided.
The feature request of Wordpress being available option is at least now fulfilled with Self-Run Wordpress blog type. "wordpress/xmlrpc.php" versus "xmlrpc.php" is a dedicated bug 167499.
