Joeblogs Wordpress exception 401

Question

I am developing C# Windows application that uses joeblogs WordPress api to post to WordPress blogs via this application. I have tested sample program with localhost url as localhost/wordpress/xmlrpc.php, it worked fine and posted successfully but when I changed url to http://wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php to post online then it generates below mentioned exception

An unhandled exception of type 'CookComputing.XmlRpc.XmlRpcFaultException' occurred in CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll

Additional information: Server returned a fault exception: [401] Sorry, you are not allowed to publish posts on this site.

Code:

Solutions I tried were:

• Enabling xmlrpc which is not more available in 3.5 and above versions because it's been permanently enabled in latest versions
• Checked my username and password and both are correct

Answer 1

Looking at your code you are trying to publish directly to wordpress.com.
The URL should be starshahid20.wordpress.com

Understandably, you don't have permission to write to wordpress.com
