Livewriter Worked.... Now It Doesn't

[TCWriter]

Here's an odd one. I used to write my blog entries for my multiple WordPress installs in Windows LiveWriter beta, but eventually switched to BlogDesk for its streamlined interface and speed.

 

Now I've got a new blogger working with me. He wanted to use LiveWriter, and damned if we couldn't get Windows LiveWriter working. He couldn't configure it, and I even downloaded the new version (which used all my old files and settings just fine), and I couldn't even get that to work with the same blogs it used to post to just fine.

 

Of course, in that six months since I ditched it, LiveWriter and Wordpress have both been upgraded, but honestly, both *should* work with each other (my blogger used the current version of LiveWriter with a Wordpress.com blog).

 

I get a "400" Error, and I've played around with the settings enough that I don't think I'm missing anything obvious.

 

Any ideas? Guesses? Communications from the dead?

 

Thanks!

A 400 error is a bad request.

 

If I remember correctly LiveWriter uses the .NET Framework. Make sure you have the latest.

 

I only briefly played with LiveWriter a long time ago. I either use the WP admin interface to blog or BlogDesk.

Thanks. I too prefer BlogDesk, but you gotta make allowances for the rare deviant... 8-)

 

Believe I have the latest version of the .net framework. The hunt continues...

Aha! It was the Bad Behavior Plug-in (it's a plug-in that prevent spambots from harvesting e-mail addresses and links).

 

Thought I'd pass it along for anyone having the same problem.

 

Take care,
