There should be either a message at the top of the edit page or in the Xpost-Widget. I won’t have time to take a look into this for the next one and half weeks. But then I will see if I can locate a problem with the error messages.

It could help if you provide more information: Wordpress and plugin version? Did the problem only occur when updating a post or also when cross posting it the first time? Do you use Quick Edit? (That might be a problem, in fact.)

Is there any kind of error indication when an xml-rpc cross post fails? We’re running into examples where a cross post doesn’t update and we can’t tell that that happened.

@Chris (comment 19): Good news for you. I added a feature to crosspost comments in version 1.1.0 of the plugin. Have fun with it!

Have you checked the username and password you entered in the Xpost settings for the blogs you are crossposting to? The error messages suggests that these are wrong and therefore the plugin cannot login.
Other reasons for the error, I can think of, are:
1. The user set in the Xpost settings for the blog you are crossposting to does not have the permissions to create posts.
2. Posting via XML-RPC has been disabled.

You should check these things. If that does not help some more information would be useful. At the moment I do not fully understand what you did. Did you update the user info of the contributing blog after the plugin stopped working? Or have you updated the user info and then it stopped working? If the later, was it immediatly oder after a while?
When do you get the error message? When creating a new post? Or when updating an existing post?

btw: I am now working on a new version which is also able to crosspost comments. (However, there might be some limitations to this feature.)

hello, I have xpost installed on two WPs and it worked for awhile then i started getting this message – Now I did update the user info for the contributing blog so it seems something happened in the process.

XML-RPC connection to the blog failed: Sorry, you are not allowed to publish posts on this blog.

Oops, I just noticed that I always forgot to change the version number in xpost.php which is the version number displayed in the admin interface. However, readme.txt will contain the correct version number.
Thank you for the notice, I hope I remember to fix this in the next version.

I just installed Xpost by using the installer within WordPress. However, when I look at your site here, you say you’re on version 1.04. Which version is the right one?

I did some research on this and it might be a bug in wordpress itself. When I tried to schedule crossposts in my testing environment they also did not get published. In the article overview Wordpress said then “missed schedule”. I do not really know why this only occured with the crosspost itself, but not the original post (and I had both blogs at the same server with Wordpress 2.8). However this seems to be a known problem and a workaround (which worked for me) is described at http://www.newbloghelp.com/wordpress/wordpress-missed-schedule-future-posts-fix
There exists also a plugin fixing this problem which I have not tried: http://blog.5ubliminal.com/posts/missed-schedule-future-posts-scheduled-mias-wordpress-plugin/

Afterwards I tried it also with Wordpress 2.9.1 and had no problems with this version.

Therefore you might want to check your Wordpress version and whether it says “missed schedule” for the unpublished post.

Hi,

We’re finding that posts initially cross posted as draft sometimes don’t switch to published in the cross post when the original is published. We’re using 1.0.4. Updating the original invariably clears this up but we’re publishing posts in advance so sometimes don’t catch this until after the date.
