XML Pull Parser error when trying to add additional account
-
I have a ZTE Warp running Android 2.3.5. I have the current version of the WordPress for Android app, which is 2.1.2. I believe it just updated itself this morning. I already have login info for four different sites entered, and am trying to add a 5th one. Atom Protocol and XML are enabled, but I'm getting this error when I try to save the new account login info:
org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: unexpected type (position: TEXT mentById(id)){js...@1:160 in java.io.
InputStreamReader@40663378

Probably the XML-RPC endpoint of your blog prints out some invalid characters in the XML-RPC response.
did you try with the default theme and with no active plug-in?
(Trying it with the default theme and plugins disabled will help pin down where the problem is. If everything works then you go back and enable your theme and then try it again. If everything still works then you go back and activate each plugin one at a time until you find the one that is causing the breakage.)
You can also test the XML-RPC Endpoint of your blog by using this online tool.

Sadly, the site I am trying to add to the app is a new installation, so I haven't yet installed any plugins and we're still on the default theme. I tried to add the account again just now and I'm still getting the error.

What is the URL of the blog?
-
It's scs-matters.com. We're in the beginning stages of upgrading an existing non-WordPress site, so if you go to the site you will still see the old pages because we haven't taken down the existing site yet. If you think that you might be able to fix the problem, please email me (rebecca at scs-matters dot com) and I can give you FTP or cPanel or Dashboard access.
Oh, and I installed WordPress by hand, not with the One Click Installer provided by the host, so the problem (hopefully) isn't being caused by a glitch in the installation.

I too am seeing this error with the latest release of the plugin and of wp. My site is hosted in a subfolder of the domain:
mysite.com/wp -
@RebeccaInMI - Is your blog already available somewhere on internet? Otherwise you can't add it within the app and I can't test it by using a debugger.
@buddy123 - What is the URL of you blog? Please take a look at the FAQ here: http://android.wordpress.org/faq/

I'm not quite sure how to answer your question Dani.
If you just go to http://www.scs-matters.com you will see the existing (old) home page which is not a WordPress page.
If you go to http://scs-matters.com/test-page/ you can see a test page that I made in WordPress.
If you go to http://scs-matters.com/wp-admin/ you will be forwarded to the login page for the Dashboard.
If I were to remove the existing homepage, which is index.shtml, you would see the page that I have set to be the homepage in WordPress.
So is the WordPress site live for the world to see? No. But is it available on the internet if you know where to look? Yes.

@RebeccaInMI -Try to add your site by using the following URL http://scs-matters.com/xmlrpc.php ?
-
Yes! That worked daniloercoli! Thank you!
Now, will it still work when we eventually remove index.shtml? Or will I need to change the settings?
-
@RebeccaInMI - When index.shtml is deleted you can use the site address: http://scs-matters.com

Great!! Thank you!!!
