All the latest of everything, but this has been an issue for 4 months.

[rodtrent]

OK…just wanted to post the fix for this. I’ll let the JetPack folks know, too.

To fix this, locate the class-IXR.php file in the \wp-includes directory. Then, locate the following line, comment it out (//) and save it:

header(‘Content-Length: ‘.$length);

Following up as it’s still an issue:

Speaking of which…anyone have a better Group plugin than BP Gallery that they are using with success?

[rodtrent]

FYI: This is now fixed. It was the BP Gallery plugin with the latest version of WordPress (3.4.2) and Buddypress (1.6.1). But, instead of just disabling the plugin, it had to actually be *moved* from the plugins directory structure.

@djpaul – Unfortunately, that’s the only way it works. It doesn’t work in bp-custom at all.

[rodtrent]

Try adding the following to the bottom of your buddypress/bp-loader.php file:

remove_action( ‘bp_template_redirect’, ‘bp_redirect_canonical’, 2 );

This will remove the canonical redirect hook that might be causing you some issues.

I’m still working to get the Group pages to work, but the following allowed me to get the Member pages to work:

Add this to the bottom of the buddypress/bp-loader.php file:

remove_action( ‘bp_template_redirect’, ‘bp_redirect_canonical’, 2 );

This will remove the canonical redirect hook that might be causing you some issues.

[rodtrent]

Interesting that it wouldn’t work in bp-custom, but had to be placed in bp-loader.

@djpaul — this fixed the issue with the member profiles:

[rodtrent]

Thanks! Worked like a charm.

You would *think* BP doesn’t touch XMLRPC at all, but here’s the scenario…

Pre BP 1.6x – works fine. Windows Live Writer connects and works. JetPack can connect.

Post BP 1.6x – With BP activated, Windows Live Writer cannot post to WordPress. You have to disable BP before JetPack will connect correctly – gives error about XMLRPC. So, something that BP is doing when enabled, locks XMLRPC.

I’ve reported this to the JetPack folks and they are checking into it.

[rodtrent]

Gave it a shot, but had no affect. Same issue. If I could get the profiles issue resolved (too many redirects), I can circle back to the others. It’s just strange that Buddypress “locks” the XMLRPC file.

[rodtrent]

Any takers?

[rodtrent]

@swaggstar Where in BP-Loader.php did you place the file? I’m having the same issue and have been since 1.6.x released.

[rodtrent]

Anyone attempted a stab at fixing this specific issue?

[rodtrent]

@marc-birkett So…what exactly did you add to your web.config? Your link talks about the htaccess file which isn’t available for IIS.

[rodtrent]

Yeah…it seems that’s a common suggestion — permalinks, page recreations, etc., etc. I’m seeing more and more folks with this same issue and it’s really not grabbing the proper attention. I have the exact same issue and have been digging through code for two weeks to try and locate exactly what 1.6.1 did.

[rodtrent]

Same issue here and reported by others. Would be nice to see someone take a stab at figuring this out.

[rodtrent]

OK…cool. Looking forward to the 1.6.1 update!

[rodtrent]

Bump

[rodtrent]

Yep…definitely issues. I’m wanting to downgrade, but don’t see any downgrade instructions posted anywhere. I’ll just have to wait until there’s a more significant reason to upgrade instead of just having the latest and greatest.

[rodtrent]

Same here. Still waiting to figure out if someone will produce a fix for this version.
