WordPress, Contribute and XMLRPC

Hey All. I am having some issue with Contribute connection to
WordPress on my server.
Error: Please make sure you have sufficent permissions...
Well i am the Admin, so i have gave XMLRPC CHMOD 777 to be on
the safe side, along with the root folder, buts its not worked.
The url to it is
http://www.planecrazy.eu/demo/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
I am using this as the access point to my blog,
the page says Forbidden, i have visited the main wordpress
website and used this extension on some one elses blog and you get
a very different response...
XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.
Bingo, the problem must be that file. But i have no idea how
to sort it out, in the contribute user name i am entering the Blog
user name and password, is this correct or should it be my sevre
username and password?
I have tryed it with a manual and cpanel install of
wordpress, does exactly the same to drupal too, any help would be
very appreciated, thanks all

I am having a similar problem. I can't connect to a blog
because of insufficient permissions. But I've changed the
permissions everywhere I can think to , and keep getting the same
result...
"Error: Please make sure you have sufficent permissions..."
Is this a common problem, something new? I've connected to a
number of blogs with contribute, and this is the first time I've
seen this.
Any suggestions?

CS5.5 and WordPress Multisite

So, I upgraded from my CS4 to CS5.5 last week. I've extremely excited about the Live View / Inspector aspect of editing my php and WordPress projects. I'm running this on a suped up win 7 box. I deleted/uninstalled my old xampp setup and downloaded a new one. I'm going to have a Solr search engine for a WordPress Multisite blog/directory when I'm all done. So, I spent the time to also set up tomcat and get an instance of Solr running on my local machine. (not that this is important, but shows I'm not a complete beginner).
I've followed the tutorials on setting up WordPress to be able to do the testing server, live view and editing. Everything works fine on a new single blog install (I started a brand new one just to check and to do the Lynda.com tutorials, which are working just fine.) But, when I go to the Multisite Sub-Blog and set up the discovery of the related links DW gives me a whopping 4 files that are linked. I can follow the links on the live view pages, but the dynamic linking files are not showing up in the top toolbar? I can't jump over to the header.php file and then back to the index.php file, because they are not finding all of the linking php files.
As, I mentioned, it's a multisite only problem, becuase it's working on a single blog install just fine. I thought maybe it was because of the addressing, the testing folder was different from the root website. So, I edited the vhosts.conf file and hosts file to add a specific testing domain name and there was no change except that I don't get the error anymore when I set up the testing server that the site url of "/" doesn't match the one I had that was "/mydirectory/".
This was an older site that was set up in Dreamweaver that I just kept changing all of the local testing environment stuff, but the link to the remote server was still active. So, I thought that might be causing the trouble because it was going out to that server to try to follow some of the dynamically linked pages. So, I completely deleted everything and started over with a fresh Site with just the Testing server set up, fresh wordpress, fresh evreything. I am able to discover the related links in the file right up to when I turn on multisite in a sub-directory install and the whole discovery of related links wigs out.
If you look at the http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network I checked the dynamic links at each step. It worked turning on Multisite and going to network setup, but as soon as I entered the code in the wp-config.php file for defining a multisite and added the .htaccess file then the whole thing breaks.
I'm sure it has to do with how the path is loaded somehow dynamically, but as many people that there are running this combo, of Dreamweaver 5.5 and trying to work on Wordpress, and maybe a Multisite install since it's so much easier in 3.0+ I was surprised that there was nothing on the web about this issue.
Thanks for any help upfront.

The WordPress Multisite does use mod rewrite in .htaccess. The contents of that are found in the link I provided on setting up a WordPress Multisite install found at WordPress.org. As each of the sub-blogs require the use of elements and data from the main site and structure to draw the pages I do not think that setting up each sub-blog as it’s own site definition would work. It would still have issues finding the relating files. I guess, if someone figured out how to use Dreamweaver on a blog hosted at wordpress.com to edit themes and such that would probably flow to solving this issue as well.
Since this is on a Development XAMPP server on my own machine, if I put the .htaccess code in my httpd.conf file instead would that make a difference? Or is it the mod rewrite that is the issue no matter where it resides?
I basically decided to set up each sub-blog as a completely separate “site” for now since all I’m sync’ing is the theme folders anyways at that point and all I was truly after was the Live View / Inspector for making the layout changes. When I did that though and activated all the plugins that I’m using I noticed some issues with file discovery as well. I saw in one of the tutorials that there was a way to link a style.css file manually for “design” prior to uploading the site. Is there anything inside of Dreamweaver that would allow us to manually add the necessary php file for the finder. I’m pretty sure that it’s getting stuck at the line that is saying (dirname(__FILE__) . “wp-load.php” or something like that (off the top of my head). Once that relative file would be found my guess is that it would discover all the other ones? Or there is an issue with the ABSPATH variable being set early on in the WordPress installation.
At this point I’ve tried a dozen different ways to get this to work and it’s obviously broken. Since it’s so prevalent (I think a lot of the posts I read had this also as a multisite drupal/joomla issue as well) that it would be something worth figuring out how to provide a work around.

Contribute and Dreamweaver

I was wondering if it is ok to work back and forth between
Dreamweaver and Contribute, also, I was wondering if I need to
change my ftp connection do I just need to make a new connection
key in contribute and also make a new connection to the server in
dreamweaver? I'm making a site for a client and they haven't
decided if they are going to host it or if we are going to host it.
If they decide to host it I'm going to have to change my whole
connection and I'm just wondering if I'm going to be able to do
this.

I would use containers outside the editable region to help
control styles. For example, if you wanted a styled list, but
wanted Contribute to work well with it, you could do something like
the following. Tables are also useful to use because they are
easier to edit in Contribute. You could also redefine p tags, h1-5
tags, li tags, etc. per div container.
#my-container{
/* any styles this may need */
#my-container ul{
/* any styles for the ul tag */
#my-container ul li{
/* any styles for the li tag */

Contribute and 2 css files

I have developed a site for a client in Dreamweaver using css
for font styling. I also use Tab Bar Magic from Project Seven,
which has it's own css file. My client uses Contribute and only the
css menu. He is confused with so many style options and starts
using the P7TBM styles, which do not work right for our content. Is
there any way to hide a css style sheet in Dreamweaver or ???
RJ

If you put the PVII code in a template in a noneditable
region and then
attach the PVII style sheet to the template only ... do the
PVII styles
still show up in the Contribute child pages?

Contribute and Project Seven Plugins

I have a client that has Contribute and wants to do more
updating of their website and ultimately manage the majority of
content updating themselves. I suggested Contribute and they have
that. However, the website uses several PVII plugins, specifically
Tab Bar Magic, Tab Panel Magic and Accordion Panel Magic.
Since I don't use Contribute at all and have the full
DWCS3/Adobe CS3 Suite I am wondering:
1. Should I recreate a more "Contribute friendly" template
and website design that will be easier for the client to update
using Contribute? If so what are the issues surrounding this if I
am using PVII plugins? Should I scrap using PVII plugins
altogether?
2. Should the client invest in the full DWCS3 and purchase
PVII plugins so they can have ultimate control of adding new pages
based on the template design and so forth without any plugin
issues?
Here is the website:
http://ilheadstart.org

Thanks for the reply. I am going to download the Contribute
CS3 and play with it. However, I believe my client has Contribute 3
and not the CS3 version. Will that matter any?
The template for the website already has a "main body"
editable region which is where new content can be added on a blank
page from scratch.
Okay so it's confirmed my client does not need to purchase
any P7 plugins. I was not clear how that worked with Contribute. I
am assuming the plugin effects just appear as they would but the
client can't edit any of that? Maybe once I have the trial program
I can see this for myself and answer it that way.
Also, you say the P7 plugins do not mess up edit mode. Again,
maybe I can best understand this when I toy around in the
application.
My only other question is since the client has Contribute 3
and I will be using a trial of Contribute CS3, will there be a
significant new set of features I will see that they will not?
Lastly, looks like CS4 is coming or at least it's announced. Should
I recommend my client upgrade to Contribute CS3 or wait until
Contribute CS4 comes out? Please advise, thanks!

Issues with transfer between contribute and dreamweaver

Hello!
I just installed the Adobe Creative Suite 3 the Master
Collection for my macbook and I am having issues when I open
contribute and then try to edit the sites in external application
i.e dreamweaver an error message comes up saying make sure that
dreamweaver is installed and that there is enough memory.
Please help me remedy this issue!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The usual reason for this is that you’re using a different colour space in Photoshop. Try using sRGB in both, see if it helps.

Muse for Joomla and Wordpress

I read the previous post back on April 2012. I have worked with Adobe products for over 20 years and I make my living using your products. But I also create dozens of websites on the joomla and Wordpress cms. I read in 2012 that you stated that Muse is not have native functionality that allows an easy export to Joomla and Wordpress or I just designed a responsive site with desktop, tablet and phone formats. I need a way to export this to joomla site as fresh install, do you know of an app or joomla extension that will do this. I realize I may have to tweak it in code but I don't want to hire a coder to translate it manually. Joomla and Wordpress are the dominant platforms in cms and are very assessable by my clients and although I like adobe business catalyst to truly have this program work for me and thousands of other working designs who use your programs daily and to adapt Muse as a part of our work flow we need a way to do this. Has anything changed since 2012?

Hi Jeff,
I am afraid that this is not possible in Muse at this stage, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

Cannot connect Contribute to WordPress blog hosted on Startlogic

I installed WordPress on the server where my website is
hosted. I want to use Contribute to work on that blog. When I try
to set up connections, I specify "other hosts" and I enter the URL
of the blog. After I enter that URL, I can click the "browse"
button and display the blog. When I clicke "next" I am asked for
the ID and password, presumably because Contribute has identified
the API connection. I enter the same ID and password that works
successfuly when I log in to wp-admin on that server. However, I
receive a message that Contribute cannot connect to the Blog.
I am able to connect successfully to my publicly hosted
WordPress blog. I identified the file to which Contribute is
connecting for the publicly hosted blog, and I found the same file
in my WordPress installation on my Startlogic server. However, when
I specify that path and filename in Contribute, the connection
fails, saying it cannot connect to the server.
I opened a ticket with my hosting service, Startlogic, and
the support techs believe I should be able to connect with the ID
qatharms that works fine on wp-admin. However, that ID doesn't
work, and Startlogic cannot tell me what is going wrong. Can
anybody here give me a clue?

Hi Dominic
That's the one thing I can't do right now. The website & customized (and integrated) blog all share the same menu structure in a common Dreamweaver library item. So when you update the library item for the menus, this update is shared across both website and blog. Currently the menus are relatively addressed, for example:
../index.html
../contact.html
This works as long as the blog doesn't use sub-directories to file its posts, created by changing the permalink setting in the WordPress server.
Once you introduce sub-directories then you have to use full URL references to make a shared library item for the menu across website & blog work, for example:
http://www.domain.com/index.html
http://www.domain.com/contact.html
What I'll do is setup another test website / blog arrangement and try your suggestion to see if it fixes the issue.
Would having Contribute setup for both website & blog cause a problem? This is how things are now, the first time I've tried this combo.
Thanks.

Snow Leopard, PHP, MySQL, Apache and Wordpress!

Hi there,
It's taken me most of the day to work this out, so I thought I should post about it somewhere and here, on the Apple forum, is the ideal location.
I'm a web developer and love the fact that my MacBook works out of the box with a Unix webserver and with little effort, I was able to set up PHP and MySQL on it. I was delighted to hear that the new Snow Leopard was shipping with the latest and greatest of both. It wasn't quite that easy when it came down to running my test sites, one of which I'm working on is a Wordpress site. Far from being daunting, the solutions to the problems I had were quite simple. The issues arose from the OS not having much exposure yet and not many people having posted their experiences on the web. It was just time consuming.
I should mention at this point that this does require some tinkering with Terminal, but not so much as to cause damage if you do something wrong.
First off Apache. Thankfully this is as stable as it always has been. All this requires to activate it is to visit System Preferences > Sharing and switch on Web sharing. Bish-bosh, job done.
Next off PHP. If you open a Safari window and run your phpinfo.php file (where ever you have it saved. If you don't, they're out there, it's a tiny piece of code which you can use to find out your current php setup). You'll find that everything is superb! PHP 5.3! Excellent! Hang on, scroll down to the date and time section. Whoa! What's this big fat warning here.
That warning my friend, has been the bane of my misery all day. Wordpress hates it. HATES IT! It causes no end of grief. So what's the multi step, multi program solution?
Open your php.ini file and add the line:
date.timezone=Country/City
(do a Google search for PHP Timezones and you will get the exact settings. It's not so good that it understands every city in the world. My setting was Europe/Dublin).
That's all. This will solve your issue of the timezone error everywhere. Stop and start Apache (System Preferences > Sharing, tick off and tick back on Web Sharing) and hey presto, error is gone.
Wait a minute, where the **** is my php.ini file. Unfortunately this is where you have to get your hands dirty. Your php.ini file is a system file which resides in the /etc/ folder. Open a terminal window and type exactly the following:
cd /etc/
cp php.ini.default php.ini
This makes the php.ini file from the default. This protects the original so if you ever need to create a new copy or if you make a mistake in the next steps, you can start again.
Next I'm going to tell you how to edit this file. This uses a program called vi (there are GUI editors out there that will save you this heartache, so if anyone knows any, please post in response. I think TextWrangler is one).
First you need to set the php.ini file so you can edit it. Type in exactly as follows:
sudo chmod 777 php.ini
Sudo is the superuser commmand. It may not be needed, but stick it in anyway. If you are asked for a password, put in your normal password (that you would be asked for say if you were installing something you downloaded).
At the next prompt, type in:
vi php.ini
This will open the php.ini file. Using the up and down keys, find a blank line in the file. You will notice that alot of the lines start with ';'. These are commented lines. Once you find a blank line, press 'i' to insert text. Your screen will now say '-- INSERT --' at the bottom in red. Type the following in exactly (you will NOT be able to cut and paste):
; Set PHP Default Timezone
date.timezone=Europe/Dublin
Substitute "Europ/Dublin" with your own timezone. When you are done, press escape. Now type in the following:
:wq!
The colon is important (not a typo on my part) as this tells vi you are going to run a command. You should now be back at your prompt. Now you need to reset the permissions on the file. Type the following:
sudo chmod 444 php.ini
And that's it. That's your PHP setup and finished. If you run your phpinfo.php file now, you should see your timezone under the date and time where you were getting the error before.
Now the MySQL. This is a bit of fun because, even though MySQL ships with the system, it's not exactly set up correctly! So once again into terminal.
This time go to the local directory:
cd /usr/local/
If you type in:
ls -al
You'll get a directory listing. This has the MySQL folder listed as mysql-5.0.77-osx10.5-x86 (or something! I did that from memory!). This IS the MySQL folder but if you, like me, had previously set the MySQL Preference Pane in your System Preferences, then it won't be able to access this. Type the following command:
sudo cp -R /usr/local/mysql* /usr/local/mysql
This should copy everything into a folder called mysql. It takes a couple of seconds (first time on my machine it was a good 20 seconds) to run so be patient. Now you need to do the following:
sudo chown mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql
This sets the owner and group of the mysql files to 'mysql'. If you go back to your MySQL preference pane in System Preferences, you should now be able to start it (something weird about it makes it require to close and reopen the System Preferences window before it can open the MySQL pref pane. This is normal, just click ok).
The bit that got me here, is that I thought that my activation of the MySQL was actually a new install. I tried everything to change the root user and password for MySQL but in fact, if you had it installed on Leopard, prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard, all your users and passwords are the same. If you HAVEN'T installed it before, I recommend you read the Post Installation Customisation (section 2.3) on the manual for MySQL 5.1 on http://www.mysql.com
So that's about it. All that remains is to test Wordpress. I have phpmyadmin installed (I've heard CocoaMySQL is very good, like iTunes for db's so I'm gonna check that out later) and was able to create the new wordpress database. I changed the settings in the wp-configure.php file to match my setup but nothing worked. I changed the host from '127.0.0.1' back to 'localhost' (a common complaint of the wordpress setup) but no joy. Then I changed the host back to '127.0.0.1' and added the port :3306 (so the full host is '127.0.0.1:3306') and bingo, the install worked, my database setup and my test site worked.
So that's it! Many of you out there will say, why didn't you just use MAMP. I did use MAMP, but I also got the Timezone issues and it took far more tinkering and hacking to make it work. I decided that, as my lovely MacBook now running lovely Snow Leopard had the lovely newest versions of PHP and MySQL installed, I'd rather get them working than use a runaround with MAMP. I'm a happier camper for it.
I hope this helps some of you out there. I don't personally have a blog yet, but when I do, I'll post this up there for all to access. I may even add screen shots!!! But seriously, I hope this helps you all out with your installs. It's so handy to have all this stuff straightaway with Snow Leopard, it's just a matter of getting it to work.
All the best now,
T

Hmmmm... I did a clean drive install of Snow Leopard because I used to do it once a year with Windows and hadn't done it in 3 with my MBP.
First, my httpd.conf file had the line enabling PHP commented out, so when I went to see my simple file with phpinfo(), I saw the source. Saw your post, thought it was the timezone, fixed that (which will probably make wordpress happy when I get it running), and it still didn't work. Looked at the httpd.conf file, found that PHP was disabled by default, fixed that line, restarted the server, and my phpinfo() worked like a charm.
Also if you want to edit config files, I use TextWrangler's "open hidden files" option.
But... I have no /usr/local directory at all. Doesn't exist on my machine. Checked the options in the base install and MySQL isn't offered as an option. Checked the optional installs and MySQL isn't there. Even letting spotlight search for hidden files, the only files with MySQL in their name were from php scripts in my web folders.
There's some stuff about installing/compiling from source.
http://hivelogic.com/articles/compiling-mysql-on-snow-leopard/
Dunno if I want to go down that road quite yet.

Testing Server Setup Re: Webmatrix and Wordpress

I am new to Wordpress so what I did was to setup up everything through Microsoft Webmatrix. Everything installed find for my Local Host Server. As long as I load up the Webmatrix program first I can put the "localhost" adress in my browser and my Wordpress theme will load up fine.
The next step I did was to try to edit my theme via Dreamweaver CS5. I followed all the Adobe on-line instructions for setting everything up. Nevertheless when I press the live view button Dreamweaver keeps asking for the Texting Server which I thought I already had setup. I pointed the "testing server" folder to the same folder as Wordpress (where the theme is also located via "My Websites."
Everything else seems to work and I followed all the instructions given by Adobe. See:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_testing_server.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt2.html#wordpress
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-79e0a .html
Nevertheless when I press the Live View button Dreamweaver keeps begging for the teasting server. I have the "server model" set to PHP MySQL.
Thanks for your help.

Go to the "Site" menu > 3rd down "manage sites"> pick your site and click the edit button
Click the "Servers" tab on the left, this displays the sites you have, sellect your site and click the testing server check box.
When you press F8 make sure you press the testing server button to log onto your site.
Sorry about the French interface, Quebec laws!
Hope this resolves your issue!
PS: you'll have to add a seperate entry for the live server in order to keep things seperated for Dreamweaver.

Does anyone know a good photo gallery that I can use in contribute and easily add photos and new galleries?

Looking for a good gallery that can be easily updated by the user in contribute. All the ones I have found are too complicated for the general user to add/edit photos

Not that I know of, but you definitely need a relational database for this, and FileMaker is the best there is.
It might be worth asking them if they already have a template for your purpose.
Of course, they also make a simpler and cheaper version called Bento:
http://www.filemaker.co.uk/products/bento/
I have never used it but it might be worth a look?

Installing Contribute (and Studio 8) errors

The installer goes through installing all programs in Studio
8 until it gets to Contribute, then it stops and I get the message:
"The InstallScript engine is missing from this machine. If
available, please run ISScript.msi, or contact your support
personnel for further assistance."
I am logged in as Administrator, have turned off all McAfee
anti-virus programs and the XP Firewall. I called Adobe Support 3
times on Friday afternoon but they are now closed for the weekend.
I have done what support asked using the technote to replace and
reinstall the version 10 msi. I have now done this five times and
rebooted each time. I have installed all Windows XP Security
updates and have 4G ram. I can't think of what else to try.
Can anyone help?

Adobe support finally found a solution to this. For Windows
XP and 2000
(a) You need to reinstall the IsScript engine to resolve this
error. Please
refer to this InstallShield troubleshooting link for more
details:
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108158
Please take note that Contribute 3 is using version 9. Follow
the
instructions indicated for version 9.
(b) download Contribute 3.11 and install. (It's about 35mb in
size).

Download the Contribute TRIAL version for 3.11 and use that
to install.
