You need to put your port number in the URL.
How did you install the wordpress on your machine?

I installed Wordpress on my machine using LAMP stack from the command prompt on my Linux Mint 18.3. My localhost host address is 192.168.0.105 and my site is on 192.168.0.105/wordpress/. I dont know if sharing these IPs is considered good or bad so i've been changing 192.168.0.105 to 'localhost' when posting the outputs here.

I also did a

1	sudo netstat -ntlp

This is strange.
This error raises when you pass an invalid XML character to the server.

Try to install sudo apt-get install php-xml -y && sudo service apache2 restart
Some guys had this same problem and solve it installing the php-xml package.

That did solve the problem but I'm getting an error at wp.call now

Try this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

>>> from wordpress_xmlrpc import Client, WordPressPost >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.taxonomies import * >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.posts import * >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.users import * >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods import * >>> wp_url = "http://192.168.0.105:80/wordpress/xmlrpc.php" >>> wp_username = 'admin' >>> wp_password = '#####' >>> wp = Client(wp_url, wp_username, wp_password) >>> post = WordPressPost() >>> post.title = 'My Post' >>> post.content = 'This is content' >>> post.id = 1 >>> wp.call(NewPost(post))

[SamLearnsPython]

That worked! I checked the site and the post is saved as draft with the title and content i inputted.

I'm unsure what the number after wp.call is though

Output:
>>> wp.call(NewPost(post))
'7'
>>>

It showed '5' the first time I created this post. When i moved that to trash and recreated it shows 7

[gontajones]

I think this is the ID of the new post.

So, is better to use it like this:

1	post.id = wp.call(NewPost(post))

[SamLearnsPython]

Thank you! That worked perfectly. Honestly thank you so much for helping me.

[gontajones]

Nice, you're welcome!
I learned something new too.

I dont know if sharing these IPs is considered good or bad so i've been changing [the ip address] to 'localhost' when posting the outputs here.

I don't think it matters since that's your local ip address. That address isn't publicly available, and only exists behind your router. It should be no surprise to anyone that your local address is "192.168.0.NNN". The only thing we can guess by seeing that, is that you have 5-6 internet enabled devices, possibly more (computers, tvs, game consoles, tablets, cell phones, etc), and that isn't really meaningful info either.

Good to know this! Thank you for the info
