Dreamwidth and Wordpress . . .

[whichy]

So in the past I have cross-posted straight from my self-hosted Wordpress blog to LJ. I tried switching over the basic settings of the LJXP wordpress plugin to dreamwidth and got "Something went wrong - 302 : Client error: Can't edit post from requested journal" as an error -

E.T.A.
Okay - solved - even though i get an error when setting it up, the cross post does work.

BUT - posts made that way, don't cross-post to LJ (which is my current default setting), any ideas?

Currently, if you post to Dreamwidth with a software program or webservice, it does not crosspost. The crossposting only effects entries posted or edited through the website.

The journalpress plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/journalpress/ ) will let you crosspost from wordpress to multiple accounts (I've tested it with LJ and DW and it works).

More crossposting plugins etc are listed here:

whichy, do you have any tips for setting this up? (It looks like you're still crossposting to Dreamwidth from your WordPress site, yes?) I come back here to ask on an old post because it ranks unsurprisingly high when googling for a WordPress plugin to crosspost to Dreamwidth.

I'm running WordPress 2.8.4 and i just installed LJ-XP 2.0.6. I entered my details and hit "update/crosspost," which gave me an error but actually did crosspost my entries -- except without a footer. So i went back in to try to play around with the footer, and i found all of the details (site, username/password) were re-set to the defaults. I re-entered everything, tweaked the footer, hit "update", got an error message, went back in to see if all the info had dumped again -- and it had, plus all the entries the plugin had crossposted to Dreamwidth have vanished.

ARGH! [sadface]
