A solution to “Word cannot register your account” for Word blogging
When trying to register my wife’s WordPress blog with Word so she could blog directly from Word, we kept getting the message Word cannot register your account. I got this message periodically when I registered my own blogs, but it eventually worked. So, kept it up. No joy.
After failing for several days, I finally decided to see if something more was known about the problem to try to see if it was a “you gotta live with it issue. Eventually, I found the answer! As it turns out, it’s a setting in WordPress’ Dashboard. I don’t recall seeing this setting a few years ago when I registered my blogs, so it might be something new they added to make things less hit-or-miss. In any case, it worked! Here’s the fix.
- At the bottom of the left column, under Dashboard, click onSettings. This will expand the list of settings sections.
- Click Writing.
- Under Remote Publishing, enable XML-RPC. If you think you’ll ever use Atom, then enable it, too, just for the heck of it.
At the bottom of the Dashboard window, click Save Changes. AndBob’s your uncle!
Under Writing Im not able see remote publishing.. there is no any option to XML RPC.. what to do>?
