Question thread #118

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

That ... is really weird and interesting and I was not expecting that result! Okay, yeah, at this point it could be because the PHP XML/RPC libraries may have bitrotted a bit because it's not a very popular format anymore or Wordpress is using a bad version or something. We're way out past the far, far edge of my knowledge too, but my suggestion would be a) check what version of the library Wordpress is using and see if there's a newer one (and that the newer one doesn't break Wordpress, heh), or b) step the module backwards a few versions and keep trying after each regression to see if an older version of it works. Basically, playing around with the versions and seeing if any of them fix the problem. But I don't know PHP or Wordpress, so this is just me guessing too. (We've had a few instances where we have to pin to a particular version of a Perl module for a while because a newer one breaks something, etc.)
