Windows Live Writer / WordPress - Invalid Server Response (XMLRPC)

Trying to post some articles on a blog (platform: WordPress) with the help Windows Live Writer, after I gave "Publish"He met repeatedly ROWS an error like:

"Invalid Server Response - The response to the metaWeblog.newPost Received method from the weblog server WAS invalid: Invalid response from document Returned xmlrpc server. '.

The above error generally occurs when large images are inserted in the post on the web server (more precisely in Apache) Is set filters "SecFilterInheritance ON ".

The simplest solution to the problem is removing the filter file xmlrpc.php with the help .htaccess .

</Files>

After you make this simple operation, there will not be problems Xmlrpc.

You Can instructions to disregard parent ModSecurity filters so That You Can Start with the rules from scratch. This directive affects only rules. The configuration is always inherited from the parent context But you CAN override it as you are pleased using the APPROPRIATE configuration directives.
Configuration and rule inheritance is always enabled by default. If you have a configuration context beneath one that has had inheritance disabled you will have to explicitly disable inheritance again if that is what you need.
