Ecto/WordPress Woes

August 3, 2007 BY Mark Evans

This is a test. I’m having problems with Ecto and/or WordPress – all my post have a time stamp of 10:07 a.m. while posts written in Ecto takes some time to appear or don’t appear at all. And another mystery: posts written in Ecto aren’t appearing on my blog but appear on my RSS feed.

Update: It took some digging but I figured out the problem. I recently started using a plug-in called SideBlog to write asides. I deactivated SideBlog and activated MiniPosts2 – and, voila, problem solved.

    Two things you might want to try:

    1. Upgrade your version of WordPress. If you’re not using the latest version you may not be taking advantage of bugfixes to the XML-RPC function that Ecto interfaces with.

    2. If you happen to be future-posting, and it’s showing up as 10:07am, you may want to try going into Options and disabling the UTC time code setup. Ecto overrides any WordPress-based time settings with its own that gets uploaded when you make a post.

    Good luck!

    Shaun,
    Thanks for the help. It took awhile but I figured out the problem: it was a plug-in called SidePost that I recently installed. Once I deactivated it, the problem disappeared. Lesson learned!
