    I'm evaluating BlogJet and like the software but constantly get a "HTTP/1.1 408 Request Timeout error" with WordPress. Godaddy is hosting my website @ epicgizmo.com but I don't think that's the issue. Here's the situation:
    1) Boot up laptop (XP SP2) and open BlogJet, enter my wordpress uname/pass combo...everything is working great.
    2) Close BlogJet and my laptop (putting the laptop into hibernate/sleep mode)
    3) Open laptop back up and log in
    4) Open blogjet and attempt to post or post as draft (or do function that requires communication with the wordpress server) and it doesn't work

    The only work around I've found so far is to delete the Wordpress profile and re-enter it. While this doesn't take long...it's a huge pain! Please let me know if there is a fix as if there is, I'd like to purchase several copies of the software for my team.

    It seems like it's a server problem. BlogJet sends requests to xmlrpc.php, but server returns this error instead of an actual reply, because it takes too long to process the request. You should contact GoDaddy on this issue. Probably, there's a problem with WordPress installation, PHP, or MySQL. Maybe GoDaddy set too short processing time available for PHP.

    Seems odd that it doesn't happen every time with BlogJet if that were the case. It never happens when I first enter the profile...does it make the request with different parameters for initialization?

    The first thing to try is to disable all plugins in WordPress and try posting. Some plugin can cause excessive use of CPU time or making too much database requests.

    Yes, when you create an account in BlogJet, it sends a different request.

    Godaddy tells me it's an application problem and not with the wordpress install. I went as far as uninstalling all of my plugins and even reinstalling a clean version of wordpress. I still get the same issue.

    This is a little frustrating as I really like the software except for this tiny problem I'm experiencing.

    Is there a problem with just connecting every time like you do when the account is created? That seems to work great. Or doing some sort of re-initialization ever time to defeat this issue?

    My Trial period just ran out, but I'd like to purchase if we can get this issue resolved. Please help!

    Godaddy tells me it's an application problem and not with the wordpress install.

    Could you try, for example, a free blog at WordPress.com (just for testing purposes) -- they have their server software configured properly. Will it work?

    Please write to dmitry@codingrobots.com and I'll send you an extended trial key.

    Thanks!

    Did you guys ever resolve this? I'm seeing the same issue from another app that is interacting with a WP site hosted on GoDaddy via xmlrpc

    This can be an issue with Apache module mod_security. Create or edit file called .htaccess in your WordPress installation directory and add the following lines to it:

    <Files xmlrpc.php>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </Files>

    Contact your hosting service provider for more information.

    Oh, and GoDaddy's customer service is lying. No surprise here, considering that they are the least competent hosting company out there with an awful customer support.
